[GSBN] Fwd: Passivhaus certified :)

[Jakub Zucha-Wihan]

Hello All,

We have been involved in design and build of a family house in Onehouse, near Stowmarket, Suffolk for which Dave and Mabel Howorths are responsible. It could possibly be the first and only loadbearing certified passive house in the world. Dave is not sure. Please see his e-mails below.

Would you happen to know of any other certified loadbearing passive houses out there?

Could you please also help in completing Dave’s straw bale passive house database, by sending him information about other strawbale buildings that are (,or are aiming to be) passive house certified?
His e-mail:
dave at howorth.org.uk

Many thanks for all your help!

With warm wishes,
Jakub Zucha-Wihan
