Passive House Plus Article – Evidence Emerges of Endemic Ventilation Breaches

An interesting article in the Passive House latest publishment!  

“Evidence is emerging of endemic non-compliance with ventilation requirements for new homes under Part F of the building regulations- Data gathered by Passive House Plus indicates that only 12 per cent of homes built to the nearly zero energy building (NZEB) standard to date have been subject to independent ventilation validation. Meanwhile, only 9 per cent of homes assessed by independent ventilation validators as part of their registration audit met compliance with Part F. “ 

This data is quite worrying for the sector.
