Architectural and Structural Detailing Support
Support design team in creating specialist construction details required for submission to Passivhaus Institute using Ecospheric's 13 hat optimisation analysis which considers the following lenses:
Airtightness
Vapour control and moisture - Breathability (vapour diffusivity gradients), capillary activity, drying rate
Ease of Installation Weather tightness
Thermal conductivity
Thermal bridging
Durability
Aesthetics
Acoustics
Life cycle carbon - Sourcing, manufacturing and delivery of materials. Construction, operational use and replacement/maintenance. Finally end of life.
Structural
Building/product warranty
Maintenance - Ease, Cost and frequency
Fire
Supporting the design team in the development of structural solutions and specifications in order to maximise thermal performance and reduce embodied carbon.
This service involves the production of a structural schematic overlay on the plans in order to provide the structural engineer with advice in line with above.
