The Mayville Passivhaus Retrofit - Building Performance Evaluation

Mayville Community Centre Technology Strategy Board Building Performance Evaluation

bere:architects were successful in their bid to the Technology Strategy Board Building Performance Evaluation programme and were awarded funding to monitor the Mayville Community Centre for two years post completion. This project presents an excellent opportunity to monitor energy use and evaluate the first certified non-domestic Passivhaus refurbishment of a medium sized building in the UK climate. Following the Soft Landings programme, the study will document post hand-over support to building users, evaluate passivhaus design and construction involving all members of the design and construction team, monitor and collate raw data of energy use and indoor air quality. The study will partner with BSRIA and industry experts to ensure that the broad benefits from working on this exemplar project are disseminated as lessons learnt throughout the industry.

The project will commence in September 2011 and run for two years.
