The rapid delivery and construction of 67 No. social residential units for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. This impressive development includes top quality landscaping, high spec finishes, generous defensible space provision and permeable pedestrian routes to the nearby Luas. Sustainable design was the core focus for this project which has uniquely applied Passivhaus Standards in a social housing development in Ireland. Passive Houses require very little energy to achieve a comfortable temperature year-round.
Key criteria incorporated in the project include reduction of space heating and cooling demand, as well as primary energy demand. Energy and environmental monitoring has also be integrated into the design. Air tightness was greatly increased in this project to 0.6 air changes per hour at 50 pascals, one of very few projects in Ireland to have successfully achieved this standard in social housing. At a time of soaring energy prices, Passive Houses are circa 62% more efficient than may other residential units being constructed today.
