Putty Off-Grid sneak peak. On Friday last week, we had a studio visit to our Putty project, before the owners move in. It was a chance to also test the home for draft proofness. Stefan from @sydney.blower.door was able to confirm we just meet the requirements, so we are still on track and targeting Passivhaus certification! Big thank you to all, for their hard work in achieving this mile stone. To get over the line, a special shout-out to Duncan & Eli from @builtbyeli , Evan and the team @egmasterbuilder for the prefab, @kinzelindustries for the high performance airtight windows. The last shots are the living area with glorious winter sun streaming in. Cant wait to see the owners finishing touches.

Hunters Hill clients excited to move in on the weekend. A retrofit with new kitchen @jpckitchens , laundry bathrooms, insulated floors, brick walls and ceiling. New UPVC by @kinzelindustries . New addition of HRV @stiebeleltronaustralia We are ready to check the Scorecard Kel @sustainability.certified . Great working with Nick @sowdenbuilding and Crystal @brightfuturebuildingdesign thanks for working on this with me.

We had the honor of welcoming the boss of @kinzelindustries to our Blaise Building Services site, where he brought his expertise to the installation of triple-glazed windows overlooking stunning Phillip Bay! 🌊 His precision and skill in structural glazing take our build to the next level, ensuring beauty, efficiency, and durability. #BlaiseBuildingServices #KinzelIndustries #TripleGlazedWindows #StructuralGlazing #PrecisionCraftsmanship #PhillipBay

Our Balmain EnerPHit project is a finalist for the HIA GreenSmart Awards which will be announced this Friday. We took an 1884 masonry semi which was cold or hot, full of mould and just really unpleasant to live in and transformed it into an extremely healthy, comfortable home, with minimum energy demands - which is so pleasurable to live in. This is what PassivHaus is all about. Thanks to @connecteddesign and @envirotecture - plus all of the amazing crew and subbies who we get to work with on every product. #hia_au #hiagreensmart #iPHOpenDays #iphaopendays #balmainEnerPHit #certifiedpassivehouse #certifiedpassivehousebuilder #balmainbuilder #EnerPHitbuilder #passivhaus #passivehouse #passivehousebuilder #passivehousesydney #passivehousebalmain #passivehouseannandale #hempcrete #builderinnerwest #sustainablebuilder #masterbuilder #greenbuilder #rammedearth #sydneybuilder #passivesolar #birchgrovebuilder #solarenergy #solarpanels #heatpump #nontoxic #blowerdoortest #hrv

Beauty in the making. Almost at handover for another certified passive house build. Super exciting.

Final touches on Hempcrete Passive House. This project features our triple glazed Energeto Neo 76mm windows. With the addition of a third gasket, energeo neo windows offer enhanced wind and watertightness parameters while providing increased security against burglary. As manufacturers, we are committed to meeting our customers’ needs by continually evolving and delivering innovative, high quality products. The Energeto Neo system boasts a sleek modern design and impressive thermal insulation, with low U-values and is one of our passive house certified products. #architects #builders #passivedesign #passivehouses #construction #sustainable #passivehousewindows #energyefficiency #sustainablewindows #uPVC #energetoneo

The blower door test is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess the airtightness of a structure. During this examination, the building undergoes intentional pressurization and depressurization to simulate various environmental conditions and identify potential air leakage points. A powerful fan is affixed within a temporary airtight frame of an exterior door. In a depressurization test, the fan extracts air from the house, reducing the interior pressure and drawing air in from the outside through unsealed cracks and openings. A pressure gauge measures the amount of air pulled out of the house by the fan and entering through unsealed cracks and openings, exposing any leaks or areas of inadequate insulation within the building envelope that could compromise energy efficiency. In new builds, especially in passive houses where airtightness is paramount, conducting a blower door test is particularly crucial as it allows builders to detect and rectify any issues early on, ensuring builders can make necessary adjustments to enhance optimal performance of the building’s airtightness and overall comfort. The addition of a smoke gun during the blower door test provides a visual element, pinpointing any potential air leaks with precision. This is where the superior engineering of our tilt and turn windows becomes evident, effectively obstructing smoke from infiltrating the building and showcasing impeccable airtightness. Such performance is not only essential for energy efficiency but also for ensuring a healthy indoor environment by preventing the entry of pollutants and allergens. With our tilt and turn windows, you can rest assured that your home remains airtight and energy efficient, regardless of external pressures. Furthermore, their versatile tilt and turn functionality offer added ventilation control and easy maintenance, thereby enhancing the overall comfort, safety, and liveability of a house. #passivehouse #energyefficiency #tiltandturn #doubleglazedwindows #tripleglazedwindows #sustainableliving #blowerdoortest

We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of our new window profile system @aluplastausnz Energeto Neo at the South Pacific Passivhaus Conference @passivhaus_australia THRIVE 2023. The conference provided us with an excellent opportunity to network with professionals from the building and construction industry and to learn and share knowledge about energy-efficient building solutions. Attendees had the opportunity to see Energeto Neo in action and learn more about its features and benefits. One of the key advantages of Energeto Neo is its ability to meet the stringent standards of the Passivhaus certification. We look forward to working with architects, builders, and designers to incorporate Energeto Neo into their building designs and help them achieve their sustainability goals.

🐰 Happy Easter 🐣 Hoping your Easter is full of the sweetest things in life! Please note our showroom will be closed over the Easter Weekend. See you on Tuesday 11th April.
