Planning permission was recently granted for this private housing development in Baldrine, Isle of Man, designed for Wolf Environmental Consultancy (IOM) Ltd by sustainableBYdesign to meet the Passivhaus environmental standard. The development is believed to be the first proposed Passivhaus-standard development on the island, and features solar orientation of principle rooms, heat recovery ventilation, and loft spaces under active solar roofs. Using a palette of local materials, and simple compact forms, it is intended to act as a model for further development on the Isle of Man. More detail
