Passivhaus Award

Edward Pearce LLP  were appointed as MEP consultants by Grosvenor for their Project at 11 and 19 Passmore Street in 2013.

Developed by Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, they were identified as ‘pilot’ projects, as part of the company’s commitment to reduce their carbon emissions by 50% across their directly managed property portfolio by 2024.

These properties are now the first privately rented buildings to achieve EnerPHit standards in London.

I felt refreshed and full of energy in the mornings because of the filtered fresh air!

  • Construction Cost: Confidential

Sustainability Features

  • Primary Energy Demand: 127 kWh/m2a
  • Space Heating Demand: 23.5kWh/m2a
  • Heating & Cooling Load: 11W/m2

Measured Performance

  • No. 11 & 19 EnerPHits are performing 77/83% better than a neighbouring property that received double glazing, roof & wall insulation.
  • Analysis of actual energy use: 3 months data (Feb-Apr’15): Gas heating - 14.9/11.8 kWh/m2 (higher than anticipated due to property being privately rented, tenants received no training, keeping thermostat high).
  • Total Primary Energy - 27.3/ 23.5 kWh/m2 - incl. PV generation & using PHPP conversion factors (good performance).
