Sustainable Design for a Better Future

At Paul McAlister Architects, we firmly believe that sustainable design is crucial for creating a better future. We are passionate about promoting passive house principles and net-zero carbon building practices to minimise energy consumption, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create healthier living and working spaces.

What is a Passive House? (Passivhaus)

A Passive House is a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, resulting in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for heating or cooling. This is achieved through careful design, insulation, air-tightness, and windows.

What is a Net Zero Carbon Building?

A Net Zero Carbon Building is a structure with no net emissions of carbon dioxide in its operation and construction. It is designed to generate or procure carbon-free energy to balance any carbon emissions associated with its operations.

Our practice offers a range of sustainable technical design services, including:

*Crest Centre Construction Diary*: A detailed documentation of the construction process of a passive house project, showcasing our commitment to sustainable building practices.

*Crawfordsburn Passive House Construction Diary*: A comprehensive account of the construction of a passive house, illustrating our expertise in delivering sustainable projects.
