Newbuild PassivHaus Design Services
The Woodlands project in Bispham, Lancashire is a one-of-a-kind ultra-low-energy home designed and engineered to meet PassivHaus+ standards. Mantis worked directly with the client and Archiphonic Architects to integrate advanced Mechanical & Electrical systems into a future-ready design that combines comfort with exceptional efficiency.
Energy-Efficient PassivHaus Building Design
The PassivHaus property features high-performance building fabric, airtight construction, and triple-glazed windows. These measures significantly reduce heat loss, helping the home achieve very low operational energy demand.
Mantis works closely with many architects on residential newbuild projects from initial concept and feasibility stages all the way through to construction. Mantis provide a support at all RIBA Stages of work. Our unique selling point is our ability to provide comprehensive 3D MEP design while supporting low energy building projects through energy modelling and thermal bridge detailing.
Renewable Heating & Ventilation
Mantis designed a renewable heating system paired with underfloor heating for year-round comfort. A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system ensures fresh air circulation, recovering heat from internal spaces to minimise energy use.
Detailed design heating, hot water and ventilation layouts were provided using the latest 3D MEP design software REVIT to help architects, builders and clients visualise and build.
On-Site Power Generation
To further reduce carbon emissions, the home benefits from a roof-mounted solar PV system. Using simulation and design analysis, Mantis optimised the array to maximise on-site renewable generation and reduce reliance on the grid. The property’s large flat roof provided an ideal space for a solar PV array.
The property will also benefit from large Battery storage systems and electric vehicles charge points allowing low cost electricity tariffs to be utilised resulting in a low operating cost home.
Full PassivHaus Mechanical & Electrical Integration
From heating and electrical layouts to utilities design and water schematics, Mantis provided a complete suite of services for this PassivHaus. The result is a seamless integration of low carbon technologies into the architectural vision, creating a truly future-proof home.
Like with any newbuild home MEP building services design as well as energy consulting on building regulations Part L, Part O, Part F are essential to ensure that the building is designed and operates efficiently while meeting the latest building regulations.
