Ideal for hard to treat & solid wall properties PermaRock’s EPS-Passiv external wall insulation (ewi) system was installed as part of a number of energy efficient measures retrofitted to a Victorian house, contributing towards creating a low-energy, Passivhaus standard
dwelling.This project, shows how using PermaRock external wall insulation can help achieve Carbonlite and Passivhaus targets on existing hard to treat and solid wall dwellings. PermaRock can also be design & supply systems for incorporation into new buildings to also achieve Passivhaus and Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) levels 4-6 standards. An Infra- red Thermographic Survey was undertaken to prove effectiveness of the building as a Passivhaus and to establish the buildings overall thermal condition.
