Passivhaus-certifi ed primary school featuring Wraptite®


nominated for multiple awards N


early 600 pupils, including some 80 nursery-age children, are benefi tting from learning at Scotland’s fi rst


primary school certifi ed to the Passivhaus standard. In recognition of this achievement, Riverside Primary in Perth and Kinross has been nominated for multiple awards. The project won the ‘Innovation in Delivering a Sustainable Learning Place’ category at the Learning Places Scotland Awards 2023, and achieved a Silver Award in the Scottish Design Awards 2024. It was also a fi nalist in both the Public Sector category of the 2024 RICS awards, and the Project Under £20m category of the CN Awards 2024. A key component in the building fabric


airtightness membrane. Installed to the external side of the structural frame, the fully self-adhered membrane contributed to an overall airtightness test result of 0.53 air changes per hour (ach) at 50 Pascals. The Passivhaus standard requires 0.6 ach or lower.


specifi cation was the A. Proctor Group’s Wraptite®


Meeting the Passivhaus standard was


key to unlocking funding from the Scottish Futures Trust Learning Estates Investment Programme. By achieving the target, the school can be expected to use 50% less energy than a similar school that doesn’t meet the standard. Postoccupancy monitoring is taking place to measure in-use performance against expectation. Using Wraptite moves the airtightness barrier to the exterior face of the wall,


avoiding complex detailing around services and other typical penetrations at the internal face. As it is also vapour permeable, Wraptite helps to achieve high standards of airtightness without increasing condensation risk in the structure. A benefi t of choosing Wraptite was that it supported a local supplier. The membrane was supplied by A. Proctor Group from nearby Blairgowrie, contributing to the local economy. “Architype originally specifi ed a loose-applied, taped membrane solution,” explained Kevin Dickson, “but as a local contractor, we prioritise using a local supply chain to deliver benefi ts in the areas where we work, so chose A.Proctor Group and its Wraptite product. As a fully-adhered solution, it removed the need for tape, making it less labour intensive, quicker to install and more economical.”
