The PH15 Construction System

Your route to an optimised solution for NetZero Carbon Housing.

Designed for economy

PH15 reduces the energy demand by focusing on the quality of the timber frame and insulation materials. Investing in the fabric rather than on-site renewables is a far more cost-effective long-term strategy that saves you money.

Designed for well-being

Every PH15 includes an MVHR system that provides a constant supply of fresh air. Filters remove air pollutants from the in-coming outdoor air. This delivers improved indoor air quality, health benefits for occupants and quieter indoor spaces..

Designed for the planet

PH15 allows you to build to future energy standards today. With efficient use of timber, paired with natural insulation, the PH15 system achieves vastly lower net upfront carbon emissions.

Achieve more, with less

In the UK we continue to construct new houses with minimum insulation, lots of thermal bridges and air leakiness. The results are houses that are carbon and energy intensive, are expensive to heat and suffer from condensation and poor internal air quality. PH15 is an optimized construction solution that meets the 2025, 2030 and 2050 Climate Change Energy Targets, and can deliver Passivhaus certified and NetZero ready new housing today.

PH15 has radically less upfront embodded carbon by using small section, engineered timber frames and natural breathable insulations. With vastly less energy usage it can maintain comfortable internal temperatures. And with a super efficient ventilation system it can achieve a better indoor climate with fewer pollutants.

PH15 is tried and tested, avoids undue cost uplift and complexity, de-risks achieving the necessary demanding air-tightness targets (our average result being 0.3 ach @ 50Pa) and includes technical support and training for architects and builders.

Adopt the award winning PH15 solution for a rapid and successful transition to building homes that don’t cost the earth, are comfortable, healthy and eliminate fuel poverty . . . MORE COMFORT, LESS FUSS

Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS) was developed to address these concerns and perceived risks associated with innovative construction. BOPAS is recognised by the principal mortgage lenders as providing the necessary assurance underpinned by a warranty provision, that the property will be readily mortgageable for at least 60 years.
