We passed the air-tightness test!

Excellent news from site - our first house passed the air tightness test by quite a large margin. Big sigh of relief from everyone! Passing this test is crucial for Passivhaus certification.

As can be seen on the photo, the PV panels have now been installed on Terrace C. Terraces B & E are also progressing well.

Not much can be seen of Terrace D from the other side of the river, but walls should start rising once the floor slabs have been completed.
The river is fairly low at the moment so I could take a picture from a slightly different angle to normal. It is not quite the same perspective as the artist's impression that we use for our marketing, but I was struck by how close to reality the artistic painting is likely to be.



Note: Apologies for the photo running off-screen, but it really needs to be seen on the larger setting, even if it breaks the page formatting!
