Architype presentation given to the local branch of Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI) at the Ministry of Education, Wellington NZ, 19 February 2014.
6. Make Time!
“The community love their building, they feel it
belongs to them, the respect it and care for it”
“The layout really works for us, because the
architects listened to our ideas and responded to
our ethos and practical needs”
“The building has helped us move from Satisfactory
to Good in our latest Ofsted”
18. ‘Standard’ Performance!
Most school buildings do not perform in
terms of user comfort
Most school buildings use 5+ times as
much energy as predicted
HOW do we change this?
19. High Performance!
Monitor buildings and learn from our mistakes
Support users in occupying their buildings
Avoid tick box compliance processes
Set standards + Use techniques that will
deliver them

28. Achieving Passivhaus?!
Meet a series of technical standards
Building fabric U-values of 0.15, windows/doors of 0.8
Airtightness of 0.6 @50 pascals
Eliminate thermal bridging
Model the building using PHPP
Optimise the orientation, form and fabric
Prove thermal energy is below 15 kWh/m2.a
Prove primary energy is below 120 kWh/m2.a
Confirm within limits of overheating
Undergo the rigorous certification process
29. Love Passivhaus!!
It’s based on sound building physics and evidence
It’s based on reducing energy by design, instead of offsetting
carbon with add-ons or off-site ‘allowable solutions’
It encourages integrated design thinking + rigorous discipline
It drives simplicity of form, detailing and construction
It works!
Clients + Users love it!
48. Client Outcomes!
“We feel that our children are more alert and
attentive in lessons due to the amount of
daylight in classrooms and the fresh air
throughout the school. The fact that the new
school is built to passivhaus standards means
that learning has been enhanced. Our pupils
are comfortable, secure and stimulated by their
new environment; hence they learn very well!”
Sara Morris: Head Teacher, Oak Meadow Primary School
49. Delivered performance!
“Our gas bill was 90% less in the first year
of occupying our new building, compared to
the old one”
Sara Morris: Head Teacher, Oak Meadow Primary School
52. Acoustics!
Not all teaching needs to be enclosed
Open plan spaces offer different educational
and social experiences
Open plan spaces can enhance daylight and
ventilation
