Why
Why choose Zepassiv?
International experience in Passivhaus projects and high efficiency buildings
More than two decades working in Spain, UK and Portugal, with residential, public and private projects.
Specialists in Mass Timber and Lightweight Framing
Multidisciplinary team proficient in PHPP, WUFI, Flixo/THERM, TM59, comfort analysis and building physics.
Fully collaborative approach
We work closely with architects, engineering and construction companies, facilitating technical decisions at all stages of the project.
Risk reduction by design
We identify thermal bridges, damp, overheating and construction problems before they appear on site.
Cost and performance optimisation
We propose viable, efficient solutions aligned with energy objectives, regulations and certification (Passivhaus, EnerPHit, AECB, Net Zero).
