ZEPASSIV
Why work with us?
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.
Passivhaus, EnerPHit and energy efficiency certified consultants
Multidisciplinary team proficient in PHPP, WUFI, Flixo/IES VE, TM59, comfort analysis and building physics.
Fully collaborative approach
We work side by side with architects, engineering and construction companies, facilitating technical decisions in all phases of the project and assisting on site.
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).
Multilingual services
We facilitate communication in international teams or cross-border projects. Zepassiv is active in 15 countries.
Testimonials
What our clients say about us
I was the client, and from the client's perspective, everything went very smoothly.
Bill Haygarth- Homeower
UKZero Energy has been a fantastic team to work with! They have provided extensive assistance in certifying our Passivhaus project and have been attentive throughout the entire process. We will definitely want to work with them again in the future at Clive Chapman Architects, and we highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services!

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do I need energy consulting services if I don’t want to certify my building?
Yes. Consulting helps reduce energy consumption, improve comfort, and prevent construction defects, regardless of certification.
What tools do you use for analysis?
PHPP for energy modelling, WUFI for hygrothermal analysis, Flixo/THERM for thermal bridges, and TM59 for overheating.
Can you work with my current architect or engineering firm?
Yes. We join your technical team to support the design and implementation.
Do you offer on-site support?
Yes. We conduct technical site visits, verify details, and provide support for airtightness and quality strategies.
Do you work in Latin America?
Yes, we also operate in Latin America.
What is energy consulting for a Passivhaus project?
This is a technical service that analyses a building’s energy, thermal, and hygrothermal performance, optimising its design, materials, and systems to meet high-efficiency standards.
