Resilient London: confronting climate change

Westminster City Council’s first residential development that achieves Passivhaus

energy standard, providing 65 new sustainable homes — with over 40 per cent

genuinely affordable. This scheme, comprising generous public open space,

provides a blueprint for introducing low energy principles to social housing-led

design. The design utilises a complex combination of studies that assessed the

composition, form, glazing and heating strategies of the building. The principles

of low energy design will provide low bills for residents, utilising sustainable and

renewable energy sources for all energy usage.
