Passivhaus in the UK is reported to be gaining more and more momentum, and many Passivhaus schemes are said to have sprung up across Scotland. 

Believed to be one of the world’s largest ever Passivhaus education projects is the impressive, ‘super-sized’ Dunfermline Learning Campus for Fife Council.

The 55-acre, circa £220m development will contain multiple educational buildings, including two new schools – St Columba’s RC High School and Woodmill High School – for which Metal Technology has been appointed to supply its System 5-45 Hi+ inward opening window and System 17 Hi+ curtain walling Passivhaus products.

Both high performance products have been purposefully designed to meet the required Passivhaus energy-efficiency criteria and have been approved as certified components by the Passivhaus products institute, with System 17 Hi+ curtain walling achieving the highest ranking of A+.
