Cayford Design

Cayford was responsible for full design and project implementation for this highly thermally efficient sports pavilion. Using Passivhaus design principles, traditional robust masonry construction was selected to suit its heavy school use, and to allow construction by a local builder. The building was self-certified to the AECB Building Standard, and is recorded on the AECB website. This is a standard which follows the full Passivhaus methodology, and is modelled in PHPP, but the energy targets are less stringent; in this case full Passivhaus was not possible due to the building's small size, and its pre-defined orientation, being alongside the sports pitches.
