Exeter City Council, GB kicks off Passivhaus council home initiative for more sustainable living

Exeter City Council, GB Passivhaus Council Home Sustainable

Complete

City-owned Exeter City Living built nine council homes in Whipton that are compliant with Passivhaus standards. Council leaders plan to build at least 500 Passivhaus homes throughout the city by 2025. Passivhaus homes use features like exhaust heat recovery, passive climate control, and floor insulation to reduce energy costs. Exeter's push for new council homes reduces household emissions in a more cost-effective way than retrofitting older buildings.
