First Passivhaus in Isle of Man wins national award

The build adopted the multi-award winning, Beattie Passive system build – the first system in the UK to be awarded certification as a complete build system by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany.

The factory-produced system was constructed entirely on the Isle of Man under the SNX licence by Complete Construction’s island-based workforce, before being erected on site with all materials locally sourced wherever possible. 

Vickers said: “The adoption of this type of development will benefit the Island in so many ways. At a time when we are heading to crisis levels of skilled workers in the construction sector, the Beattie Passive system opens up a great opportunity to train and develop a much needed resource of expertise on the Island to build and erect our systems, which will go a long way to easing this problem.”
