[SERIES] Sustainable Projects Around the World | The Schwarzman Centre, Oxford University.

The world’s first Passivhaus concert hall, at 18,326m² Schwarzman Centre brings together teaching, research, libraries, music and performance spaces, including a 500-seat concert hall.
Its designed space-heating demand is just 7 kWh/m² per year, less than half the Passivhaus limit of 15. And its 20 air-handling units recover more than 80% of otherwise wasted heat.

It’s a great example of how high-performance sustainable design can be applied to complex cultural spaces, not just residential projects.

Building better means creating homes that perform as well as they look. Great to hear Sven Fischer highlight ECHO.1 and why high-performance homes matter with Antony DiMase.

Because better-performing homes create better places to live!

The homes we build today should still perform beautifully decades from now. That’s why our homes are shaped by sustainable design, enduring quality and meticulous attention to detail, creating spaces made to last.

The story starts long before construction. At ECHO, LOHAS Nilo Rustic bricks are fired in biogas-powered kilns and engineered to reduce firing time and transport weight. Making sustainability part of the façade from the very beginning.
