A unique opportunity to visit buildings featured on this website!Build in the Wicklow mountains, this is a really exceptional project with a lot of good detailing.
The house was featured in the Construct Ireland magazine. A link to the article here: jeremy_rynhart_case_study
Let`s start with:
The Foundation
ISOQUICK foundation has been installed to give the house a warm and coldbridge free base
The roof.
pro clima Solitex Plus roof membrane taped at the overlaps for windtightness and counterbattened to create the ventilation zone. Not visible the breathable Panalvent boards underneath for racking strength
The Passive House display “EcoWall” is based on a design by Ecological Building Systems.
The wall build up from inside out:
I have build the units in different variations. They can be seen at the showroom of Ecological Building Systems and the Passive House Academy ( link to the PHA here ) as well as in many hardware shops.
Ecological Building Systems have launched their own Airtight Installation DVD – with Roman from clioma house as the installer!
The DVD was filmed on one of clíoma house`s projects and guides you through the range of pro clima airtightness products showing the right installation and details for various materials.
Here a quote from Ecological Building Systems website:
The DVD was filmed on location at a low energy build in County Wicklow, Ireland and features trained and approved pro clima installer, Roman Sypura of Clioma House. With the initial blower door confirming the airtightness of the structure to be an astonishing Q50 of 0.19m³/hr/m² it proved the ideal project to film. The result is one of the best known to Ecological Building Systems who have been sole agents of the pro clima system in Ireland and the UK for over ten years.

The first to be certified Passive House in Co. Kerry.
Timberframe construction with the following wall build up:
The roof is insulated on ceiling level with nominal 450mm open blown cellulose (510mm Daemmstatt cellulose installed allowing for settlement as per manufactorers instruction).
Internal walls are filled with 90mm cellulose for soundproofing.
The preliminary airtight test came in at an excellent 0.36 airchanges/hour.

Excellent detailing: The external walls and insulation continue to finished level of the attic insulation, leaving no coldbridging!
