The WARM difference
Working closely with the Passivhaus Designer, WARM paid particular attention to the way in which the insulation had been installed to the walls and roofs, insisting on detailed quality assurance checking by the team.
The innovative approach to hiding ventilation terminals was probed for effectiveness, ensuring good air quality in the building.
