ZeroHouse projects

Architecture and engineering decisions for individual homes.

Projects and publication policy

Three project entries are being prepared. They will be published after client approval and evidence review; addresses and personal information are not disclosed without consent.

Areas: new builds, retrofit, design review, autonomy and Lab concepts. Each entry will state the brief, our role, stage, inputs and verified result. Concepts are distinguished from completed buildings.

Have evidence from a real project?

Submit a description and files with permission to review them. Publication and evidence level are assessed separately after review.

Submit project evidence

A case should explain the decision path

Assessing a project requires more than floor area and appearance. The original brief, constraints and reasons for selecting assemblies matter. Siting, enclosure and services should be explained as connected decisions. If an option changed during construction, publication must distinguish the designed arrangement from what was installed rather than combine drawings from different stages.

Evidence supports different claims

A concept describes an idea; a completed design documents decisions; a built project needs confirmation of execution. Measured performance requires the method, conditions, date and observation limits. Certification needs a specific document with a defined scope. One winter bill or a façade photograph cannot establish every claim about energy use, comfort or workmanship. Readers should be able to see which conclusions the available evidence actually supports.

Prepare material for publication

A future case needs an agreed description, usable illustrations and permission to disclose information. Personal data, exact addresses and internal documents should not enter a publication merely because they appear in a working archive. Unconfirmed drafts remain hidden. If proposing a building for review, use the form to describe the evidence available and what may be published. That allows a case to develop from documented facts while protecting information that belongs only in the project workflow.

Greenbor: a comprehensive group project

The Greenbor residential development was created and delivered by PNVTEAM GROUP. It represents integrated delivery at group level. A ZeroHouse case would additionally need an initial energy scenario, documented decisions and evidence of our particular role. This reference does not claim that ZeroHouse worked on Greenbor, installed its systems or measured its performance.
