Developed in 2016, the Home Performance Index Certification is Ireland’s national certification for new homes. The Home Performance Index guides design teams to consider standards and criteria to produce great quality homes, healthy and comfortable, with efficient use of resources, minimising waste and harm to the environment.
Over the last 8 years of the Home Performance Index, what have we learned?
Two significant gaps that have come to our attention revolve around the critical areas of thermal bridging and ventilation.
The importance of addressing thermal bridging within building structures is not fully recognised. Thermal bridging affects energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and overall building performance.
The importance of adequate ventilation for air quality, moisture control, and occupant well-being is often underestimated or overlooked altogether.
Addressing these gaps in knowledge is essential for promoting sustainable building practices and ensuring the long-term performance and comfort of built environments.
Join us for a discussion – with inputs from experts on thermal bridging and ventilation.
