Camden Passivhaus Interiors

Building interiors should be healthy as well as beautiful. This energy efficient Passivhaus also sets a benchmark for indoor comfort and the highest indoor air quality. Even when windows are closed in the winter months, perfect levels of air humidity protect the occupants from elevated levels of bacteria, viruses and asthma inducing contaminants that are common in the warm, damp air of many conventional centrally heated homes. A passivhaus is designed to be health-enhancing. It is free from cold drafts and cold, damp walls. Condensation is non-existent.
