A team of Architects that tread the line between creative design solutions and technical expertise. Based in Auckland, with work across NZ

Respond Architects
A big day at our Orakei Multigenerational House… A big day at our Orakei Multigenerational House… it has achieved pre-construction Passive House Certification, but the real proof is in the as-built quality through site inspections, and the big one - the blower door test.
.
This is was the pre-line test before insulation and plasterboard goes on, to check the levels of airtightness that had been achieved. Higher levels of airtightness and a lower number mean less heat loss, less chance of condensation entering the walls, and a more energy efficient and durable building. You can still open the windows and doors, while constant background ventilation with heat recovery is provided by a balanced ventilaiton system. Most new builds in NZ achieve around 5ach, with the Passive House requirement as 0.6ach. 
.
It’s the contractors first SIPs project, and their first Passive House project, so there were definitely a few nerves….but the result came in….at 0.26ach for both pressurisation, and depressurisation; and the @starke_nz joinery is yet to be adjusted to see how much more we can eek out! An absolutely fantastic result, marrying the design, detailing and construction into an outcome the whole team can be proud of.

‪After a lot of hard mahi from Imogen Iversen an ‪After a lot of hard mahi from Imogen Iversen and Fiona Gavriel, Respond Architects and our parent company Prendos New Zealand Limited are proud to be a Toitū carbonreduce certified organisation, as part of our ongoing commitment to reduce our emissions and our impact on the environment.‬

‪We know that the construction and property industry is one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand, and while we aim to reduce the operational and embodied carbon emissions of all of our projects, we wanted to look to our own doorstep too!‬

‪Becoming Toitū carbonreduce certified reflects our desire to lead the way towards a more sustainable future for our sector. It means we’re embedding sustainability in our own day-to-day operations, and we’ve committed to tracking, managing and continually reducing our own impact on the planet.‬

.
It’s great to have another assessor on board for this great building rating tool!
.
‪Homestar is an excellent was to assess the wider context of your home and it's impact on the environment - water use, healthy materials, resource efficiency, embodied carbon, energy use; the list goes on! It sets an excellent benchmark to raise the standard, health and efficiency of our built environment, and if combined with the Passive House, Enerphit or Low Energy Building standard from @passivehousenz , you know you are doing the best you can in all aspects of your project.‬
