Waterworks Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Would it be possible to design a Shepards hut on a passive house principle ? This would be a pretty big maybe 3 x 6 metres internally , and clad in galvanised corrugated sheets. The design would take into account up to 300mm of PIR insulation, maybe vacuum panels in the front door and there would certainly a small wood stove. What would the design need to consider ?

You can use passivhaus principles for any build. Main things are thermal bridges, continuous insulation, form factor, airtightness. So you need to consider ventilation.
ProDave Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago With that level of insulation and such a small space, don't fit a WBS, you will melt the first time you light it.
