Passivhaus and EnerPHit windows in Shepherd's Bush
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle Passivhaus and EnerPHit windows for homes in Shepherd's Bush and the rest of Greater London.
The windows and installation detail low-energy builds depend on. Passivhaus is a building standard from the Passive House Institute; EnerPHit is its version for retrofits.
Winter light and glass choice in Shepherd's Bush
Winter days in Shepherd's Bush are short: about 7 h 50 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 15°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for Passivhaus and EnerPHit in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
