Merci pour ça, John.
I haven't yet taken the time to read the above file but I did have a quick
look at some of the pictures.
One of the things that caught my eye was the seeming preference for
masonry construction.
Obviously, the metal ties (pages 15 & 23) between the masonry wythes
represent thermal bridges and perhaps not so obviously, are highly
susceptible to corrosion and eventual failure.
Have alternatives for ties using non-conductive materials (ie Fibre
Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPC) been utilised in other PassivHaus
buildings ?
