Fitout equipment procurement strategy
The RIBA Passivhaus Overlay, published by the RIBA in 2022, states in relation to the fitout / equipment procurement strategy: “This is a live document that is developed, used and updated to manage and inform the procurement strategy for appliances and equipment. This is necessary because the significant impact on summer comfort, and therefore overheating risks, that can result from electrical loads make procurement strategies for appliances and equipment particularly important in low energy buildings (including those targeting the Passivhaus standard).”
