On December 5th, the first Blowerdoor was passed in the construction phase of the Eco-Passivhaus “Casa Pomona” located in Ivars d'Urgell, Lleida, and a result of 0.11 h-1 was obtained. The construction of this single-family home of almost 300 m2 has been carried out with a light wooden frame finished internally with OSB class 4 and externally on the facades using a SATE of wood fiber and lime mortar and on the roof using mixed tiles on double battens. The carpentry has been resolved with Unione wood-aluminum profiles and Griesser Lamisol type solar protections.

This good result is the result of great work by the construction company Jesfer, the carpentry company Blas Recio e Hijos, the installation company Badia Energies and the technical management. From Play Arquitectura we would like to congratulate all the agents involved and the owners Gemma and Xavier for their patience and good management. Thank you for betting on such sustainable architecture.

On June 4, 2015, the final Blower door test was carried out at the The Library of Villamediana de Iregua with a result of 0.40 h-¹, thus improving the result obtained during the construction phase in March. The test was carried out again by Energiehaus and the staff responsible for the construction company Harinsa Navasfalt, the managers of the companies Onhaus, which supplied the sealing material, and Carpintería LLodiana, which supplied and installed all the windows in the project, as well as the technical management of Play Arquitectura, attended the event. With this test, the construction phase is practically complete and we are entering the final stretch of the Passivhaus standard certification. 

From Play Arquitectura we would like to thank the companies Harinsa Navasfalt, Onhaus, Carpintería LLodiana and Energiehaus for the effort, dedication and professionalism shown from the very beginning to ensure that the demanding construction requirements of the Passivhaus standard were met in the first public building in Spain.
