Pioneering High-Performance Design

At MosArt, sustainability is more than just energy-saving—it's about creating buildings that enhance comfort, health, and well-being. As the first company to deliver a certified Passive House in the English-speaking world, we’ve spent decades refining our expertise in high-performance design. From airtightness to thermal bridging and ventilation systems, we focus on the critical details that ensure optimal energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

Beyond NZEB: Leading the Way to Zero Emission Buildings

While NZEB (Near Zero Energy Building) is the current standard in Ireland, MosArt pushes beyond this baseline. Our in-depth knowledge of building physics allows us to create homes and buildings that offer not only energy savings but also superior comfort and health. Our designs lead the way to Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB), which represent the next step in sustainable building design.

Innovative Solutions for Real-World Challenges

 

We’ve applied our sustainability expertise to diverse projects, from housing developments to high-rise towers in cities like London and New York. Our approach includes innovative solutions like eliminating wet heating systems, successfully implemented in social housing projects. This reduces construction complexity and costs, while our expert understanding of ventilation systems ensures excellent indoor air quality for healthier living environments.

 

2004 

First Certified Passive House

In 2004, MosArt delivered the first certified Passive House in the English-speaking world, setting a new standard for energy-efficient, sustainable building design.

20%

Heat Loss from Thermal Bridges

Thermal bridges can account for up to 20% of total energy loss in a building, even in energy-efficient structures like low-energy or Passive Houses. MosArt's expert analysis minimises these losses.

0.01 W/mK

Thermal Bridge-Free Design

In Passive House standards, a psi-value of less than 0.01 W/mK qualifies a junction as "thermal bridge-free." MosArt excels at achieving these ultra-low values, preventing heat loss and cold spots, and ensuring high thermal comfort in all buildings​.

70%

Fast Airtightness

By focusing on precise airtightness details, MosArt achieves superior airtightness levels, up to 70% faster than standard methods, significantly reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency in Passive House projects​.

Passive House Certification

MosArt holds decades of experience certifying buildings to the Passive House standard in a wide range of climates. As one of the global leader in Passive House Certification, our expertise extends across different building types and regions. Our team has one of the highest number of Passive House Certifiers worldwide, ensuring a top-tier certification service.

Thermal Bridge Analysis

Thermal bridging can undermine the energy efficiency of a building, and MosArt’s thermal modelling expertise ensures that this is effectively mitigated. Our dedicated team uses advanced analysis to guide the design and detailing of energy-efficient buildings, ensuring that thermal bridges are minimised or eliminated.

Passive House Design

Having designed the first certified Passive House in the English-speaking world, MosArt has been at the forefront of this field since 2004. Our designs are rooted in the "fabric first" approach, prioritising the building envelope and enhancing environmental sustainability through precise building physics.

Hygrothermal Risk Assessment

MosArt's commitment to building excellence includes expertise in hygrothermal risk assessment, which focuses on managing moisture and vapour movement through the building envelope. This service is critical for retrofits requiring internal insulation and for new builds using unconventional construction methods, ensuring that condensation risks are mitigated.
