She is also a Certified Passivhaus Designer and holds an MSc in Architecture: Advanced Environmental & Energy Studies.
Adam Dadeby is one of the UK's leading experts in Passivhaus and residential heat recovery ventilation (MVHR). A Certified Passivhaus Consultant and a member of the AECB (the Sustainable Building Association), Adam also holds a postgraduate diploma in Architecture: Advanced Environmental & Energy Studies from the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), where he became passionate about the ways 'sustainability' and 'resilience' affect building practice.

It brings together current thinking and best practice.The book includes a clear explanation of the underlying building physics and terminology, as well as detailed information on key elements of Passivhaus: avoiding air leakage, designing thermal (cold) bridges, moisture management and ventilation strategy. There is also lots of practical advice on setting up a project, including developing a motivated project team, and a discussion of economic considerations and the policy context in the UK.
