π‘ Retrofit Passive House Update: Demolition begins.
Demolition is well underway on our Frankston South EnerPHit retrofit, and everything is being stripped right back. Old roof tiles, tired brickwork, and the original roof structure are all coming down, piled up on site as the home gets peeled back to its bones.
It's a confronting stage to see photographed, and it's exactly what an EnerPHit retrofit involves.
You don't tack Passive House performance onto an existing home; you strip it back far enough to rebuild the envelope properly, insulation, airtightness, and all, before a single new brick or panel goes back on.
