Justin Bere, Founder bere:architects. One of the UK's foremost Passivhaus practitioners, Justin Bere has over 20 years post-qualification experience as an architect and is a leader in the adoption of the Passivhaus standard in the UK and a passionate advocate of ecological and environmental design. His practice has won numerous design awards and has recently completed two certified Passivhaus low cost social housing prototypes in Wales including the UK's first zero carbon passivhaus and London's first certified Passivhaus in Camden. The practice is working on numerous other domestic and non-domestic new build and retrofit Passivhaus projects including new houses, a community centre and two government-funded Technology Strategy Board refurbishment projects for social housing providers. These projects will be independent assessed and, by the adoption of the Soft Landings protocol, findings will be shared with those closely involved in the projects, as well as the wider community. bere:architects are offering practical solutions to the Government's energy efficiency targets that have the potential to provide a route map to the UK's 2016 carbon reduction targets.
