buildability process . As one of Scotland ’ s first contractors to implement those standards , we ’ re probably the country ’ s most experienced groundworker for the installation of Passivhaus design .
“ The implementation of Passivhaus standards significantly enhances energy efficiency and sustainability by prioritising building performance criteria . These standards focus on creating highly insulated , airtight structures with superior thermal performance and minimal energy loss . By optimising natural heating and cooling , and incorporating high-performance windows and ventilation systems , Passivhaus buildings reduce reliance on conventional heating and cooling systems . This not only lowers energy consumption and operational costs but also minimises the building ’ s carbon footprint , contributing to long-term environmental sustainability .”
This commitment to sustainability is also woven throughout the company ’ s internal operations . “ At Kilmac , in collaboration with our Tier 1 clients , we have committed to the Supply Chain Sustainability School , where we currently hold Gold Standard status and are actively working towards Platinum . This partnership provides us with the tools to calculate and report our carbon footprint accurately , allowing us to identify and target the specific areas within our organisation that can have the greatest impact on reducing emissions .
“ In addition , we are ISO 14001 certified , with our environmental management system audited twice a year . One of our key focus areas is the efficiency of our construction plant . We have made significant investments in the latest Cat 5 excavators and have gone a step further by incorporating a fuel active system . This system is expected to save
