Passivhaus design principles
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is implementing Passivhaus design principles for new developments to meet net-zero carbon goals.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is currently implementing Passivhaus design principles for all new developments, exceeding statutory building regulations. This approach, detailed in the council's Public reports pack in February 2026, is part of its commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Schemes including Hartopp & Lannoy, Farm Lane, and Lillie Road are being constructed to these standards.
