Home > News > AV Birch supports groundbreaking emerging business

For over forty-years, AV Birch Ltd has been at the forefront of the manufacturing and engineering industry, leading the way in terms of design and innovation, becoming a trusted partner for a wide range of customers

Having a culture for innovation we are delighted to have recently supported an emerging business, Tŷ Eco, who are working hard to earn a Passivhaus certification.

Tŷ Eco (Welsh for Eco House) produces an economical, panelised Passivhaus building system, from the slab up, the building system is sustainable, renewable and/or recyclable.  

John Small, Director of Tŷ Eco tells us;

“Utilising the extensive manufacturing experience of our sister company Minera Roof Trusses, we have engineered a high-quality building system that can be easily supplied to site and erected quickly with a finish ensured through the Passivhaus quality assurance process. 

It’s a surprising fact that buildings are a significant culprit of carbon emissions, accountable for 35% of total global energy consumption. The Passivhaus standard gives a range of proven approaches to deliver net-zero-ready new and existing buildings. The Passivhaus approach is good for people and the planet.

We know AV Birch has an incredible reputation for fantastic customer service and so when we needed support, they were the first people we turned to and we couldn't be happier.”

Scott Heyes, Director at AV Birch says:

“We have been working with Minera Roof Trusses for several years so when we were asked to install equipment for their sister company, Tŷ Eco, we were more than happy to help.

At AV Birch we are proud to have an ethos for innovation and world class customer service, to be involved with such a progressive business as Tŷ Eco continues that ethos.”
