Shortlisted for Sustainable Construction Project of the Year

Shore Club, the first residential development in Ireland certified under Home Performance Index (HPI) v3, has been shortlisted for Sustainable Construction Project of the Year at the 2026 Business Post Sustainable Business Awards.

Ireland’s first HPI V3 residential development

Shore Club became the first residential development in Ireland certified under Home Performance Index v3, setting a new reference point for residential sustainability in Ireland.

HPI considers sustainability across a broad range of areas rather than looking at energy performance in isolation. For Shore Club, this meant considering energy, carbon, circularity and biodiversity as part of an integrated sustainability framework.

Passive Dynamics provided the following services for the development, led by Associate Director David Devlin:

  • Home Performance Index assessment
  • EU Taxonomy alignment assessment
  • Whole Life Carbon assessment
  • BER assessment
  • Part L assessment

The project brought these different sustainability requirements together within one coordinated approach, with sustainability embedded into the design and delivery from the outset.

Measured Sustainability Performance

The sustainability strategy was backed by measurable outcomes.

Shore Club achieved a primary energy demand 14.2% below the NZEB threshold, with final BER outcomes of A2/A3. In addition, 84% of construction waste was recycled or recovered, while design for disassembly and adaptability was assessed against ISO 20887:2020.

The Whole Life Carbon assessment, undertaken in accordance with EN 15978 / EU Level(s), recorded upfront carbon of 530.95 kgCO₂e/m² and total embodied carbon (A–C) of 863.60 kgCO₂e/m². The project also recorded a +1365.37% biodiversity net gain from baseline to completion, with no offsets used or claimed.

HPI, EU Taxonomy, BER/Part L and Whole Life Carbon

One of the defining aspects of Shore Club was the coordination of HPI, EU Taxonomy, BER/Part L and Whole Life Carbon on one dense urban residential development.

Rather than treating each requirement as an individual exercise, the approach allowed sustainability considerations to be integrated throughout design and delivery and supported by measured evidence.

David Devlin

“Shore Club demonstrates what can be achieved when sustainability is considered from the beginning of a project rather than assessed at the end.

Bringing HPI, EU Taxonomy, BER/Part L and Whole Life Carbon together gave us the opportunity to look at performance as a whole and work closely with the wider project team throughout delivery.”

said Associate Director, David Devlin.

The Model

The model developed for Shore Club is holistic. It brings energy, carbon, circularity and biodiversity into one integrated framework. This holistic approach is now helping to shape Passive Dynamics’ approach to future residential projects.

Sustainable Construction Project of the Year

The Sustainable Construction Project of the Year shortlisting recognises the collaboration across the project team: Royalton Group, Walls Construction, Plus Architecture, Axiseng and Passive Dynamics.

We would also like to acknowledge David Devlin, who led the sustainability scope for Passive Dynamics and coordinated our delivery across the project team.

Other Finalists Are:

Shore Club is shortlisted alongside projects from Bennett Construction, John Paul Construction and Lidl Ireland. Collectively, the finalists demonstrate the strength of Ireland’s sustainability sector and the high standard being set across the construction industry.

The winners of the 2026 Business Post Sustainable Business Awards will be announced on 1 October.

Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx) is a quality assurance process that verifies whether a building’s external envelope will perform as designed.

It reviews thermal performance, airtightness, moisture and condensation risk, thermal bridging, façade detailing and construction quality from design through to delivery.

Put simply, BECx helps close the gap between what is designed on paper and what is actually built.

Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx)

Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx)

At Passive Dynamics, BECx brings together several areas of expertise already within our team:  

  • Building Physics
  • Architecture
  • Façade Performance
  • Commissioning

This allows us to assess envelope performance as a whole rather than in isolation.

Why is BECx becoming more important?​

A building envelope can perform well on paper, but drawings, specifications and performance targets are only the starting point.

As LEED and wider sustainability standards evolve, greater emphasis is being placed on demonstrating that design intent translates into actual building performance. BECx introduces a structured process for reviewing, testing and documenting envelope performance throughout design and construction, helping to reduce the risk of a performance gap after completion.

As Ciarán McCabe, Managing Director of Passive Dynamics explains:

“The industry is moving beyond designing for performance towards proving performance. BECx gives project teams a more structured way to challenge the design, verify what is being delivered and ultimately provide greater confidence in the finished building.”

Ciarán McCabe

Planning a project where envelope performance is critical?

What does Building Envelope Commissioning involve?

BECx considers the elements that directly influence the performance of the external envelope, including:

  • Thermal performance
  • Airtightness
  • Moisture and condensation risk
  • Thermal bridging
  • Façade detailing
  • Construction quality
  • Installation

The process helps move a project from design intent to verified, tested, optimised and documented performance.

Is BECx a certification?

BECx is not a certification. It is a quality assurance process rather than a standalone building certification.

A Building Envelope Commissioning Authority (BECxA) reviews, verifies and documents envelope performance against the project requirements. Where BECx forms part of a wider certification framework, such as LEED, the commissioning documentation can contribute to that certification process.

Why Passive Dynamics for BECx?​

Building envelope performance crosses several disciplines. Passive Dynamics brings this expertise together in-house through a team that includes NSAI-approved Thermal Junction Modellers, Certified Passive House Designers, Chartered Engineers, Architects and Architectural Technologists, MEP Commissioning Agents, and energy and façade performance specialists.

This multidisciplinary approach allows us to go beyond a traditional checklist, with technical capabilities including:

  • Building Envelope Commissioning Authority (BECxA) services
  • U-value calculations
  • Thermal bridge modelling
  • WUFI hygrothermal analysis
  • Condensation risk assessments
  • Envelope performance optimisation

From design intent to proven performance

The question is no longer simply:

“Has the building envelope been designed?”

Increasingly, project teams also need to ask:

“Can we prove it will perform?”

Building Envelope Commissioning provides the process and technical evidence to help answer that question.

John Treanor, Director at Passive Dynamics, has been awarded Chartered Engineer (CEng MCIBSE) status through CIBSE. 

Recognising a high level of technical competence, professional judgement and accountability in engineering practice.

Chartered Engineer status is an internationally recognised professional registration, awarded following assessment of an engineer’s competence, experience and commitment to professional standards.

The Chartership process provides an opportunity to put that knowledge and experience to the test, with successful registration providing independent professional recognition of an engineer’s ability to apply technical knowledge, exercise judgement and take responsibility for complex engineering decisions.

For John, the achievement is a strong reflection of the standards he brings to his work and an important milestone in his continued professional development.

John Treanor
Chartered Engineer (CEng MCIBSE)

“Chartership was a good opportunity to stress test my experience and technical knowledge and have it independently recognised.

There’s a strong culture of continuous learning at Passive Dynamics, and our four-day week gives us more time and flexibility to invest in our own development.

It’s good to have reached the CEng milestone. The focus now is on continuing to develop that expertise as the technical challenges around building performance and sustainability evolve.”

said Director, John Treanor.

The achievement also reflects the wider direction of Passive Dynamics as we continue to strengthen technical leadership and expertise across the business.

A clear shift towards measurable performance

On 7 July 2026, London hosted one of the most practical conversations in the built environment: how buildings can be designed, delivered and operated in line with a clear net zero carbon standard.

Representing Passive Dynamics, Director Ciarán McCabe and Senior Sustainability Engineer Tony McDonnell attended the UK NZC Buildings Standard Conference 2026, hosted by CIBSE. The event focused on what the UK’s first cross-industry definition of net zero carbon buildings means in practice, and how it will shape future project delivery.

CIBSE UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard Conference 2026
Pictured left is Tony McDonnell, Senior Sustainability Engineer and Ciarán McCabe, Director of Passive Dynamics.

Key themes emerging from the conference

Several consistent themes came through across discussions:
  • A shift from predicted performance to measured performance
  • Stronger links between design intent, handover and operational outcomes
  • The role of NABERS UK, Passivhaus and other established frameworks in supporting the Standard
  • The importance of audit-ready evidence, in-use data and year-on-year performance
  • Greater alignment between carbon, finance, asset value and long-term resilience

From definition to delivery

The introduction of a cross-industry standard is already changing the conversation around net zero carbon buildings. It provides a clearer route from early-stage commitments through to measurable outcomes in operation.

The challenge now lies in how this is applied in practice. This means more informed decisions at design stage, more robust handover processes and, ultimately, buildings that can demonstrate how they perform once occupied.

Speak to our team

If you are working toward net zero carbon targets and want to ensure your project delivers measurable performance in operation, our team can support you.

From design intent to verified performance, we close the gap.

A different approach to commercial development

Bord na Móna are leading by example with their new headquarters in Newbridge, delivering a project that reflects their long-term 2050 Net Zero ambitions.

This is not a typical office development. From the use of a low-carbon timber structure to a fossil fuel-free operational strategy, the focus is firmly on how the building will perform in use, not just how it is designed.

In partnership with

An integrated approach to building performance

Passive Dynamics has been commissioned to support the project across a range of sustainability services, including:

  • LEED AP
  • LEED energy modelling
  • Commissioning
  • Part L compliance
  • BER
  • Eu Taxonomy alignment

Bringing these services together under one roof allows performance to be considered as a whole, rather than in isolation. Early-stage modelling, compliance and certification are directly connected to commissioning and verification on site, ensuring continuity throughout the project lifecycle.

Reducing the performance gap

This integrated approach reduces the risk of a performance gap emerging post-handover — a common challenge in modern building design.

Each stage of the process reinforces the next, from initial strategy through to final delivery, helping to ensure that the building performs as intended in operation.

Setting a direction for the industry

Projects like this are helping to define what high-performance commercial development looks like in Ireland.

By combining low-carbon design with a clear focus on measured outcomes, Bord na Móna are setting a strong benchmark for future office developments.

Looking ahead

As sustainability standards continue to evolve, the emphasis is shifting from design intent to proven performance.

Delivering buildings that meet this expectation requires a coordinated, technically rigorous approach from early design through to operation.

Speak to our team

If you are planning a commercial development and want to ensure performance is delivered in practice, not just on paper, our team can support you.

A delegation from Passive Dynamics joined the Leading European Sustainability Experts at the GBCI Circle 2025 event in Prague.

The event gathered architects, engineers and investors to exchange knowledge and renew our joint commitment to Net Zero Sustainability targets.

There are 3 core pillars which leading experts agree are fundamental to achieving Net Zero, these are:

  1. LEED V5
  2. PERFORM Platform
  3. EPBD Recast
The Passive Dynamics delegation include Eoin Gahan, Ciarán McCabe, John Treanor & Liam Guinan.

The significance of LEED v5 

What encouraged us most is how the updated guidelines shift the conversation from simply “meeting code” to pursuing the best possible outcomes.

Sessions exploring LEED v5’s new prerequisites such as Climate Resilience and Human Impact Assessments along with its streamlined Project Priorities category all emphasise raising ambition, steering teams past check-box compliance toward real, measurable impact.

Circle 2025 opened with a showcase of standout projects. The Highmark Building, an A-rated Dublin retrofit that Passive Dynamics steered to LEED Gold was highlighted for hitting embodied-carbon and circular-design benchmarks that rival new builds.

The Irish construction sector is already delivering world-class sustainability and this project proves it. 

“We should be designing for performance, not for paperwork…

…The tools we choose shape the outcomes we get.

Aiming higher means better buildings and better real life performance, not just better certificates.”

said co-founder Eóin Gahan,

Smart buildings, real performance

A standout session on the Smart Readiness Indicator Framework, led by Vessela Valtcheva-McGee, Bonnie Brook, Denisa Diaconu, Martin Stohl and Nathalie Marková explored how data-driven controls can close the performance gap, enhance occupant comfort and strengthen climate resilience.

Their message echoed the entire summit: aim higher, design smarter and let performance not paperwork lead the way.

Key take-aways for Irish design teams

  • Embodied carbon is the next frontier. Circle 2025 amplified GlobalABC’s call for immediate action on hidden material emissions.

  • Performance-led modelling beats legacy compliance software. Only whole-building simulations will keep Net-Zero promises honest.

  • Collaboration delivers results. The Highmark retrofit shows that architects, engineers and contractors aiming beyond compliance can match Europe’s best.

  • Putting Sustainability into Practice. Passive Dynamics will apply the Circle 2025 insights into upcoming Irish projects and CPD sessions. We also offset the emissions from our Prague trip.

“Irish projects can match anything in Europe provided we aim beyond compliance from day one.”

In line with our ongoing commitment to Research and Innovation, Eoin Gahan, Director and John Treanor, Associate Director recently visited some of London’s most sustainable and low carbon buildings.

One of these notable buildings is Space House London, a 255,000 sq ft brutalist masterpiece. Designed in the early 1960s and completed in 1968, Space House has recently undergone development and reimagining into a low-carbon building, achieving mixed-mode hybrid ventilation,BREEAM Outstanding certification, and Fitwel certification. Notably, it is the first of its kind for a listed commercial building. Bold in every sense, Space House has been designed to a CAT A Speculative Grade A standard, prioritising Mixed Mode Natural Ventilation.

What this building showcases is that we are no longer in an era of sealed buildings reliant solely on air conditioning systems. Much like the evolution of cars over the last decade, buildings must evolve to be operated in low-carbon mode for the majority of the occupied period.

At Passive Dynamics Sustainability Consultants we look forward to continually assisting our clients on their decarbonisation pathway by applying these best-in-class design initiatives which have been successfully integrated into Space House in the heart of London.
