Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Janet Cotterell is a chartered architect with more than 20 years' experience working in sensitive settings (conservation areas, listed buildings, historic parks), so is familiar with the use of traditional and natural materials. Her focus is on the importance of sustainable building practices and low-energy design principles. She is also a Certified Passivhaus Designer and holds an MSc in Architecture: Advanced Environmental & Energy Studies.

Adam Dadeby is one of the UK's leading experts in Passivhaus and residential heat recovery ventilation (MVHR). A Certified Passivhaus Consultant and a member of the AECB (the Sustainable Building Association), Adam also holds a postgraduate diploma in Architecture: Advanced Environmental & Energy Studies from the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), where he became passionate about the ways 'sustainability' and 'resilience' affect building practice. He and his wife Erica ran the UK's first and only Passivhaus bed and breakfast for a number of years. He has presented talks nationally on Passivhaus and MVHR to built-environment professionals and aspiring self-builders.
