Derelict Rescue is a series where Britain’s bravest homebuilders tackle the most run down, abandoned buildings. Series 2 is now showing on Mondays at 9pm on HGTV.

Episode 3: The Ultimate Eco Church

Episode three of Derelict Rescue takes us to the picturesque village of Wark in Northumberland, where Alan and Anne James are on a mission to convert a 19th Century Church into a 21st century Passivhaus– the gold standard in sustainable living.

They’ve given themselves just sixty weeks to turn a cold, draughty church that leaks heat into a luxury holiday let, that will be so well insulated it will require little or no heating.

It’s a hugely ambitious project.  But if they succeed, this will be the first time in the world a former church has been converted into a home which meets the rigorous Passivhaus standard.

Warksburn Old Church on Passivhaus Database

We’re delighted that Warksburn Old Church is now officially listed on the worldwide database of certified Passivhaus projects. It’s a proud moment for us that this formal record of the building, and its independently assessed achievement of the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard for retrofit projects, enables this unique home to take its place on this register of some of the most innovative and efficient buildings in the world.

You can view the listing here.
