Design 

This house is an Eco home with large areas of south facing triple glazing to take advantage of the sunshine and solar energy and a small area of north facing glazing to minimize heat loss. The building is super insulated to a standard well in excess of current Building Regulations to keep the running costs to a minimum. There is a sustainable heating & hot water system linking solar panels, wood burning stove, MVHR, radiators and a large thermal store hot water cylinder. 

The Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery unit (MVHR) reduces the energy required for space heating by preheating incoming air with an added option of using the induct heater to further warm the incoming air.  Masonry block internal walls act as a large storage heater. The stove and solar panels heat the water along with an electrical immersion to top up water heating.  The house also has ground floor and bathroom radiators connected to the sustainable heating system to supplement the other systems.
