For this newly built private eco-home, our primary focus was on minimising environmental impact. To achieve this, we utilised a combination of innovative materials and cutting-edge technology, all aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Collaborating closely with service engineers, we developed a bespoke energy concept. Key features of this approach include:
1. Ground Source Heat Pump: This sustainable solution provides general heating by harnessing the earth’s natural warmth.
2. Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR): By efficiently recovering heat from outgoing air, MVHR ensures optimal indoor air quality while conserving energy.
3. Solar Thermal Panels: These panels are instrumental in generating hot water, utilising the sun’s energy to meet household needs.
4. Highly Insulated and Airtight External Envelope: We meticulously designed and constructed an external envelope that is both well-insulated and airtight, minimising heat loss and maximising energy efficiency. envelope.
