New Eco House
Design Credentials
Designed around Passivhaus guidelines with super insulation in walls and roofs combined with air tightness to deliver minimal heating costs.
Durable, natural breathable materials to be used in wall and roof panel system with timber from renewable sources ensuring low embedded carbon in timber manufacture.
Double glazed argon filled, timber framed windows with very low U values and green sedum roofs.
Eco-heating options
* Air source water heating pump - electrically powered pulling heat from the outside air giving up to 400% efficiency
* Heat recovery ventilation – ducting air around the building and recycling up to 95% of the heat energy in the stale air being expelled, with summer bypass option for natural cooling
* Wood burning stove
* Solar thermal hot water
* Thermal store
