We still have no house to buy, but I have plans. Many of them. Too
many. But here is my target for the house fabric/infrastructure
rennovation:
- Environmentally sensative rennovation
- Sustainable technologies
- A working family home
- A working family garden with veggie patch (have I been watching too much ‘Good Life’ – go flick go)
I’ve done a good study of technology available, so here is what I’m looking at:
- Wood Pellet stove/boiler for central heating/hot water
- Ground floor underfloor heating (most likely Osma)
- Thermal Store
- Solar water heating for central heating and hot water
- PV to cover base load
- Ground floor wooden flooring (clean, warm, ‘bounce’, renewable source)
- 1st floor carpets with sound proofing felt/rubber crumb underlay
(which seems to contain quite a high amount of recycled products)
- Very high levels of insulation (perhaps warm roof)
