Rennovation planning

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)
