Some work currently in progress on an old house in a conservation area. Not an attempt to make it airtight, just practical measures that will make a big difference to the carbon footprint.

A 4 bedroom semi detached in conservation area, built 1911.

Improved insulation including some internal wall insulation, loft insulation. Replacement of original windows with recreations in wood to enable style to be kept and encapsulation of original leaded lights. Highly modulating conventional gas boiler with reasonably smart heating control, TRVs on all radiators and woodburning stove in main living area (used as a CH substitute when practicable). Water saving shower head. LED lighting. Solar PV generation. Energy efficient appliances being phased in. Use Good Energy as electricity and gas supplier.

Average daily total electricity consumption before solar PV subtracted around 4.6 kWh (based on daily monitoring by a Current Cost Envir - equivalent to 1650 kWh pa).
