This home was a part of the Carbon Co-op Go Early project. Since undertaking a whole house retrofit in 2014/5 they have recorded a 47% reduction in gas (heating) use; 30% of electricity supplied direct from solar PV, overall 65% reduction in CO2 between 2014 to 2016 and 76% reduction since 2001.

Come and have a chat about how ordinary houses can be made very energy efficient.

Measures include:

External Wall insulation
Underfloor insulation
Passive vents
Some triple glazing, rest double glazed
Programmable radiator valves
Wood burning stove
3.3kW solar PV system
Energy monitoring
