The Building
In 1995 when we acquired the semi-detached, 3-bedroom building it was cold and rather rundown. Our focus was, within income limitations, to insulate and initiate other energy saving initiatives which would save us money, make us more comfortable and reduce our impact on the environment.
Undoubtedly our various insulation projects have been the most important and are listed on the Insulation page in detail. They have saved us money to spend on more efficient appliances and so the "virtuous circle" continues.
In 2022 we have:
(a) Upgraded the front 5 front south-facing windows with Accoya framed double glazing.
(b) Upgraded our front door draught-proofing.
(c) Upgraded the flat roof with 118mm Insulation panels over existing insulation and boards
after which our new 2022 Energy Performance Certificate for the Building shows that our current Energy Efficiency Rating is 71 with a recommendation that we now plan to install Hot Water Solar panels on the new flat roof.
