Property details

Award winning property conversion. Listed barn, converted into detached home in 2010 adopting some green principles.

What changes have been made?

I project managed this conversion in 2010 and 2011. My specification was to, as far as possible, exceed the building regulation requirements at the time. From the start we sought to adopt a low carbon approach to the building’s performance. We installed high level insulation, an air source heat pump (ASHP), mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), rainwater harvesting, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, solar thermal and a sand battery heat store.

What have been the approximate energy savings?

Our energy performance certificate (EPC) rating is a B, so our energy efficiency is great.
