A crisp day in Comber Co Down at another quality New Build private home. Airtest less than 3.0m3/hr/m2 (more than 3 times better than the current Building Regulations standards), Mitsubishi Ecodan Air to Water Heat Pump, 4 KW Solar PV & Solar Diverter, the excellent Kingspan Group Ultima Timber Frame kit with high performance U-Values means this house has a final Energy Rating of 97A.

This house has CO2 emissions over 90% better than any house built up to the summer of 2022 and a primary energy usage of just over 15 kWh/m2/year which is tiny.

Practically speaking this house will provide a highly comfortable internal living environment, fresh, filtered, pre-heated air with a mechanical heat recovery system, low energy costs for heating/hot water & lighting and a low carbon heating source with electricity energy bills supplemented by the solar panels.

The homeowner did invest a good deal of money in these systems & construction methods but felt it well worth the effort for the long term running costs of this home for himself and his family.

We talk energy efficiency, EPCs, thermal bridging, sustainable design, airtightness & insulation every day and are keen to talk to you on your project whether you use us or not.

We value impartiality as we don’t sell any products, we believe we are honest and have integrity to tell the truth on what’s helpful and what’s a fad or unnecessary.
