Detached 1960's house, Bradford on Avon

 Our house has no loft space and when built in 1968 the roof had very little roof insulation - 15mm of rockwool.

In 2020 we had to replace the roof covering as it was leaking. We took advantage of this work to:
- Improve the building's airtightness.
- Install as much insulation as possible within the new roof.
- Install 6kW of solar PV plus 27kW of battery storage.
- Install an MVHR unit and ducting.

Prior to 2020 we had installed double glazing to all windows and doors, taken measures to minimise draughts, replaced all lighting with LED bulbs.

See the attached Case study for further information

This house has:

• Solar panels,
• Battery storage,
• Cavity wall insulation,
• MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery),
• Low-cost improvements,
• Electric Vehicle charging
