Low energy refurb of 1950's house underway

Back in July, the first "Eco Houses Under Construction" event introduced the design for the ultra-low energy refurbishment of a 1950's solid wall house (my house).

The refurbishment work will combine essential maintenance, a loft conversion, and an extension with a radical low-energy refit. There will eventually be a super-insulated roof, ground floor and external walls, triple glazed windows, and a ventilation system with heat recovery.

Finally, work has started - with the floor of the extension. To follow the whole process, keep your eye on the blog: http://eco-retrofit.blogspot.com/

As work progresses, there will be the chance to visit this house and learn more about it from the architect, Gil Schalom. Email info@wbecohouses.co.uk if you would like to receive details as visits are organised.
