Please click on 'Roofs / Floors / Monitoring' to see pictures of work in progress and monitoring data. Solid walled victorian townhouse (1869) being extended and refurbished to near CLP Step 2 / Passivhaus levels of energy performance. By applying the principles and methodologies of the AECB CarbonLite programme, the whole house CO2 emissions for heat and power should be reduced by 80 to 85% compared to the average measured performance of a typical UK house of the same size.
