The house used to be heated by a standard efficiency oil boiler which ran at 80% efficiency (rated SEDBUK Band D).
Mr and Mrs S were looking to maximise their energy efficiency, minimise costs and sustain heating and hot water comfort at the same level.
Official energy ratings taken from Energy Performance Certificate
Energy efficiency ratingVery energy efficient - lower running costs Not very energy efficient - high running costs The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills are | Environmental impact (CO2) ratingVery environmentally friendly - lower CO2 emissions Not environmentally friendly - high CO2 emissions The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home’s impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The higher the rating the less impact it has on the environment. |
