Jackie welcomes you virtually to her one-time threshing barn home in Herefordshire that was converted in Victorian times and recently retrofitted with cork and other natural materials.

Learn from Jackie what she did and why, who did the work and the lessons she learnt along the way.

Modifications:

Insulation, pellets heating, solar thermal, solar PV, ev point

Motivation to retrofit:

As part of a futureproofing renovation

Approximate cost:

Hard to say as much of the work wasn't specifically energy-related

Approximate energy savings:

TBC

Benefits:

No fossil heating, no longer cold or damp, very pleasant

Next steps:

Maybe some external shading at some stage (would only benefit on a handful of days/year). Maybe at some stage switch to a heat pump. At the time, considered a heat pump. It was 8 years ago and we didn't want to be 100% dependent on electricity then. And we didn't go to Enerphit standard because of making compromises with the heritage angle.
