If I had the money, the time and lived in the house I would also:
- Put in solar thermal panels for hot water
- Install solar pv panels for electricity
- Fit a biomass boiler using wood pellets as fuel
- Put in underfloor heating
- Replace the double glazing with new high spec windows
- Fit a heat recovery venitlation unit
- Fit a water tank and pump to use rainwater from the roof
- Recycle greywater from the house
- Build a greenhouse
- Build a bike shed
- Turn the garden over to vegetable and fruit production
I would then feel this was a truly environmentally friendly house, ready for the uncertain future.
