EVELYN ECO HOUSE

 
About the Project      What else I would do
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.
