Hi who does ventilation calculations for a build is it in the MVHR design? Apparently it’s needed for the building regs ? any ideas

Another Thermal bridging question 🙂 how do you deal with services into the property? Such as electric , water, broadband and things like an external tap for example… trying to get a better understanding of it all thanks

Hi what’s the thoughts on these shower walls instead of conventional tiles ? I see the are some that are the whole length and height of a shower wall say 1800x 2400 , so much have some benefit having no joints etc and have special channels for corners etc . But are they any good ?

I see that there is a lot of chat about R290 being the ‘best’ for ADHP. But is that just because it can run at higher temps , so is more suited to a boiler replacement? Or is there another benefit?

thanks , and is there any type of wet UFH that is better when in screed ?

My build is about to start next month down in Devon . Having timber frame and passive principles ( still waiting on SAP but u value all round is about 0.10 walls/ roof etc and triple glazed windows/doors ). But not decided if I even need to go with UFH , which would clearly need to go onto the insulation and under the screed ? Or pop some electric mats down or those new uv mats ( just in case ?) what is the general thoughts here ?

Any chance you can draw and show what you mean please 🤗

Top hinges outwards thanks

Hi timber frame ( triple glazed Norrsken windows ) attached on outside stud work. what sort of thermal bridging detail do I need to have / consider ? Is what’s shown enough?

I don’t know but they confirmed this to me this morning with no explanation

thanks for that but I’m not very high tech so although it might be a quick job for someone I don’t really know how to do that 🤷‍♂️ if someone can do it I’d appreciate it ( can pay 😁)

Hi any recommendation for a design service near Exeter for a new build based on a passive design. Two bed timber frame high insulation, airtight . Ground floor UFH and ashp, MVHR and solar to work together is the plan

What about how to raise outside to make outside at FF? And not cause any issues with damp cause
