Thank you so much. That was absolutely the answer I hoped for. So helpful and practical. Thank you so much for taking the time. Louise

I'd be grateful for some fairly base level advice please. We're building a four bedroom, three bathroom SIP house, close to the sea in Berwickshire. It faces NE as the sea views are amazing. How to heat the house and water and how to potentially create and store energy feels like an overwhelming subject. We won't use the house all the time until our kids have left school in 7 years time. We visited a similar house on the West coast of Scotland a few years ago and they said that they regret putting down a tiled floor as they hardly ever turn on their ASHP. It was 19 degrees in March and they hadn't\t been there for 2 months. That made us think that potentially you spend a lot of money on things you hardly ever use and that doesn't feel sensible. We'll definitely have a MVHR and a wood burning stove. We have a large garden and space for ground mounted solar. I guess we want a simple system that is tried and tested and good value. We'd be very grateful for your experience. Thanks so much

We're building a SIP construction house by the sea in Berwickshire, Scotland and feeling grateful to find this community as we have so many questions!!
