    Tell your builder than you are not paying him if it’s greater than three.

    That's not true at all. Having a uniform temperature in every room is the best way to have a comfortable home. And UFH (with a slab floor) and MVHR is the best, and IMHO, the only way to achieve this.

    ICF with a SIP roof is a common pair.

    you’re over thinking and over engineering the problem. You want a uniform temperature everywhere. Do you have MVHR?

    There is absolutely no need to have a gas hob or oven in 2024. The fumes alone will reduce your life expectancy.

    Once you have cooked on induction you won’t go back. The control ability is excellent and a lot better than gas. It’s a lot easier to clean.

    Your architect will have professional indemnity insurance.

    I would and have used solid Foamed Glass.

    They might look tacky, but having a screw head showing is just bad design IMHO

    That’s a great album by Supertramp

    If you’re designing a music room make sure you don’t have any parallel walls. Standing waves will be a problem.

    It's non-starter IMHO.

    I’m impressed

    It looks great, well done.

    I have DVD of a fire burning. Would you like a copy?

    I would look at using foamed glass for floor insulation, particularly if you are digging out as much of the foundation as you can and leaving the walls.

    Just say that it might whistle with square vents, a man in Dorset said they might (LOL).

    I wouldn’t want to change the airflow pattern. You ideally want a smooth path from MVHR unit to the rooms.
  21. Adrian Walker
    8 mph sounds about right, but I would need to do the maths. That’s why just going a bit faster, which you and the others weren’t, makes a huge difference.

    You need a heavy wacker plate even if you reduce the thickness. An electric one won’t really cut it. Max 150mm per layer.

    Happy to meet up for a chat Adrian Shaftesbury

    That assumes that the flow rates are correct. IMHO most MVHR systems are not commissioned properly.
  25. Adrian Walker
    Measuring/monitoring CO2 is the best way to check that your MVHR is running properly.
