Made one of the best decisions of my life when I renovated a 1970's bungalow to incorporate disabled access throughout and whilst doing this insulated as much as I could at the time in anticipation of our retirement. 

 

We have lived here now for a couple of years with an MVHR system. Now with a grey water system feeding loos and/or garden and a solar hot water system - presently on trial -  both run on photovoltaics.
