cheekmonkey Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi all, Looking forward to getting some top tips from those that have been here already. Starting the journey to turn this old cow shed into something a little more habitable. Two areas I'll be after some advice on right away are PSTP & out letting of discharge & also starting to understand Solar in a bit more detail to get specs right. Current outline spec is SIP build / Air source underfloor / Solar / Batteries / MVHR - starting building regs & SAP side now. Have done loads of renovations before but not a ground up build using any of the new 'renewable' tech. We have to retain the original concrete frame for the central section but the rest is from scratch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If you are retaining the concrete frame have you considered icf, I know there’s a couple of people on here that have done this incorporating the frame into the inner core of the icf.
