Friendlyengineer Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Hi All Been registered here a long time, but first time posting so I thought Id do an introduction. We are refurbing a house we have been living in for 20 years. We've completely moved out, back to brick 1850s house, and im going down the eco route. Internal wood fibre insulation onto a lime plaster base, then im actually thinking about the breathaboard system inside that if i can get any), all UFH downstairs with foamglass base and dry tile UFH build up. Wood fibre in our roof (new one has been fitted), and passivhaus rated doors where we are replacing them. Im aiming for Enerphit (without doing any calcs) for insulation and airtightness and will just see how far we get. Project managing ourselves, with a builder to do the really big stuff, who is really great but he doesnt understand insulating to Enerphit standards, which im finding difficult. Taken us 3 years so far, with another 2 or 3 to go possibly Thats us Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Welcome Mark. Insulation and airtightness has to go with condensation analysis, especially in an old house. Not that hard really, and more to do with detailing. Are the Enerphit standards much higher than modern building regulations standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
