– habitable at end of each day if occupied• Or phased execution• Or phased execution
– Churn room by room– Bathroom and Kitchen may be fixed– Bathroom and Kitchen may be fixed– Stairs probably fixed location
• Know the final outcome before you startKnow the final outcome before you start– Don’t undo or redo anything– Know the final details– Make renewable ready, with tails built in

‘Whole House Plan’
• 80% reduction target at endIf it ’t b d i hit• If it can’t be done in one hit:– Phased/zoned approach
Ph• Phases: – Insulation first, EcoBling last
S t & Pi f E Bli i fi t h– Supports & Pipes for EcoBling in first phase• Zoned: room by room
S f d ti b– Spare room for decanting: room by room• Early services:
B t i l t d li i b f kit l t– But insulated linings, before kit, complete linings later20/06/2012 38
Whole House Replanning
• If there is an opportunity to re-plan the use of the rooms of the house take it
• Consider orientation– Consider which rooms what to be on the east,
south and westB d t t t– Bedrooms east not west
– Living rooms south to south westSi lif b th & kit h l t• Simplify bathroom & kitchen layout– Improve proximity to reduce hot water supply
distances & dead legsdistances & dead-legs• Make room for insulation at external walls20/06/2012 39
Whole house insulation
• Insulation continuity: No compromises• Thermal bridging
– Heat will find a way out of there is one– Add thermal breaks– Remove thermal brides– Wrap up thermal bridges
• Thermal bypassyp– Cavities are places for heat to escape to– Insulate all cavities– Insulate all ducts/housings/boxing in20/06/2012 42
Whole house weather tightness
• Draft lobbies on all external doors– Front, rear and side
• Internal or external?– External if possible– Internal may create a cold bridge
• Combine lobby with solar space?– Add solar gain absorbing walls and floorsg g– Add thermal mass to those walls
• Glazing to trap the heat in winterGlazing to trap the heat in winter• Ventilation top and bottom to vent in

Services & Void Insulation
• As heating demands tumble• Hot water heat losses become very• Hot water heat losses become very

Heating: Radiators
• Radiators – Existing radiators: below windows
• External Insulation: Add reflective foil panels to wall– Add reflective foil panels to wall
– Or heat up the thermal mass too much• Internal Insulation:
– Radiators come off and pipes move– Opportunity to move– To internal partitionsTo internal partitions
– But if they are well very insulated external walls it may not make much differencey
20/06/2012 48
Heating: Under floor or in-wall
• Under floor heating– Disruptive to install– Opportunity to insulate the ground floor
• In wall piped heating– Insitu pipes and plaster– Boards with pipes and skim– Less disruptive to install– Internal wall partitions, – Non-domestic: screens, furniture

Wall Insulation:
• Cavity walls: “easy to insulate”– insulation is easy but wholly inadequate
• Solid walls: “difficult to insulate”– Internal and/or external insulation– Internal insulation and drylining– External insulation and render or cladding– Not difficult, more money

Airtightness
• Dry trade:– Plasterboard and skim can be airtight– But provides cavities for air to flow around
in– Also air leaky at skirting and ceiling level
• Wet trade– Plaster has greater prospect for being
airtight• Wet and dryy
– Plaster parge coats are used before plasterboard
20/06/2012 79
Airtightness Approach
• Brown envelops wont achieve 80% reduction– Testing comes too late– Testing comes too late
• Testing should occur before finishes– Test the building fabric
• But airtightness awareness starts on day one– Design it: Specify who fixes it
Educate the trades– Educate the trades• Blower in user throughout the works that affect
the external envelop and hollow constructionsp• Every drill or cut: air in your face
– You made it, you fix it
