Design strategies
| Planned occupancy | Up to 6 person occupancy (4 bedrooms) per dwelling |
|---|---|
| Space heating strategy | Air source heat pump with underfloor heating and radiators. |
| Water heating strategy | Air source heat pump with cylinder. |
| Fuel strategy | Mains electricity |
| Renewable energy strategy | Solar PV |
| Passive Solar strategy | Windows and solar gain designed to balance useful winter solar against summer overheating using PHPP. |
| Space cooling strategy | Natural ventilation |
| Daylighting strategy | Balanced window layout. |
| Ventilation strategy | Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery with additional ventilation through windows. |
| Airtightness strategy | Floor - screed. Walls - OSB. Roof - airtight membrane. Tape between junctions and joints. |
| Strategy for minimising thermal bridges | Continuous insulation around junctions.Ground floor uses low conductivity block. Windows use internal reveal insulation.Psi values calculated for floor-wall (ground floor and intermediate floor) and window junctions. |
| Modelling strategy | Whole building modelling undertaken in PHPP. |
| Insulation strategy | Floor insulation above slab to achieve 0.10 W/m2K. Insulation timber frame system to achieve 0.16 W/m2K. Insulation joists to achieve 0.09 W/m2K. |
| Other relevant retrofit strategies | |
