The Challenge
The owners of Brookside Farm faced the significant challenge of modernising a property that completely lacked central heating, requiring a comprehensive energy solution from scratch while incorporating renewable energy generation.
-
No Existing Central Heating
Inadequate insulation throughout the property was causing significant heat loss and compromising energy efficiency. -
Insufficient Ventilation
Poor ventilation was causing air quality concerns and potential condensation issues throughout the property. -
Outdated Heating System
The existing heating system had high energy consumption and was failing to provide efficient, consistent heating. -
No Renewable Energy
The property lacked any renewable energy generation capabilities, missing opportunities for clean energy and cost savings. -
Regulatory Compliance
The need to integrate multiple technologies while maintaining full building regulation compliance and certification.
