Brief Description:
The project aimed to retrofit a family home with Earth Wool insulation, enhancing its solar-passive design. By focusing on strategic insulation placement, the goal was to maximise the home’s natural heating and cooling capabilities, reducing reliance on external energy sources.
Issues On Project:
Adapting insulation to complement the home’s existing solar-passive features without obstructing natural light sources posed a challenge, requiring careful planning and execution.
Advantages:
This approach significantly improved the home’s thermal efficiency, leading to reduced energy costs and a more comfortable living environment year-round. The project also served as an excellent example of how modern insulation can enhance solar-passive designs.
Project Summary:
The Solar-Passive Family Home Insulation Upgrade stands as a model for integrating high-performance insulation with environmentally friendly design principles, showcasing the benefits of sustainable living.
