1 Project name Redlands Project summary Deep retrofit of 1955 brick house in Devon based on EnerPHit standard. House had old gas boiler, double glazing, cavity wall insulation and c. 100mm mineral wool loft insulation. Project Description Projected build start date 15 Aug 2011 Projected date of occupation 19 Dec 2011 Project stage Occupied Project location Crediton, Devon, England Energy target EnerPHit Build type Refurbishment Building sector Private Residential Property type Detached Existing external wall construction Masonry Cavity Existing external wall additional information Brick and block cavity wall Existing party wall construction none Floor area 150 m² Page 1

Mains electricity. 2.9 kwp PV array on studio Increase glazing area to south. Reduce existing glazing area to all other elevations Natural ventilation for most of the cooling season. Daytime use of MVHR with night purging during heat waves. Raise ceiling in sitting room to raise head of patio doors. Not calculated MVHR plus natural ventilation. Existing plaster connected to ceiling membrane above first floor. Suspended timber floor replaced with plywood- joints taped and boards taped to plaster on external walls. Wall between first floor joists parged and joists taped to parging. External wall insulation. Plasterboard fillet with insulation added to first floor ceiling to minimise thermal bridge at loft insulation junction. Insulated plasterboard added to window reveals. PHPP Page 2
