1 Project name PassivHaus Retrofit - Octavia Housing Project summary PassivHaus retrofit of a three storey solid brick Victorian terraced house in a conservation area. Produce a comfortable and healthy house that requires no conventional heating system. Our focus will be on the key areas of insulation, airtightness and thermal bridging whilst we will also use innovative renewable and low energy technologies to generate heat and power on site. Heat loss and airtightness will be measured before and after the retrofit. We will install ongoing monitoring equipment in two identical properties, which will act as control houses (renovated to Decent Homes and Decent Homes plus only) Project Description Projected build start date 12 Apr 2010 Projected date of occupation 28 Feb 2011 Project stage Occupied Project location London, London, England Energy target Retrofit for the Future Build type Refurbishment Building sector Public Residential Property type Mid Terrace Low Energy Buildings Page 1
