1 Project name Withy Cottage Project summary Timber Frame & Straw Bale self build with thermal bridge free construction (other than door and window frames). Simple flat raft foundation on EPS. Project Description Projected build start date 24 Dec 2004 Projected date of occupation Project stage Project location Energy target Build type Building sector Property type Existing external wall construction Existing external wall additional information Existing party wall construction Occupied Hereford, Herefordshire, England other New build Private Residential Detached Other Timber with staw wall insulation and blown celulose insulation Page 1

2 Floor area 120 m² Floor area calculation method APPROX Project team Organisation Project lead Client Architect Mechanical & electrical consultant(s) Energy consultant(s) Structural engineer Quantity surveyor Other consultant Contractor Self None None None Alan Pearce None friends informal chats Self plus Mike Whitfield, Dai Rees (el) and Steve Rann (plaster) Design strategies Planned occupancy Space heating strategy Water heating strategy Fuel strategy Renewable energy generation strategy Passive solar strategy Space cooling strategy Daylighting strategy 2 people plus guests Single woodstove with domestic hot water back-boiler. Towel rail in bathroom as heat dump otherwise no radiators, secondary heaters or other heat emitters. Solar and woodstove compliment each other with very infrequent immersion heater backup. Waste wood from local sawmill and timber from on-site woodland management. LPG hob and electric oven. Disconnected after 7 years living off the grid. Emphasis on demand reduction. DIY Solar thermal DHW, minimal passive solar because of uninformed fear about overheating in lightweight building. In fact behaves like a massive building due to insulation. Controled gains, night ventilation and high levels of insulation maintain very comfortable summer temperatures (peak summer temperatures 23-24C) Not optimised. Open plan living area with light from at least 2 sides in all rooms. One skylight in office and one in kitchen/dining/living area. Emphasis on animation and effect rather than DF. Page 2

3 Ventilation strategy Airtightness strategy Strategy for minimising thermal bridges Modelling strategy Insulation strategy Other relevant retrofit strategies Other information (constraints or opportunities influencing project design or outcomes) Simple passive stack cooker hood and thru' wall MVHR in bathroom. Trickle vents in office and bedrooms. Considering MVHR retrofit. Internal structure, 9mm ply air barrier behind 100mm structure/services layer. Continuous air barrier but unaware of proper airtightness tapes at time of build. Blower door tested after completion. Floating slab on 100mm EPS with 200mm edge insulation. Structure inside the insulation with rafters and gable support outside insulation layer. However windows and doors are major thermal bridge. Basic spread sheet. EPS under slab, local straw bales for walls and blown cellulose in roof.

None except thermostat on thermal store to dump heat to bathroom tower radiator if too hot. LPG and electric oven All CFL, linear T5 or LED spots. No incandescents. All best available at time of purchase. Solar DHW Continuous layer of insulation with structure on inside. Floating floor slab with no penetrations.
