Northover Road, Henbury Hill

This home is a three storey townhouse built during the 1960's. The design and construction of the home in Henbury Hill had thermal weak spots and lots of opportunity for retrofitting and since undertaking a thermal study of the home the following measures have been taken: 

• Insulated garage walls
• Solar hot water system
• Solar photo voltaic electricity
• Acrylic secondary glazing to produce triple glazed windows
• Internal wall insulation
• Curtains installed using best-practice guidance from University of Saltford
• Effective loft-hatch insulation
• Soil pipe draught proofing 
• Small scale battery power
• Insulation of the cold concrete ground floor with cork and fiberboard
