This new build private house was built in the grounds of the clients existing 19th Century Home in Whirlow Sheffield. The home has three levels and is partially built into the hillside.  The client’s aspiration was for low energy home, using the latest in renewable and low energy technologies.

Our brief was to explore the use of technologies available that could be deployed in the design.  Ventilation is via heat recovery systems throughout, and heating is by underfloor heating using ground source heat pumps.  The heat pumps derive energy from a borehole, which also provides drinking water.

The low energy strategy is further complimented by a PV array, this also uses battery storage to retain electricity for deployment during periods of low generation.

This project won a CIBSE award in 2016.
