‘The existing flank and new rear walls were also insulated externally and then rendered,’ says Wilson. ‘As we achieved a very high level of air tightness, we installed a MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system, which filters the incoming air and preheats it in cold weather. A cooling loop runs through the fishponds, acting in reverse to pre-cool the air in the summer. Solar heating panels supply pre-heated water to a combined tank and boiler. This provides the majority of the hot water demand and powers the underfloor heating’.
