The refurbishment of Barons Down Road, an 88m2 three-bedroom 1960’s-built terraced house in Lewes, is remarkable for having been independently verified as having a carbon footprint in use of around 0.4 tonnes of carbon per year – that is about 90% lower than the national average. The project was awarded an ‘A’ rating energy performance. The headline achievement of this eco-retrofit is that for around £49K incl. VAT + £7K for the solar panels (circa 2011) the house has been made virtually carbon neutral. The project was awarded an AJ Retrofit Award in 2013.
