Deep energy retrofit of a Victorian terraced property in Camden, London. The project upgrades and extends the property to contemporary sustainable standards with extensive natural insulation, lime plaster, triple glazed windows, solar panels, MVHR, an air source heat pump and using reclaimed and local materials. All within the strict requirements of a Conservation Area. Airtightness testing after the installation of the insulation and membranes came to 0.94. This despite the awkward elements of Victorian construction. A big challenge for a small building company to achieve these results. Now occupied, recording the performance data can commence.
