This detached house in Ongar, Essex, is a reasonably modest design from the outside. However, the specs and scale are far from modest with a gross floor area of 320 sq. m.
As our client is aiming for passive performance on this project, we designed, supplied, and installed our highest-performing factory-insulated panel. We boosted the thermal performance by fitting an additional layer of 70mm of insulation internally, providing an impressive u-value of 0.11 W/m2K.
We also designed the joists around the MVHR system and installed an airtight membrane at the floor junctions.
We look forward to re-visiting once complete to see the result of the all-important air test!
