This project is exceptional in the long-standing energy efficiency and awareness of this couple (~60 years). Their passive solar home is a converted tobacco shed acquired about 50 years ago.
Super insulation is acquired by using batt insulation and 2 layers of well-sealed P2000 insulated board. Principles of passive solar are incorporated throughout the residence with concrete floors (main storey) and brick interior walls that contribute to the heat retaining materials (thermal mass).
Exceptional economy is realized by building all of his thermal pane windows by using replacement panes and many other used and second hand materials.
