Ground Floor Plan

Floor Plan

Photo-Voltaic solar panels
6kw photo-voltaic solar panels cover an entire pitch of the main roof. The panels have been sized to generate sufficient electricity to power the building's ground source heat pump, lighting and general 240v power consumption. With its generation and export meters, the property is eligible to obtain revenue from feed-in-tariff. An AC DC converter ( by Fronius) is located on the first floor.
Solar thermal hot water (first stage)
A Veissman solar collector (3m sq) is mounted on the gable end of the villa. Sized to provide the first stage of hot water production, its vacuum tubes use even minimal sunlight to heat mains cold water to around 20-25C. From the storage vessel, the pre-heated water is passed through the ground source heat pump to generate hot water of over 45C.
Ground Source Heat Pump
Two 70m boreholes have been augured vertically into the ground to house flow and return loop within which brine is circulated extracting heat from the ground. The small heat differential between the flow and return of the loop is compressed by a NIBE Fighter heat pump in a reverse of the refrigeration cycle to provide substantially greater heat gains. The NIBE Fighter provides hot water for the underfloor heating system and also the second stage of domestic hot water production.
Underfloor heating
The entire ground floor of the villa is heated by an underfloor heating system. The system is split into two zones covering the bedrooms and wet room. Heat is controlled simply by a timelock and thermostat so that it is as user- friendly as possible, upstairs, heating is provided by stylish Bisque decorative panel radiators mounted vertically for aesthetic effect, each with a Thermostatic Radiator Valve.
Exceptional thermal performance
The property benefits from exceptional thermal performance achieved through high levels of insulation, triple glazing, extreme levels of air-tightness and a ventilation system that recovers heat in colder months.
