    A key project driver for the client is the reduction
    of energy consumption and reference will be made to Passivhaus
    practice. Although the full Passivhaus standard cannot be achieved in
    an older property of this kind, the scope of works will include
    upgrading of all windows, external insulation to side and rear walls,
    reduction of air leakage, introduction of energy efficient mechanical
    ventilation with heat recovery. The extension will be designed to
    achieve very good levels of thermal insulation and airtightness. The
    large southern facing windows will contribute to reduced energy use
    through passive solar gain.

    not sure how much this would have cost. new mass alone £60k finished? then triple glazing throughout, adding clerestories to basement level at front, zinc roof... the mind boggles
