  • I was actually thinking recently about doing some kind of case study / analysis on Soul's house, to see whether it's unusual or typical (of decent quality new builds). A new Building Regulation - Part O for Overheating - has come in since it was built though.

    It's a big shift for people to take overheating seriously in homes. Passivhaus requires low energy consumption for both space heating and cooling so takes into consideration overheating. Enerphit (the equivalent for retrofit) is quite difficult to achieve.

  • I'm game if you're serious :-D

    Ours has a very high air tightness rating as I guess most new builds do and it just means that heat builds up and up and up. Couple that with being always in the sun - no other houses or trees blocking the house - and it's really fucking warm.
