Zero-Bills Strategy for a Countryside Home

Zero-Bills Strategy for a Countryside Home
Type: Cagni Williams Energy
Awards:

Nestled in an idyllic English village, this neoclassical house underwent an extensive energy retrofit to achieve a zero-bills strategy. CW Energy replaced all single glazing with vacuum glazing and insulated the external walls and roof to significantly improve thermal performance.

The property is powered by a ground source heat pump system, supported by a solar array and battery storage. This combination provides all the home’s energy needs, with surplus energy fed back to the grid. Underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation ensure optimal comfort year-round while eliminating the need for gas utilities.

This ambitious project demonstrates how existing properties can become exemplars of sustainable living. By integrating renewable energy systems and preserving the home’s heritage, CW Energy delivered a solution that aligns with modern environmental standards without compromising on comfort or style.
