Case Study: Eco-Refurb of a complete terrace house

  Previous page Next page
A terraced house in Otley

This is the first part of a continuing project to refurbish a 100 year old terraced property in West Yorkshire England.

This type of house is well known for being built when standards for insulation, air tightness and energy efficiency were very low.
  .
  .  
.   It is a considerable challenge to retro-fit energy efficiency measures to this type of house ...

...and so the new owners asked the SURE Energy Group, working in Wharfedale West Yorkshire, to give them advice and ideas about what has worked with similar houses in the locality.
  .  
SURE is creating a video record of this process and these can be viewed on YouTube. Future episodes will show how the work is progressing.

The intention is to inform and inspire people to tackle major energy efficiency works in their own homes. This is good for reducing their energy bills and for helping to reduce the likelihood of runaway climate change..
