Hydrogen power is a large part of net-zero energy plans – but is it really cleaner than fossil fuels? And will it ever be economically viable?

One of our clients latest projects- What a great conversion of an existing agricultural barn. Clearly not finished but you only need to look at the clients website to see how good the finished product will be https://www.stuartbarr.co.uk/

Will post pictures of finished project in near future

We were asked to complete the energy calculations for this conversion of an office into two flats. It has only just been completed and has already been sold. I think it is fair to say Covid 19 has not affected the residential market so far

Keith Day Architects is another company we work with on a regular basis. This particular project was for a client who had it built for his own occupation. Specification included Air Source Heat Pump, photovoltaic panels and high levels of insulation. Passing Part L with this specification was relatively easy and the house will be economical to run as a result.

This shows that if built in the right way planning permission is nor required for that new home office or garden retreat. If heated it will be subject to Building Control Compliance but this should not be as difficult as a new dwelling. Give us a call if you want more details

Did you know?....
You can build a single storey detached building within the curtilage of your home without planning permission subject to certain criteria.
It must be behind the front of your house, it must be no more than 2.5m high at the eaves, 2,5m high if it is within 2m of your boundary, it must be no more than 3m high if it has a single slope roof or 4m high with a ridged roof, and have a maximum floor area of 10m2 IF it is more than 20m from your house. The resulting building can only be used for a purpose incidental to the use of the dwelling - ie a swimming pool, hobby room, etc, but NOT as sleeping accommodation or a self contained annexe.
In the past, we have designed a detached enclosed swimming pool in a clients rear garden.
Get in touch if you have space for an additional building such as a home office. Photo from pod-space.co.uk

I am pleased to say MH Energy Consultants acted as Energy Consultants for this project. The choice of materials and designs was fairly traditional, but the clever use of these materials and contrasting colour result in striking buildings which I think will look great for many years to come

This is something which has been on Government Agenda for a few years. Recent events may have sidelined it for a while, but I think the days of gas boilers (certainty in new build construction) are numbered. In our experience more new build properties are already being constructed with Air Source Heat Pumps, which seems to be the most sensible option at the current time.

2025 will allegedly see new gas boiler installations being phased out in an effort by Gov't to save fossil fuels and reduce emissions etc. What do you see as being a viable alternative for new houses, and more importantly, to retrofit in our existing housing stock when current gas boilers reach the end of their lifespan?
