20.01.2022 Top 5 Energy Tips! When Designing a new home keep in mind Orientation - Face Living rooms North with large windows. Solar gains during cold winter mornings & afternoons are crucial in our climate. Slab type - Choose polystyrene Waffle Pods to add a thermal barrier from the ground. Immediately gain 1/2 star in your rating over a Raft slab. Windows - These are the weakest building element to your home. Go for Double Glazing especially large glazed & South facing windo...ws as a minimum. Insulation - Dont skimp on your Batts and choose a high rated R value. Add batts around Bathrooms & Laundrys for a better rating & reduce the noise. Solar Panels - PV solar systems are great value for money. Run Cooling, Pool Pumps, Dishwahers and anything that sucks the power during the middle of the day!

18.01.2022 Winters coming and theres nothing better than thawing out in front of a fireplace! Would a freestanding logfire work nice in that corner?
