Wynford is a four bedroom, three storey detached house built in 2011, constructed of ICF (insulating concrete formwork), with further insulation that makes this property very thermally efficient. EPC rating is A 93. A 4000L tank captures rainwater which is used to flush toilets and supply the washing machine. Solar photovoltaics, solar thermal, a woodburning stove and air source heat pump provide space heating, hot water and electricity. To maintain the high thermal efficiency and air tightness of the building a whole house ventilation system is used to provide fresh air.
The “Big Green Weekend” Event, which is being run by the New Forest National Park Authority, aims to reduce carbon emissions in the area. People can visit a number of customised properties throughout the Big Green Weekend.
There will be a chance to find out about a range of energy saving measures, including solar panels, efficient lighting, wood burning stoves and rainwater harvesting.
Entry to all the houses is free and no booking is required, with home-owners on hand to answer any questions on the pros and cons of their property’s environmentally friendly features.
Milford participants, Sue and Chris will be happy to talk about their experience with energy conservation measures including Air Sourced Heat Pump, solar thermal panels, photo-voltaic panels, rainwater harvesting and energy efficient design.
