the temperature of water and supplies it to an under floor heating system. In the summer the system can be used to provide ‘free cooling’ by transferring the ‘coolth’ from the ground to the under floor pipe work system in the building.


Solar thermal energy is collected in solar thermal panels located on


top of the main house. Combines with the GSHP system to generate hot water for domestic use.


Biomass – Residual energy demands are met by using the wood fuel


resource on the site. Wood can be harvested as thinnings as part of the ongoing sustainable management of the woodland. Once seasoned, this wood fuel can be used to provide heating and hot water. Wood fuel fires are located in the main house and annexe. The stove in the annexe has a back boiler which transfers heat to a thermal store. The energy collected in the thermal store is used to heat domestic hot water as required in the annexe.


Project director Wendy Perring, previously at Allies and Morrison


Architects said the project has given the practice a great opportunity to design a building which reinforces the philosophy of the practice for contemporary sustainable architecture. "We are delighted that our clients have supported our vision throughout," she said "and this can be seen at every level of the design and construction process, even down to the reuse of material from the site such as the New Forest Douglas Fir concrete shuttering panels which have ultimately ended up being reused as the internal cladding to the workshop and garage building." The components, imagination and clever use of orientation design has


Within the building a high standard of thermal insulation and high


performance glazing systems have been provided in the fabric of the building to reduce heat losses.


Active Design Having minimised energy demands by passive measures, the


remaining energy requirements are met by utilizing renewable energy sources and low carbon technologies where practical. The building utilises renewable energy from the sun and biomass. GSHP: Thermal energy from the ground is used to improve the


efficiency of active heating via a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system. An array of ground loop pipes transfer energy collected in the ground (from the sun and rainwater) to a heat pump unit. This steps up


produced a forest retreat in every sense of the word, enabling this eco home to fit within the setting of the New Forest National Park with comparable ease
