Off-grid living with hybrid heating
improved to 0.33W/m2 Energy saving refurbishment with Remmers
A listed 19th century former Schoolhouse was renovated and extended to create a new energy effi- cient residential family home. Due to the build up of condensation behind conventional insulation when applied to single leaf construction, it became apparent that a “breathable insulation system” would be required.

Creating the ideal property is about more than the design alone. Living a greener, cleaner lifestyle can be just as important as the fixtures and fittings that will create your dream home. Calor has teamed up with renewable energy specialist Daikin to provide an award-winning hybrid system, combining an air-to-water heat pump with a condensing combi boiler fuelled by LPG. This gives you the best of both worlds; the use of the outside air as a renewable energy source together with a dependable, on-site gas supply – to provide reliable heating and hot water tailored to your home’s demands, however large or small. But sustainability isn’t the only benefit. Hybrid systems are designed to save you money too. You can input your energy tariff and the system will calculate the most efficient mode to deliver the lowest running costs. This could save you up to 35 per cent on your
gas bills compared to using a standard boiler and could cut your CO2 emissions by as much half; especially important for high-performing eco build properties. For more information on how Calor can help you live a greener, off-grid lifestyle with a hybrid system visit the website.
