Zetland Road
Download
as PDF A pair of Victorian semi-detached houses in Zetland Road, Manchester, received EnerPHit Plus certification in November 2018 the first in the UK to do so and they did so in style.With a keen developers eye, PHT member Ecospheric has delivered the highest energy efficiency, without compromising on sought after period features, creating an exuberant retrofit that estate agents easily appreciate. Plush interiors sit happily with minimum house bills and maximum comfort although this was not without a sizable budget.The low energy demand for space heating achieved by high levels of insulation and airtightness is supplemented with an 11kW PV installation. In combination with A+++ rated appliances further reducing demand, this means that once occupied the houses should generate more energy than they consume - and the first to receive EnerPHit Plus certification in the UK.
