Retrofit for the Future: Coach Road

aim: The Technology Strategy Board funded the Retrofit for the Future (RftF) programme with the intention of refurbishing homes to achieve an 80% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. scope: Each house types was chosen because of their relevance at both a regional and national level. Each design adopted a fabric first methodology using the quality assurance tools and mechanisms associated with Passivhaus design. Many RftF projects Retrofitted just one home for the available capital. In this case it was possible to refurbish two homes within the same budget. To achieve this a highly integrative design strategy was adopted which enabled the maximum value to be derived from each chain of decisions. measures: Super insulation Minimisation of thermal bridging Airtightness Ventilation heat recovery Design Space Heating Demand: 39 kWh/m2/a Design Primary Energy Demand: 100 kWh/m2/a monitoring: Pre-Retrofit Air Leakage: 11.9 m3/h/m2 (@50pa Post Retrofit Air Leakage: 0.94 m3/h/m2@50pa.
