This tour is part of the Open Eco Homes' series of online tours detailing inspiring Cambridge-area new-builds and retrofits.
The Open Eco Homes Cambridge Festival is running from 14 Sept - 20 October and everyone is welcome.
Mark Brinkley, a self-builder (40 years) and author of the best selling Housebuilder Bible (25 years) will talk and give a virtual tour of his inspiring low-energy home.
Choices were constrained by budget and a narrow site, making for a challenging design for the team, including Mole Architects. The result is a beautiful, low-energy home. Some of its features are: structural insulated panels (SIPs) for an exact, well-insulated build / triple glazing with low G glass to avoid summer overheating / mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) for filtered, warm fresh air /2 kW PV system with iBoost to switch any excess electricity to hot water heating /Low Energy Building Standard – “Passivhaus-lite” /louvered cedar wall cladding and beautiful carpentry.
In this online tour, Mark discusses the choices and practicalities of a modern, sustainable self-build home.
