Im going passive and my glazing orientation is south south west with few windows on North....what is the internal massive heat store you speak of or would recommend?
I personally have had enough of my life living in draughty houses. I built a house recently in the eco-village in Cloughjordan using Durisol blocks - they provide high internal heat store in the internal concrete layer, while providing external insualtion "within the block" so to speak. After that, draughtproofing is down to detail.
There are tests pending, but it is expected that the U value will be [FONT="]0.19W/m2KWhat u-value would one expect from these insulated blocks?
is that so? or is it a case that it has just not been tried yet?You do know that it is possible to integrate solar collectors, stoves and heat pumps with the MVHR system, which would save money on underfloor hating and radiators. This is the situation for passive houses.
+1Make sure you calculate the heat load of the building using PHPP or DEAP
