Join us as we share Simon’s incredible story of how he turned a run-down 1950s bungalow into an energy-efficient home using innovative technologies, including infrared heating, solar PV, battery, and a Mixergy water heater, together with a sustainable mindset. Simon outlines how his goal was to achieve EnerPhit standard, which focuses more on refurbished projects, working to reduce heat loss and improve insulation and airtightness. Watch as Simon talks through the whole process of achieving EnerPhit standard and why he decided to choose Herschel Infrared for his sustainable heating solution as opposed to a heat pump system.
00:00 Background
00:25 EnerPhit standards
01:21 Difference between EnerPhit and Passive House
02:15 Challenges with heat pumps
04:00 Cost comparison heat pumps vs IR + PV + Battery
05:50 Octopus Energy Night Tariff
06:22 Solar PV and battery storage
07:28 Benefits of infrared heating
10:17 Monitoring energy use
A heat pump-based system was ruled out due to the costs and associated practicalities for his project. Simon has created a very well-insulated home and, for him, an air source heat pump would mean spending a lot of money on something you’re hoping will not be used very much. Instead, Simon allocated his budget to installing infrared heating plus a complete solar panel and battery system, for a similar cost. Find out how Simon uses solar, and overnight tariffs to charge his batteries, to avoid drawing from the grid during the day at all, and how he is looking to maximise the controllability that his infrared heaters offer him.
This fantastic project is a perfect example of how older buildings can be retrofit to improve insulation and minimise energy consumption. Simon has worked with the existing structure of the bungalow (1950ft² internal floor area), instead of knocking it down and starting from scratch, recognising the environmental impact of demolishing and rebuilding.
If you are looking for a sustainable heating solution for your project, please contact our Sales team at [email protected] who will be happy to talk through the benefits of infrared and how it can work for your project.
