The big question – does it work? | Culbokie Passive House Diary

Culbokie Passive House Diary. Just another WordPress.com site. So what’s a “Passive House”? May 29, 2013. The big question – does it work? The structure of the house has been complete now for quite a few months – although we still don’t quite have all the insulation installed, and the house still isn’t occupied. Nevertheless we’ve been building up a rough idea of how the house seems to react in different conditions. So the lessons we’ve learnt so far are:. D I suppose the answer to the question in the ti...

Culbokie Passive House Diary. Just another WordPress.com site. So what’s a “Passive House”? Monthly Archives: December 2013. What happens when there’s a power cut? December 7, 2013. This is a question we’ve been asked quite a lot – and one we’ve been asking ourselves! The other big success was that we didn’t really notice the lack of a ventilation system, maybe just opening the door a few times to feed the hens, etc. was enough to introduce a bit of fresh air. We did, however, notice the fumes from the c...

The Passive House in Summer – and an MVHR myth busted | Culbokie Passive House Diary
https://pennyandmartin.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/the-passive-house-in-summer-and-an-mvhr-myth-busted
Culbokie Passive House Diary. Just another WordPress.com site. So what’s a “Passive House”? July 23, 2013. The Passive House in Summer – and an MVHR myth busted. We’ve been living in the house for just over a month now, which has coincided with an unusually long, settled spell of hot weather – virtually unheard-of in the Highlands, and certainly not what we had in mind when we were designing the house.

Culbokie Passive House Diary. Just another WordPress.com site. So what’s a “Passive House”? Monthly Archives: April 2014. The Passive House in Spring. April 22, 2014. Actually, it seems as if we’ve pretty much skipped spring and gone straight to summer. We had a week away, and got back in the evening on Easter Saturday to find the living room at almost 23 deg C, and the thermal store at 68 deg C! So I was interested to hear about a Passive House in Fife which was built using Warmcell insulation in the wa...

I’ve been waiting for the really cold weather to write this post, but the Passive House winter already seems to be drawing to a close, so (tempting providence? And as the pile in the log shed has diminished, when will the heating season end? But so far we’ve only used about 2/3 of the firewood store. The Passive House in Spring. Get e...

I’ve been waiting for the really cold weather to write this post, but the Passive House winter already seems to be drawing to a close, so (tempting providence? The Passive House experience has been similar. Wind and cold still have an impact on us, although far less than for most houses. Levels of direct sunlight affect us much more though. Next post →.

WC still to be fitted, and window-cill still to be re-made, but all-in-all, an elegant solution. We’ve also been making progress with the shower-room, unfortunately this involved more concrete-cutting to fit the trap in the shower-tray.
