Cambridge Carbon Footprint

In-person tour of this  1990's Cambridge terrace made fit for 21st Century with an Air Source Heat Pump, Solar PV and battery storage system

Chris and Linda moved into the house in 2015, when their kids were secondary school age, but are now empty nesters. A professional couple working in tech and academic research, they consider global heating to be exactly what the scientists call it - an emergency. When there’s an emergency you change how you do things and what you prioritise.  So, when their old gas boiler sprang a leak that didn’t end its life immediately but would have led to its demise within a year, they decided to come off gas. An air-source heat pump was the only alternative option for them. Chris says “the aim was to electrify everything, reduce our carbon footprint, and generate as much of our own energy as we could. We did a lot of research and found the Cambridge Transition Energy Group to be a great resource for information and advice.”  Key Features of this home:<ul><li>3kw rooftop solar  </li><li>4 PylonTech US2000c (2.4kWh) batteries </li><li>7 KW Air Source Heat Pump  </li><li>Electric cabling for PV, heat pump and (not yet installed) induction hob  </li><li>New hot water tank  </li><li>New radiators  </li><li>Weather compensating thermostat  </li><li>Integration with Havenwise  </li><li>OVO Heat Pump Plus tariff  </li><li>Plug-in hybrid car </li></ul> Tour details1 hour in-person tours with a maximum of 8 people per tour, running:Sat 25th November 11:00, 13:00, 15:00Bookers will be sent location details in reminder emails.
