Henna Street Hydronic Cottage 2017

Henna Street Hydronic Cottage

This typical early century weatherboard home is an example of how hydronic heating can be easily retrofitted into any home to provide constant, allergy free heating. Although there are still areas to be renovated to improve thermal performance in this home, it shows how a staged approach can be used to move towards a sustainable home.

Features to see in this old weatherboard home are;
– Hydronic heating radiators fuelled by a gas boiler
– Heavy drapes
– LED lighting
– Original hay insulation is in the external walls from the 1930’s
– Newer walls have Earthwool (recycled glass) insulation
– Worm farm & compost
