“The house was purchased at the end of 2014. It required a lot of work to make it comfortable and warm, so that was the opportunity to incorporate environmental improvements to reduce its carbon footprint. It took a year to find an architect, agree the plans and get building consent. Through Muswell Hill Sustainability Group I knew about Ecodomus, a local company that specialised in environmental retrofit of buildings.
Having spent two very cold winters in the house, in March 2016 the builders moved in and I moved out! I moved back in September 2016. The house has been transformed, and as a bonus it generates as much energy as it uses and so is designated carbon neutral.” Host
