Works Continue Inside

 In the space of a week the work inside has moved from an empty shell, top left. To all of the inside stud wall being created, below right. 

In the space of a two and half days all of the wood work to create the stud walls were erected. And the battening of the outer-walls to take the insulated plasterboard.

 On Friday the electricians arrived en masse. In the space of one day Rob and the team from  Trent Electricals  had completed 90% of their first fix. It seemed that miles and miles of cables has been strung around the new stud work like a spiders web!

Whilst all this was going on I was starting my part of the project, The MVHR  ( Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery) System. This weeks task is to install the insulated ducting . 

  The purpose of the system is control extraction of stale air and the introduction of fresh air to our home to minimise energy loss but insure fresh air is delivered through out. Air is extracted from the kitchen, wetroom, utility cupboard.  Fresh air is supplied to the bedrooms and living space. The air flow in and out is measured and balanced. The air flows are completely separated and filtered. The energy of the discharge air is transferred to the fresh and supposedly with an efficiency as high as 91%, I'll let you know how it works out.  Condensation from the discharged air is the main bi-product and is drained away. through the waste water drain. The product used is the Itho ECO4 continually runs 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
