What makes a super Eco House?
The internationally recognised standard of Passive house (Passivhaus) requires that a dwelling should use less than 15kw/h per m2 per annum space heating. Skyline out performs this standard using less than half of this amount which is approximately a 95% improvement over the energy a standard house may require for heating. There is an underfloor heating system throughout which can be powered entirely by a log fired stove or the ultra efficient air source heat pump.

To effectively and efficiently utilise excess energy from the wood burning stoves, solar panels or air source heat pump there is a 1250L stratified Thermal store.

The house produces much of its own energy, approximately 2,000KW/h per annum of electricity from the pv solar panels and 6,500 kw of hot water from the solar thermal panels.

To maintain fresh air in an air tight home there are two Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (mvhr) systems that circulate through heat exchangers to ensure that fresh air coming in to the building is pre heated with 90% efficiency.

Apart from logs for the stoves the only fuel bill is for electricity which averages at less than £1,200. P.A., including running the office and workshop with 3 phase machinery.
