Amity is a modern house, built in 2007 with an extension added in 2014 (the latter with under floor heating and now a thermally insulated flat roof).
Vicki and Philip moved in four years ago from a draughty and cold Edwardian house with the aim of making Amity as low carbon as possible, in terms of energy use. The priority was to install solar panels on the roof and an air source heat pump, so the house no longer needs a gas supply. The recent addition of a 13.5 kW battery has taken the house virtually “off grid” for the summer months. All light bulbs have been switched to LED. An electric car charging point was put in and is also publicly available (via Zapmap).
There are also veg beds, water butts and composting.
