So, changing the air filters on the Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation System in Cork City.
Wait until the end for outside air filter. This is after 2.5 months, with coal fires only really kicking off in October or so.

Heat pump diaries:
Seems some eejit (it was me!) Knocked off the heat pump yesterday evening by accident. It had dropped to 16.5’C by this morning on a night when it was -3’C outside! So the insulation is keeping us fairly toasty anyway.

Do you have a #renovation or #deepretrofit to show?
Here is a suggestion, I think hempcrete is perfect for many old buildings, not exclusively but especially timber frames. Just decide what should be visible, outside, inside or timber completely inside the hemp lime or hemp earth mix.

Excited for the first proper cold snap of the year to see how our newly deep retrofitted house fairs!
This will be our first winter with a heat pump. So far, it’s living up to expectations. The insulation is so improved that it’s stays at 18/19*C before the heat pump kicks in. #DeepRetroFit

Ireland has set ambitious targets, 500,000 homes retrofitted and 400,000 heat pumps installed by 2030.
But reaching these targets requires around 75,000 retrofits per year.
The real challenge isn’t the ambition, it’s delivery.

Can you see that this is a 65cm wall now with added straw insulation?
