design and install the MVHR ducting and unit in this 1960&#8217;s Cambridgeshire home that they were extending and renovating to meet the Passivhaus Enerphit standard.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s fair to say that the ducting is not the most aesthetically attractive feature of an MVHR system, so creating innovative solutions on how we might hide the various components within the building&#8217;s internal framework is very much a part of our specialist installation service.<\/p><p>Where possible, we prefer to use rigid steel ducting throughout for its strength and durability, but in tight spaces such as those that present in older premises with less space between the wall joists, we will use semi rigid ducting for those sections, adjoining them to rigid ducting where it will fit.<\/p><p>The unit itself, a Ubbink MVHR was to be located inside the bespoke kitchen units, so we worked with the designer, putting forward our knowledge and experience in building passivhaus homes, so that we could

The architecture\u00a0 was such that Lindab rigid steel ductwork could be arranged in a branch network throughout the two storey part of the home, with the ducting completely hidden within the floor joists.<\/p><p>On the single storey section, bearing in mind the head height of the room space, we installed a semi rigid ductwork system so that it would fit neatly below the airtight layer, totally concealed within the ceiling.<\/p><p>We used an Ubbink Ublfux Passivhaus MVHR unit for superb filtration and performance.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51ec3ab elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"51ec3ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-quote-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b71878 elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"2b71878\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 29-11-2023 *\/\n.elementor-testimonial-wrapper{overflow:hidden;text-align:center}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-content{font-size:1.3em;margin-bottom:20px}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-name{line-height:1.5;display:block}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-job{font-size:.85em;display:block}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta{width:100%;line-height:1}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta-inner{display:inline-block}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta .elementor-testimonial-details,.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta .elementor-testimonial-image{display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta .elementor-testimonial-image img{width:60px;height:60px;border-radius:50%;-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover;max-width:none}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta.elementor-testimonial-image-position-aside .elementor-testimonial-image{padding-right:15px}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta.elementor-testimonial-image-position-aside .elementor-testimonial-details{text-align:left}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta.elementor-testimonial-image-position-top .elementor-testimonial-details,.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta.elementor-testimonial-image-position-top .elementor-testimonial-image{display:block}.elementor-testimonial-wrapper .elementor-testimonial-meta.elementor-testimonial-image-position-top .elementor-testimonial-image{margin-bottom:20px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">\"The end-to-end service provided by Mango Projects was excellent.

project enabled us to evaluate the project as a whole and make a few minor alterations to the build structure that would allow us to make best of the limited space between the wall joists. This enabled us to conceal most of the ductwork within the walls. In order to do this, we created something of a hybrid system, with rigid steel Lindab ducting on a branch layout at the initial install point with small 6 point air manifolds to distribute the air into each room of the home vial semi rigid ductwork to fit into the wall cavity space.<\/p>\n<p>We used Comfopipe + for the intake and exhaust ducts to the outside of the building, which provides 43 mm additional insulation to ensure no heat supply to the inside of the building escapes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0db76f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0db76f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mvhr-UNIT-878x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-920\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mvhr-UNIT-878x1024.jpg 878w, https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mvhr-UNIT-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mvhr-UNIT-768x896.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mvhr-UNIT-1317x1536.jpg 1317w, https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mvhr-UNIT-1755x2048.jpg 1755w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Ubbink Ublflux MVHR unit, decorated with magnetic alphabet <br \/>characters by the younger family members!<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-505dd13 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"505dd13\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbff725 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dbff725\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Passivhaus Self Build Projects<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-430e944 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"430e944\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We have included a few of our past projects (of several) to have achieved Passivhaus and Passivhaus Plus accreditation to demonstrate our vast experience and expertise in passivhaus principles, and how we have been at the very forefront ultra low energy build innovation in the UK since the mid 1990&#8217;s<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7f3a2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f7f3a2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2018<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85b2f05 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"85b2f05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/chiefsfarm.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-733\" alt=\"Passivhaus certified Chiefs Farm in Essex\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/chiefsfarm.png 1000w, https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/chiefsfarm-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/mango-projects.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/chiefsfarm-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h2 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Chief's Farm, Essex<\/h2><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\"> <h4>Awarded Passivhaus Accreditation 2018<\/a> <\/h4> \n<h5>Peter Smithdale\nConstructive individuals<\/h5>Foundation system, timber frame and MVHR system designed and installed by Touchwood Homes Ltd.

Its construction has been built around Touchwood Homes pre-cut I-beam timber frame structure, with 300mm super-density Warmcel cellulous fibre insulation filling the cavity to the walls, and 350mm filling to the roof. Timber glulam ridge-beams allowed for the first floor ceilings to be vaulted allowing extra light through the windows and creating a feeling of spaciousness to the upstairs.<\/p><p>The home is set on a 400mm EPS slab foundation to complete the insulated layer, with the air-tight layer being made up of our rigid TG fibre board external air-tight system. These factors combined resulted in an air-tightness level of 0.2 ACH!<\/p><p><strong>An air sourced heat pump operates both under floor heating system to provide heating and cooling to each of the bedrooms from a fan coil unit in the loft, which also controls the water heating in an unvented cylinder unit.<\/strong> Roof mounted PV panels provide the bulk of the home\u2019s everyday electrical needs, with future plans to install a Telsa powerwall unit, which would result in the house being largely off\u00a0 of the national grid.<\/p><p><strong>Performance<\/strong><br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The home has been occupied by a young family of four for one whole year, and in that time the electricity\u00a0usage has been approx. 6000kWhrs at a cost of \u00a3750.<\/p><p>Total generation\u00a0from\u00a0the PV system was 10500kWhrs over the same period, generating approximately \u00a3700.00\u00a0from\u00a0FIT payments.<\/p><p>\u00a0So effectively the house costs just \u00a350 per year to run!<\/p><p>The efficiency of the super-dense insulation and air-tightness of the build means that the heating system is only required during the winter months, and operates for just a few hours per day at 25 degrees Celsius \u00a0to maintain a pleasant house temperature of 21 degrees.<\/p><p>The comfort of living in this environment has to be experienced! Seven \u2013 eight tons of super density Warmcel insulation material creates a very stable internal temperature, and also eliminates any noise from outside, so creating a very calm internal environment.<\/p><p><strong>Comments<\/strong><br \/>\u00a0<br \/>&#8216;Our new home has exceeded our expectations. It is always warm and draft free, which is in complete contrast to some of the homes we have lived in! Its great place for us to raise our young family, and a huge bonus not have to worry about ever- increasing energy prices.

A key driver was that the design should be contextually appropriate to the village setting within the Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.<\/p><p>Following the bitter winter, having had to pay huge domestic oil bills, they decided their new house should have low energy requirements. Lisa, inspired by her father\u2019s visit to a low energy house that used the principle of recovered heat back in the 1980s, and already familiar with the Code for Sustainable Homes wanted a solution that they could trust would work reliably. After researching Passivhaus principles, they decided that this system would guarantee a home which would provide thermal performance and comfort, with very low energy requirements.<\/p><p>The simple plan and envelope of the house suited the Passivhaus approach and an initial review of the design by Brooks Devlin confirmed that achieving Passivhaus standard was possible. A visit to the Ecobuild show in London reviewing whole house solutions introduced the Jacksons to Touchwood Homes, an English Company who create bespoke air tight homes using structural timber I beams.<\/p><p>Touchwood\u2019s team of Architect Peter Smithdale (Constructive Individuals) and Energy Consultant Roderick Williams (Williams Energy) were commissioned to complete the passivhaus planning package (PHPP) to ensure the house meets the criteria.<\/p><p>A revised planning application was submitted to deal with super insulation and revised glazing arrangements to achieve the correct levels of solar gain.<\/p><p>The house is performing exactly as predicted and is consistently a comfortable 20\/21 degrees with no heating. The Jacksons are delighted to have achieved an A rated EPC and are expecting confirmation of passivhaus certification very soon.<\/p><h4>Barn \u2013 Now<\/h4><p>The Jacksons moved in to their new home March 2013 just before the unseasonably cold Easter. Their experience so far is excellent.<\/p><p>Living in a Passivhaus is very comfortable, it is naturally light with large areas of glazing to the south. The temperature is consistent, there are no draughts or cold spots, the air is fresh and the house is quiet.
