Are you planning work on your house to make it more energy efficient and sustainable? Is the builder getting ready to start and you’re overwhelmed by questions? Do you need help understanding the language and process of a renovation? Judith was in exactly that position when work began on her 1901 Victorian end of terrace house. Her determination to be eco-friendly and make the house more energy efficient clashed with everyday building practice, requiring more project planning and active involvement than expected. It was a steep learning curve, but she came out of the experience with a much wider understanding, not to mention a sustainable house that saves 75% of previous energy usage and an EPC rating that jumped from D to B. The challenge of finding her way through competing online information inspired her to write the book she needed, so others can learn from her experience and her mistakes. Always good at asking for help, Judith has been supported throughout by an eco-informed architect. The end result is a clear, concise lay persons summary of the retrofit / renovation process.
