Birmingham Green Doors: Exciting whole-house, fabric-first energy saving makeover! 

The Event

The Good Work Coop – a recently formed cooperative of freelancers working on providing energy efficiency advice and support, are running a project called ‘Birmingham Green Doors’.

This project aims to showcase energy efficient homes in Birmingham and the West Midlands. They do this through small group study visits hosted by people who have made energy saving improvements to their homes.

Are you interested in making homes more energy efficient?

Then join Birmingham Green Doors to see a whole-house, fabric-first energy saving makeover!

You’ll be able to see:

• Wood fibre insulation: a sustainable alternative to plastic-based insulation products, for improved moisture performanc.
• The use of Hempcrete: a sustainable, hemp-based material that has lower embodied carbon than concrete to provide insulation, depth and texture.
• The use of airtightness membranes (Pro Clima).
• Lime plaster internal finish to walls: chosen because this is an older house of traditional build- an air source heat pump – new triple-glazed windows, aligned with wall insulation to achieve a continuous layer of insulation and airtightness; these are specialist sash windows to comply with the requirements of the conservation area where the house is located – a clay floor- air tightness testing.

Some taster photos can be found here.
