I've just had a quick look and can't find the map I saw in September. There might be more now. Nevermind wrong forum, I'm very interested in that! I'm just doing a gable ended loft conversion with a cold roof, was planning on doing insulated render

Shouldn't really comment without knowing the full/specific details but the architect should provide drawings/construction specification showing the proposed construction details for building regulations approval. I would ask the architect to clarify the proposed roof and external wall construction details. ps the architect in this case is probably referring to it being a cold pitched roof where the insulation is between and under the rafters as opposed to a warm pitched roof where the insulation is between and over the rafters. Whichever it is the sloping ceilings in a loft conversion obviously have to be insulated. Last edited by svenrico; 16-01-21 at 06:40 PM. |

Re: Electric Vehicles
Looking at gridwatch UK website - the wind turbines have contributed hardly anything to grid since last Friday, round about 2%. Where is all the carbon zero energy gonna come from to power the expensive leccy vehicles - what a way to run a country !

Re: Electric Vehicles
What about the solar farms SV? Its been cold but great big sunny blue skies! But yes, it is a little precarious relying on the elements. I wonder if the Fusion vision will ever become a reality.

Re: Electric Vehicles
Nothing more than 5% of grid requirements from wind turbines since Friday 10th April, Solar has improved and reaches above 20% for about 8 hours a day. but without a cloud in the sky from dawn to dusk that is to be expected. Still almost totally reliant on gas and nuclear for most of our electricity supply - bring on the all electric houses and all electric cars.....
