Solar building study. Final report. Cockerell Grove House, Milton Keynes
The results of an energy performance assessment carried out on the Cockerell Grove house are presented. The total measured annual fuel use of 16206 kWh, or 207 kWh/m(sup 2) gross floor area, was low as was the space heating fuel use at 5762 kWh, or 74 kWh/m(sup 2) gross floor area. Solar performance resulted in a measured solar contribution of 936 kWh, or 619 kWh for a typical year, from a combination of south facing glazing and a roofspace solar collector. The house was built for 5% more than an equivalent non-solar house of the same size, built to the same insulation standards. This cost difference can be attributed largely to the roof-space solar collector. The occupants liked the levels of daylight and impression of spaciousness created by the glazing on the south of the house. The combination of roof-space collector and heat recovery unit, as configured in the Cockerell Grove House, compromised the solar performance. (author)
