Solar building study. Final report. Dawbank House, Willow Park, Chorley
An energy performance assessment of the Dawbank House, which is part of a low energy housing scheme in Lancashire, indicated that the total annual fuel use was 26730 kWh of which the space heating fuel requirement was 151 kWh/m(sup 2) of gross floor area. The solar gain from the conservatory and south facing glazing can displace about 20% of the heat required from the space heating systems. The design of the house succeeded in providing a thermally comfortable and visually attractive environment. The Dawbank House was about 7% (Pound 3090) more expensive than an equivalent non-solar house. The difference is due to the conservatory which provided energy and amenity benefits and increased floorspace. Insulation levels in the Dawbank House were above those of the 1990 Building Regulations. (Author)
