Cavity-walls that are already built up can NOT have cavity-wall insulation added. Cavity-walls must NOT be bridged with insulation(insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity-wall); or else moisture will transmit from the damp outer-wall, through the touching bridging insulation, and into the inner-wall; making it damp inside the building. Drastically injecting foam into the cavity-walls would stop the building breathing, resulting in drastic condensation saturation of the inner walls inside the building. Cavity-wall insulation batts(panels) can ONLY be installed from the very start of construction of the cavity-walls. If cavity-wall insulation batts are to be used, there must be a large air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the outer-walls inside the cavity-walls; this includes an air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity-wall tie drip-points(which must point downwards in the centre of the cavity Ask City & Guilds N.V.Q. (S.V.Q.) BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this.

'm a retired bricklayer. Knowing what I know now, if I were building a house for myself again, I'd build a block core filled home any day over any other type of construction. Builders can tell me all the BS they like about lightweight panels, timber frame etc etc, but you can not beat good old reinforced core filled block as long as the outer skin is correctly waterproofed. As far as I am concerned, a lot of this R value stuff is BS too, designed to sell a LOT of product.

There is this queation i have about the direction these panels radiate. Some get up to 120 degrees in matter of seconds. Does it matter if you put radiator foil on the back of these panels, otherwise does a infrared panel radiate heat to the back as well?

Electric heating is the future,but the issue is cost per kwhour and national generation capacity. Solar PV and battery storage in individual installations is the greenest way to go, but capital costs are an issue. Great presentation.

One question My EPC is definitely massively wrong The discovery of a single brick outside wall with a single glazed wooden window from the 60's that is nearly as wide as a the brick is Making this easy to spot to someone who's in the building trade visitors have even noticed it without promt or anything else Yet I have no luck getting the housing association to even look at it How can I go about claiming another EPC check without incurring the cost that should be free to me or the housing association due to the first one being fraudulent. Who can I get to investigate this and who regulates this does it stop at storma however it's spelt or is there anyone else more relivent

Oh dear, the old myth about storage heaters being cold in the evenings. Are these guys supposed to be experts? If this is happening to you, you are completely failing to understand how storage heaters work. The principal of storage heaters is that you aim to keep the temperature of your home the same, 24 hours a day. The way to do this is to keep the so-called 'output boost' dial at zero ALL THE TIME. The only dial you need to move is the input dial. If you have the input dial set right for the weather, then the heat stored overnight WILL last 16-18 hours (or whatever) until the next time the electricity comes on. Basically, the output boost ALLOWS you to let out all the heat if you want to, but if you coose to do that early in the the day, it's your own fault if there's no heat left in the evening. I have lived with the same storage heaters for 28 years. ( I think they're about 34 years old now.) I have never spent a penny for any form of maintenance on them. I have a thermometer that records min and max and it consistently tells me that my living room varies in temperature by only 1 degree C over a 24 hour period. The weather outside is getting down to -4C at night, but my storage heaters are managing just fine. And I don't find them in the least bit 'ugly'. They're no more ugly than the average central heating radiator. They're completely silent and never leak or break down or need to be serviced. What's not to like?

@@helengren9349 The leading manufacturer in the UK is Dimplex, so I think you could try googling them. I don't know why storage heaters aren't being energetically promoted by governments because they only use electricity at night. Most electric suppliers are looking for ways to get more people to spread their energy use into off-peak hours. I have two sources of electricity coming into my home: the normal 24-hours-a-day type (which is charged at a higher rate) and the type that is only available for 7 hours overnight (which is set at a much cheaper price). (Yes, I know it's the same electricity, but it comes through different wires so it can be recorded and charged for separately.) I also heat my hot water overnight with the cheap electricity, so I think it's a pretty good deal. The system is called 'Economy 7' and we've had it in the UK since the 1970s, as far as I can remember.

But the problem is the government fossil fuel industry electric companies heating and cooling companies etcetera they all would be completely screwed.. So I guarantee it wouldn't be allowed.. But my idea you'd be heating or cooling you're home for basically free... And you can leave your windows open all year round... PS I'm not making a joker using sarcasm ..im actually serious about the heating and cooling

There is NO energy crisis, there IS a GREED crisis. If there is an energy crisis, and a person for years has only used energy at minimal amounts, and the electric company knows this, so has never had to buy more for that person, then why does that person have to get extorted? Now listen, I lived in a place with storage heaters, and the full block had them, and no electric company wanted to let you swap, so everyone was stuck with British gas. I moved in, told an electric company I didn't have economy 7 and I joined a company that was much much cheaper than everyone in the block had, all because I didn't need cheaper electric while under a duvet for hours through the night. Haha, my bills were much much cheaper. I then moved to a home with gas central heating and had electric shower, electric tap in the kitchen, and soon saw U was paying for a meter in a cupboard that I used for about 2 month a year intermittently. I got the meter removed, bought smart panel heaters and they are much better than gas heating. I then saw the energy con coming and bought Tormofol far infrared rolls and hung a metre length on each wall and it's amazing. All on smart switching. The biggest tip I can give everyone is this. I bought at Lidl some rolls of window film, and for about £25 I covered my windows and every home should have their windows covered with this. The other day in Northern England, it was cold outside, but the sun was out, and wait for it,,,,,,,,,,,,my windows were 38°c, and this window film also rebounds the heat in the home back into the room. You can't tell that it's on your Windows apart from the fact you can't see in the windows from outside, and they don't look like mirrors, the just look like a window does at certain angle when the sun is out, and even a tiny bit of sun warms the windows. The infrared heat panels that sell for up to £100 can be DIY for £20-30, but much much cheaper if you buy it as a roll. The window film was a game changer in this 100 year old home. A quick note on heat pumps, if you have a small garden you can dig a hole, fill it with water and coil the pipe, and because the heat of water is stable in the winter (that's why fish don't die) the heat pump finds a source of heat. At the end of the day, most of the north of England is sitting on huge amounts of coal, yet the government would rather people sit cold? Now, I have opened my chimney breast in my living room, and bedroom, and loads of people in my neighborhood have, and the side effects of the energy con is huge clouds of smoke, just like it was when I grew up. Haha, shove that in ya pipe Greta.
