Alan Muncaster

Alan completed a major retrofit of his detached bungalow in Weymouth, Dorset. The project included better insulation, photovoltaic systems, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, battery storage, and an air source heat pump, preserving the original floor plan. The bungalow's 82 square meter area saw its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating rise from D in 2011 to A, significantly lowering imported electricity requirements.
