Is it getting warmer?
After the installation of ground floor insulation and high performance triple glazing with an average U-value of 0.8W/m2K at the beginning of October, all people on site have reported the house feeling far warmer. However, the dataloggers show only a marginal and temporary increase in the internal ambient air temperatures after the fabric improvements, suggesting that the improvements in thermal comfort may be due to other factors such as increased radiant warmth (i.e. the surface of the floor and windows is no longer as cool), and a gradual drop in external temperatures.
