Your mission - to build Europe's most energy efficient house

[DnBrmg89]

How is that energy efficient? There are plenty of projects that I have seen that may put a little more energy into the build but have a far greater return.

Ummm...some of those spaces are a bit tight. There is far too much circulation space, it doesn't really need to be three storeys despite the daft Code for Smelly Homes. High ceilings simply allow hot air to rise, which is fine for overheating conditions, which you seem to have in spades, but not in our winters. Looks like this house will have horrible summer overheating. Ventilating like crazy with hot air drawn from outside is not a bright move. But I do like the sheltered outdoor space.

Oooh, with those intelligent arrows you have convinced me! Nice design, certainly not the ecobunker that that 'Europe's most efficient' claim would suggest...

It just shows what can be done! But is the paint environmentally friendly also??
