Well - as one of the owners, I can assure you I think it was worth it! Yes the solid wall insulation was expensive, but as well as saving around 30% of our heating energy it has also resolved damp and condensation problems. If you're interested, we give more details on costs at: climatex.org/users/tina/blog.
@lookingforthemeaning How do you value painting your bedroom, do you do a cost benefit analysis on the paint colour, cost and your expected happiness? People value things in different ways, some people are prepared to pay lots of money for a listed house with a double garage and an amazing view, others for a house that makes them happy with good thermal comfort, it is worth it for each of them. It is all about priorities and what you value, some may say about ethics too.
I think this is future all of us should expect! And it will come faster then we think!
