Transcript

00:00I'm Ciaran McCarthy, and I've been working as a building engineer for nearly 30 years.

00:07I get asked all the time, how do I save money on energy costs?

00:12Well, retrofitting is all over the news lately, and in this series I'm travelling around Ireland

00:18checking out homes that are getting energy upgrades.

00:21That dark blue is the coldest.

00:23This is typically what I'd expect to see in an old house.

00:26With prices only going up and the planet under pressure, more and more people are saving money and energy in their homes by taking on the Retrofit Challenge.

00:36I'll be showing you what's actually doable and what kind of grants are out there to help.

00:41From heat pumps to HVAC, I'll break down the technical jargon and make sense of all the retrofit lingo so it's easy to follow.

00:48You're just bamboozled with all the decisions that need to be made.

00:51So, come with me as we retrofit Ireland and discover how you can reduce your energy costs.

00:59This is Heat My Home.

01:01Today, I'm on my way to Dublin to meet with Ashley Cortez and his husband, Miles Kenny, who have been living in this beautiful 19th century end-of-terrace house, which they bought in 2020.

01:16They plan on carrying out a full renovation of their home, aiming to raise its BER rating from a chilly E1 to a toasty A3, with the help of an extensive retrofit process.

01:30Due to the age of the property, there's a lot of work to be done, but Miles has known this since day one.

01:35We've been looking for a property for a couple of years.

01:41Forever.

01:42But, yeah, we really fell in love with the volume and the space we had in this place.

01:46We knew when we bought it, there was a lot of work that needed to be done.

01:49An old building like this, we knew it would need renovation at some stage.

01:53And we were looking for a bit of a project.

01:55Not sure we were looking for as big a project as this actually turned out to be, but we were looking for something to kind of do a rupper.

02:02The heating system is fine, it'll heat it up, but once you turn off the heating, that's it.

02:08It doesn't, we don't, so basically the heating needs to be on all the time.

02:13All the external walls are having internal insulation.

02:16We're changing out the gas boiler heating system for a air-to-water heat pump.

02:23We're also getting the attic insulation complete.

02:25We're doing a full upgrade of the windows and doors.

02:28And that's pretty much the energy upgrades.

02:29Looking forward to it being finished.

02:32I'm not entirely sure I'm looking forward to the middle bit where we have to get in.

02:38But look, it has to be done, so let's get on with it.

02:42To be honest, I can just see myself sucking in and then just like get the work done and yeah.

02:47As I approach the house, I can see straight away that it's in great condition for a property of its age.

02:57Maintaining the character of a Victorian era building can be a full-time job and a drain on resources.

03:03So it's great to see Miles and Ashley have really invested in its upkeep.

03:10What an amazing house.

03:12She's a wonderful Irish.

03:13Old house.

03:14I think built in 1860 as far as we can see.

03:18And I suppose the benefit of living in the house before you start renovating it is that you get to understand all the ups and downs of the house.

03:25It's south-facing property, so we get a huge amount of sunlight coming in the windows.

03:29So if we'd launch straight into it, we probably wouldn't have understood exactly how big a feature that is of the house.

03:35So yeah, no, we're happy that we took our time and, you know, understood the property before we started any work.

03:41Will you show me around and give me an overview of what's going to happen inside?

03:45For sure, yes.

03:46Come this way.

03:47Great.

03:50Wow.

03:50The first thing you're drawn to is the house, the ceilings, isn't it?

03:53Yeah, they're huge.

03:54They're about 13 feet.

03:56It's great character straight away.

03:58You're trying to keep as much charm but obviously bring the energy efficiency wheel.

04:01Yes.

04:02Yeah, we want to keep this look, that entrance hall as it is, but at the same time, warm it up.

04:09Wow.

04:09Another fabulous room with high ceilings and great views out of the locality as well.

04:14What are you doing in this room now, tell me?

04:16These are external walls, so we need to dry line.

04:19We need to put the internal wall insulation on all these walls.

04:22Some older homes can lose heat through solid walls, making them cold, drafty and expensive to keep warm.

04:29An option is internal wall insulation, which adds an insulating layer to the inside of exterior walls, helping keep warmth in and cold out.

04:38It's especially useful in some period properties where external insulation isn't practical and may not be allowed.

04:45It can improve energy efficiency and reduce heating bills without changing the home's external appearance or character.

04:52And tell me about the windows. Do you hear much road noise at the moment, like kind of during the week with the existing windows?

05:02Yes, it's a busy street actually, so from the buses and all of the cars, so it would be great to get these windows fixed up.

05:09This is currently a bedroom. Is it staying a bedroom? What's your future plan with this room?

05:15No, this will become the living room. So we'll come in the front door and come straight into this room.

05:20We want to get rid of the fireplace here. So rather than just keeping it as an open fire itself, we need to keep the air tightness of a stove unit.

05:29The cost of a wood burning, our pellet stove isn't covered by grants, but the benefit of a stove is that it's a sealed appliance.

05:38Typically, the air for the fire is drawn from the outside, so the room heat is not being sucked in by the stove.

05:44They are much more efficient compared to an open fire, with around 80% of the heat generated being emitted to the room.

05:51They also reduce heat loss in the house because eliminating the open chimney reduces warm air escaping.

05:59I've had a good look at the current setup of their home, and I want to show Myles and Ashley some of the trouble spots that are causing most of their heat loss.

06:10What I have here is a thermal imaging camera. It'll be good to see what the house is like before, making all this deep retrofit work.

06:17We can have another look again afterwards. So like you have an external wall here, and it's all freezing.

06:21You can see by the blue there, so like it's all cold bridging, so you're losing an awful heat straight out this wall.

06:27Like when you go down into the fireplace there as well, see the way it's kind of blue in around the fireplace particularly?

06:33You've got all drafts and everything else there, so you have negligible air tightness in the building,

06:37and you're particularly, you're losing a lot of your heat straight up the chimney.

06:40I know we're dealing with that now in the retrofit, but you can see here like how valuable all this work will be, you know?

06:45I've identified some of the heat loss trouble spots, and now it's time to sit with the couple

06:51and take a look at what this major renovation is going to cost.

06:55Myles and Ashley have gone for a one-stop shop provider who'll not only carry out all of the works,

07:01but will also help with the grant application.

07:03Right, time to look at the thorny issue of the figures for all this work.

07:07Altogether, all these works are coming into €134,000.

07:11You've grants of €21,500 coming off that, so your end result is still, eye-watering, €112,500.

07:23It's shocking, but it has to be done, so yeah, we're looking forward to this.

07:28You're looking forward to having it all done, I suppose, really,

07:31and enjoying the better quality of the living environment, I guess, is it?

07:34Indeed.

07:34People initially look at this and go, how long before I get payback in terms of lower energy bills and that kind of thing,

07:40but I wouldn't discount the value of just better quality living space and living environment.

07:45I think that's something you really enjoy in the old house, to have, to maintain all the character that we spoke of,

07:50particularly one, window reveals and ceiling rows and doorways and whatever,

07:53but to have a much nicer living environment inside and lower energy bills as well, please go.

07:58When you are retrofitting an old building like this, it's all about balance.

08:04You have to consider all the new features you'll be adding, all the new insulation, some air tightness membranes,

08:10but you have to consider the old building, all the old beautiful features,

08:13and of course, these old buildings need to breathe, so you can't make them too airtight,

08:17but you can dramatically improve these buildings in terms of energy efficiency and good quality living environment.

08:29Before the contractors arrive to start on the full renovation,

08:33Miles and Ashley have to do some of their own demolition work.

08:35And time is short.

08:38Yeah, our deadline is tomorrow morning.

08:40The contractors are on site tomorrow morning,

08:42so we still have a bit of demo work that we agreed to do up front,

08:46so it included the floor coverings, carpets, removal of all existing wardrobes,

08:51removal of the existing kitchen.

08:54So we're pretty much there other than one wardrobe,

08:57and we have a floor covering we need to take up in this room,

08:59so it could be a late night tonight before we get wrapped up

09:02and ready for the contract to start work in the morning.

09:11The lads have made their demolition deadline,

09:14so the contractor can get to work straight away,

09:17and first up is the internal wall insulation.

09:20Miles has popped in to see how it's all coming along so far.

09:24Yeah, it looks good.

09:25It looks like it's quite a quick process.

09:28Once the stud is put up,

09:30then the actual application of the mineral wall seems to be quite quick,

09:33so I'm no complaints.

09:35The fact that we're a three-house terrace

09:37to put an external insulation wrap around the house,

09:41you're going to change the look of the three-house terrace.

09:44Plus we have the volume in this house

09:46that we can afford to lose the 120 mil

09:49that the internal insulation requires,

09:52so it was a better job.

09:56The internal insulation is going up at a steady pace,

09:59so it's not long before the window contractors

10:02can begin the next step of the retrofit.

10:04But the characteristics of the new windows

10:06have the team facing into a challenging day.

10:09The new windows are,

10:10they come in one piece and they're huge.

10:13They're like 400 kilos to get some of those larger windows in.

10:16And some of the larger windows are on the top and on the landing,

10:21so to get the windows in,

10:24you need to go up and there's a return on the stairs

10:26and now there's straight stairs.

10:27But hopefully they'll get them in

10:28and installed without any concerns.

10:31Check out, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

10:34Lads, slowly.

10:35More up and up and up.

10:37Okay, one, two, three.

10:38There are double-glays, six-over-six sash windows.

10:41Specifically went for double-glays

10:43because we want to maintain the solar gain

10:45from the south-facing orientation of the building.

10:48So if we use triple-glays, we don't get that solar gain,

10:52so we kept it to double-glays,

10:53which gives us the U-value we need

10:55to achieve aerating property,

10:57but we don't lose the solar gain.

11:00With all hands on deck,

11:02the crew managed to get the windows upstairs

11:04and into position.

11:06But there's a problem.

11:07Is that the same all the way across?

11:08Yeah.

11:09Is it rotten that side as well?

11:10It's a little better,

11:12but this side's really bad.

11:13We had inspected them all

11:15and I thought we'd give them the green light

11:16on every one of them.

11:17It looks like that one is not in as good as Nick.

11:20Again, it's one of those things

11:21that you find in a 170-year-old house,

11:24so there's always going to be some element

11:25that's not 100% correct.

11:27So once it's in and set,

11:28we'll probably look to reinforce that corner

11:31before we complete the final installation.

11:37Today, I'm back in Dublin

11:39to catch up with Ashley Cortez

11:41and his husband, Miles Kenny,

11:43who are in the middle of a full renovation

11:45of their Victorian-era end-of-terrace house.

11:49Alongside the renovation,

11:50they're carrying out a full retrofit

11:52to bring the house into the 21st century.

11:56Since I last visited,

11:57they've had a huge amount of work done,

11:59but they've also had to handle

12:01a big challenge on the glazing front.

12:03Hey, Ciarán.

12:04Good to see you.

12:05Come on in.

12:05Thank you very much.

12:07Huge changes already.

12:09Yes, indeed.

12:10It might be very different

12:12from when last time you saw it.

12:13Isn't it just, yeah.

12:15We have a great view of the windows now

12:16with a beautiful day outside.

12:18How did the windows installation go?

12:20It's quite an ordeal

12:21because they're installed as a single unit.

12:23It's not like you're bringing a frame

12:24and then separate window pieces as one unit.

12:27So there's a lot of weight in them.

12:28But one particular window,

12:29there was a slight issue with the header.

12:31We ended up having to replace that

12:33because it was a timber.

12:35There were original ones.

12:36So we ended up having to replace that one.

12:38And all the rest of them are fine?

12:39All the rest of them are perfectly fine.

12:40Very good.

12:43As general building work continues around the place,

12:46the contractors are preparing

12:47to install the new heating arrangement,

12:50which will replace the old oil boiler

12:52with an up-to-date air-to-water heating system.

12:55This is the outdoor unit, so, Rory?

12:57Yeah, that's part one of part two.

12:59So the indoor unit is inside there,

13:01the cylinder and the pump as well.

13:03So that's not too far away from the heat pump.

13:04There's only a short run to it.

13:05Which is always good for efficiency.

13:07Exactly, yeah.

13:08Our intent was to plant up this area.

13:11So is there anything that I cannot...

13:13Is there a clearance that must be left

13:15in front of the heat pump?

13:16Or can I plant right up to it or what?

13:18Yeah, that's a good question.

13:19So you do want to leave a gap

13:20all the way around the heat pump.

13:21Okay, so it needs airflow coming through it.

13:24And there have been problems in the past

13:25where people wanted to put fences

13:26and things like that in front of them

13:27to block out the view.

13:28We advise not to do that.

13:30So at least 350 mil

13:31is what you want to be leaving around it.

13:33And probably a half a metre on the front of it

13:34because a lot of cold air comes out of that.

13:36It's fine for planting and things like that in front of it.

13:38You won't sit in front of it

13:39because it will be cool.

13:40Okay.

13:41But other than that,

13:42it's as is.

13:43As you see, try and leave it like that.

13:45So a couple of Arctic plants

13:46in front of it should be fine.

13:47Yeah, exactly.

13:48Okay.

13:48As the work continues

13:52on this domestic project in Dublin 8,

13:54I'm curious to see how retrofitting

13:56can be implemented on an industrial scale.

14:00At the West Park gym in Tallagh,

14:02they're making huge energy savings

14:04thanks to a wide range of measures

14:06they've put in place.

14:08Facilities manager Kevin Doyle

14:10has been leading that transformation.

14:12Kevin, when did energy efficiency

14:14first become a big priority at your health club?

14:17So I suppose about five or six years ago

14:19we decided to really start looking at energy.

14:21We had a couple of different consultants

14:23come in and do some energy balance studies

14:25and that led us in the direction

14:27of different energy saving initiatives

14:29that we decided to do.

14:30I'm looking forward to seeing what you've done.

14:32Will you show me inside?

14:33Yeah, absolutely.

14:33Let's go.

14:34Looking forward to showing you.

14:40Right, Kevin,

14:40there's an awful lot of plant here.

14:43What's happening here?

14:44This is the hub where everything happens.

14:46Some very innovative things

14:47we have a chiller unit.

14:48Our gym needs an area

14:49that needs to stay really cold,

14:51our gym floor,

14:51and our pool area needs to stay really warm.

14:54So this would feed cool air

14:56to all our air handling units.

14:57And normally the waste product,

14:59the byproduct is heat

15:00and that's normally just put out to exhaust.

15:03But we actually use that now

15:04to heat our pool air.

15:06Pool air needs to be a degree above

15:07the temperature of the water

15:08to stop any kind of heat evaporation.

15:10Your pool, how efficient is this?

15:12Tell me how this works.

15:13So this pool is a stainless steel pool.

15:16It's like a giant kitchen sink.

15:18It's one of the few pools

15:19in the country like that.

15:20Five years ago,

15:21we put in air to water heat pumps

15:23and the water is heated with heat pumps.

15:25Originally,

15:26we would have had four gas boilers in place.

15:28So we were able to get rid of all of those

15:30and put in the two big heat pumps.

15:33So this,

15:34being insulated on heat pumps,

15:35it's about as efficient as it'd get.

15:37The pool would be one of the biggest costs

15:39in a leisure centre like this?

15:40Yeah, by far.

15:41The pool was the low-hanging fruit

15:43to try and get some kind of

15:44energy-saving initiative in place.

15:46So between the heat pumps

15:47and the chiller,

15:48we feel we've taken it

15:49as far as we can.

15:51But it's so much cheaper

15:52than it was before.

15:53So speaking of costs and cost savings,

15:58what kind of impact have you seen

16:00from these energy-saving measures?

16:01A lot of the energy-saving measures

16:03we put in place

16:04had a payback of about four or five years.

16:06And this is on plant

16:07that's guaranteed for 20 years.

16:09So basically,

16:10at the end of a four or five-year period,

16:12it was literally making us

16:13free energy at that stage.

16:14As regards percentage-wise,

16:16our electricity came down

16:17in around about 40%.

16:19Now recently,

16:20since we put the solar in,

16:21there's times through the year

16:22we're 100% efficient.

16:24So we're chipping at that all the time

16:26and hopefully we'll have major savings.

16:29What's great about this fitness centre

16:31is they didn't complicate things.

16:33They looked at where energy's being used,

16:35made smart upgrades,

16:36and it's really paid off.

16:38It shows that energy savings

16:39aren't just for factories

16:41and tech companies.

16:42With the right approach,

16:43even a busy leisure centre

16:45can make big savings.

16:46And that's something

16:47a lot of small businesses

16:48could take inspiration from.

16:52Back in Dublin 8,

16:56the retrofit works

16:57are accelerating to a finish

16:58on Miles and Ashley's

16:59mid-19th century

17:00end-of-terrace home.

17:03Today,

17:03it's time to install

17:04one of the final pieces,

17:06helping to ensure

17:07a solid thermal seal

17:09around the whole house.

17:10We've insulated

17:11all the external walls,

17:13so now we need to make sure

17:14that the roof

17:15is equally insulated.

17:17For a house to go

17:19from an E1

17:20to an A3 rating,

17:22the attic needs

17:22to have 300 millimetres

17:24of insulation

17:25packed into the floor.

17:27Site manager Rory

17:28is taking Miles

17:29through the steps

17:30involved in the process.

17:32You already had

17:33some insulation,

17:34so sometime

17:34in the lifespan of the house,

17:36somebody decided

17:36to put insulation in the house.

17:38So there's about

17:38100 millimetres there.

17:39So we're going to leave

17:39that in place.

17:40It's still performing.

17:41There's no reason

17:42to take it out.

17:42We're disposed.

17:43OK.

17:43And what we're going to do

17:44is we're putting in

17:44an extra 200 millimetres

17:46of this stuff,

17:46which is earth wool.

17:47Excellent insulation properties.

17:49We're going to roll that

17:50across the existing

17:51insulation up there.

17:52We're also going to

17:53insulate any pipe work

17:54that's up there

17:54because in the wintertime

17:55that attic's going to

17:56be freezing cold.

17:57It's going to be keeping

17:57all the heat into the house.

17:58We don't want any of the

18:00pipes to freeze

18:00because if they freeze,

18:01they expand and they burst.

18:02So there's little things

18:03at that, precautions

18:04that we take.

18:05And then the very last thing

18:06is we're going to provide

18:07enough ventilation

18:07because now that we've

18:08sealed the attic

18:09and made it really airtight,

18:10we still want the timbers

18:11up there to breathe.

18:12So we're going to put in vents.

18:14This house and when it was built,

18:16it wasn't designed

18:17to have proper roof ventilation.

18:19So we just need to make sure

18:20that we're providing

18:21enough ventilation

18:22in this very old structure

18:23that it's going to last

18:25and stand the test of time.

18:26While work continues

18:28on the attic insulation,

18:29attention is also focused

18:31on another way

18:32to keep this house

18:32nice and warm.

18:34The old front door

18:35is for the chop.

18:37All the windows are in

18:37a couple of weeks now

18:38at this stage

18:38and the door was

18:39the last portion.

18:41So we've ripped out

18:42the existing door

18:43and door frame.

18:44It looked like it was

18:45like a original door

18:46but the actual door itself

18:47wasn't in good shape.

18:50Probably one of the very last steps

18:51that's actually

18:52kind of a messy job.

18:54So once the door gets in,

18:56we've patched it all up,

18:57sealed it all up,

18:58then we can start

18:59cleaning it down

19:00and getting to the final fix.

19:01Almost seven months ago,

19:08Miles and Ashley's

19:09mid-19th century

19:10end of terrace house

19:11was invaded

19:12by an army of builders

19:14in a campaign

19:15to increase

19:16its chilly E1BR rating

19:18up to a toasty A3.

19:22Thanks to interior insulation,

19:24a heat pump,

19:25double-glaze windows

19:26and a new energy-efficient

19:28front door,

19:29they have transformed it

19:30without losing

19:31much of its character.

19:33Today,

19:34I'm back to see

19:35the results for myself.

19:37Wow,

19:37look at the house.

19:39I'm lost for words.

19:41Yeah,

19:41it's coming together

19:42or it has come together.

19:43It took a while

19:44to get to here

19:45but yeah,

19:46it's been worth it

19:47for the long run.

19:47And Ashley,

19:48how are you

19:48at the end

19:49of this long journey?

19:50Delighted that

19:51it's nearly over.

19:52What's been the toughest

19:53part so far?

19:54I suppose

19:55it's a lot of us

19:56staying up late at night

19:58and I'm working

19:59and you're doing

20:00all the work

20:01so yeah.

20:03Well look,

20:03you've really set the scene.

20:05Will you show me inside?

20:06Of course.

20:06Great, lead the way.

20:10The place looks amazing.

20:12The incredible front door

20:14is the first thing

20:15you notice.

20:15It's such a lovely,

20:16heavy front door

20:17and of course

20:18it's an energy efficient

20:19front door.

20:19A bit of time

20:20in deciding

20:20the design of the door

20:22we need to be

20:24energy efficient

20:25but the shape of it

20:26is a little bit different

20:27from your standard

20:28doors you would get.

20:31There's a huge transformation

20:33in this room.

20:34You've got that gorgeous

20:34new window

20:35that really sets off

20:36the room, doesn't it?

20:37Yeah,

20:37this was a bedroom

20:38originally

20:39so we wanted to

20:40bring it back in

20:41to make it a reception room

20:42or a living room again

20:43and it really stands out

20:44as that room.

20:45And these walls here

20:47like this wall

20:47over here

20:48and over here

20:49all have that 100 mil

20:50of internal wall insulation

20:52but I'm not feeling

20:53any lack of space

20:54in this room.

20:54I mean,

20:54how did you feel

20:55when you realized

20:56you were losing

20:57100 mil on this wall

20:58and 100 mil on this wall?

20:59Did it take much

21:00getting used to?

21:00No, I don't think

21:01in the whole scheme

21:02of things

21:02you really miss it.

21:03We obviously knew

21:04there was plenty of volume

21:05in this room anyway

21:06so if this house

21:07couldn't take 100 mil

21:08then nobody would.

21:13So there's a massive

21:14transformation in this room.

21:15The last time I was here

21:16it was still

21:17under construction

21:18but one thing I'm noticing

21:19is these amazing

21:20tall radiators

21:21so they're all

21:22connected to your

21:23air to water system.

21:24Yeah,

21:25the heating system

21:25allows us to set up

21:26different zones

21:27so individually

21:28we can set

21:29what temperature

21:30we want

21:30in each of the rooms

21:31and what time

21:32the heat pump

21:33will turn on

21:33or off the heating

21:34so it's fantastic

21:35yeah,

21:36absolutely no issue.

21:37A lot of people

21:37think you have to have

21:38underfloor heating

21:39with a near to water system

21:40but like in your situation

21:42you fitted these

21:42kind of statement

21:43feature radiators

21:44which could do

21:45the same thing.

21:48The transformation

21:49is stunning.

21:50Miles and Ashley's

21:51home will have

21:52no problem

21:53nailing the target

21:54of an A3 rating.

21:56On my first visit

21:57my thermal imaging camera

21:58was setting off

21:59all kinds of cold colours.

22:01It'll be interesting

22:02to see the readings

22:03now all the work is done.

22:05I know you're a fireplace here

22:06and you covered all that

22:08and you brought insulation

22:09over all this wall

22:10but it'll be good

22:11to just check it

22:11to make sure

22:12there's no cold bridging anyway.

22:14It's all been

22:15a dramatic improvement

22:15straight away.

22:16That looks good.

22:17Greens and yellows

22:18I mean this is exactly

22:19what you want to see

22:20because you can get

22:21a cold bridging

22:22when you're covering

22:22over some existing features

22:24but I mean this is

22:24a dramatic improvement

22:26isn't it?

22:26Yeah.

22:27Oh it's great to see

22:28that all the installations

22:29are all working

22:30so yeah.

22:31That's a good relief

22:32isn't it?

22:32Very very happy.

22:35It's open house

22:36in Dublin 8.

23:17to look at

23:18so well done.

23:23We came to this project

23:24as both an energy

23:25and a upgrade project

23:27not just one or the other

23:28so now that we have

23:29combined both

23:30the quality of the house

23:31is very different

23:32from when we started.

23:33Very happy

23:40Retrofitting a house

23:41of this age

23:42was always going to be

23:43a monumental task

23:44but Miles and Ashley

23:45have pulled it off.

23:47Their home is now

23:48warm, efficient

23:49and ready for the future.

23:50This project proves

23:51that even our oldest homes

23:53can be upgraded

23:54to modern energy standards

23:55without losing

23:56too much character.

24:17We'll see you next time in the next video.

24:25We'll see you next time in the next video.
