Making a Victorian house Green

[ljn]

In a new series, the The Guardian will be following the renovation of a Victorian terraced house, aiming to improve the energy efficiency.
In the first clip there was no mention of breathability or appropriateness of modifications.

Quite interesting. I was impressed that the EST guy didn't appear to be pushing ripping out the existing windows as a cost efficient measure - there was a reasonably obvious edit on the end of the sentence and it would have been interesting to know if he was about to recommend secondary glazing.

The energy consultant did suggest internal or external wall insulation - neither of which can be achieved without changing the appearance of the house.

I'll try and remember to keep up with it.
