I found this interesting but at the same time very off putting. Having read that, I would be very wary of making any major changes to the insulation of the house - something that really needs some attention. Of course the ideal solution is to consult an experienced architect or other professional, but that sounds expensive.

What is the best way to get this ball rolling? Should I be looking for an eco-artitect or is there a cheaper alternative?

P.S. I've just found this which looks interesting :- http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/content/download/179060/420011/version/4/file/CE138%20-%20energy%20efficient%20historic%20homes%20-%20case%20studies.pdf/perma/1]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2593 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2593 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:10:34 +0100 tony http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 20:02:29 +0000 GBP-Keith http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=230 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=230 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 19:29:26 +0100 GBP-Keith
