house extension

emieb · 2013-08-17 20:32:33

Hi all, We are planning an extension to a 1830's thatch cottage. We are wondering has anyone done so and tried to meet passive standards? Does air tightness damage the existing thatch? How do we connect the two buildings.

See Scanhome.ie and contact owner Lars Peterson and I'm sure he will give you good advice. He is a great engineer.
