    These are the questions you should really be asking your architect / engineer / ber assessor and all should be answered before any work commences. For instance, if hrv is to be installed and solid fuel stove is designed in, then there should be an external air supply to the stove.

    Also does the house comply with building regs? Do you know?
    Has the design been assessed in DEAP?

    My advice is to get professional input now and save alot further down the line.
