    Hi all,
    Building in Donegal and at roof. 3600ft house.
    I have a 100mm cavity with 60mm cavity insulation.
    I plan to dry-line outer walls and ceilings.
    I hope to run underfloor heating throughout house.
    I intend putting:
    50mm insulation in ground floor with 100mm screed
    50mm insulation in first floor with 50mm liquid screed
    I have ordered triple glazed Camden windows.
    I like the idea of HRV.
    I was set on running the system on a condenser boiler with a view to making it easy to change over to a more eco-system in the future.
    Any suggestions on the above system or recommendations are welcome please.

    An air to water heat pump would work quiet well together with underfloor heating and a heat recovery system. Certainly worth looking into.

    Haven't really got a suggestion for you re a heating system - so many options, variables and developed predjudices out there for me to assume I could do that - but one thing about the MHRV. Being a ventilation system it should not really be considered along with your heating. It should be considered along with how air-tight you are planning on having the house. The leakier the house, the less efficient or needed is the HRV.
