In Darmstadt, Germany, a house from 1928 is being refurbished into a cosy, energy-efficient home.
It retains its charm while incorporating passive house components, thermal insulation, triple-glazed windows, and a PV system.
A heat pump with a buffer tank replaces the gas boiler, and a ventilation system with heat recovery ensures good indoor air quality.
