The picture shows a window frame fixed with brackets and not screwed through the frame to avoid ‘cold bridging’ the insulation. They are then sealed with airtightness tape (and, in our case, the window frame was first surrounded with Vitaseal expanding foam tape to provide further airtightness and insulation). Not shown here is the additional insulation subsequently placed around the whole frame inside and out to further reduce heat loss through the window frame. There is much more information about this in another post. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/360d2298-d8ac-4a9c-903f-e8b87db425dd/The+main+principles+of+a+passive+house.jpg Blog - The Marvel of Passive Houses - Make it stand out The main principles of a passive house: optimising heat from the sun and retaining heat from within, with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

The upper and lower U-shaped ’tiles’ are visible as is water coming out of the lower portion: this system is still functional. In at least two areas in neighbours’ fields these pipes had collapsed causing small sink holes requiring repair to reinstate the drainage function and for safety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/72ef6920-600c-4a87-98b5-30371f7723f2/Slide1-24.jpg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out Crushed stone under the house’s foundations, and perforated drainage pipes around the house and retaining walls are a main part of our sustainable drainage strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/e31501d3-273c-4de2-9d44-994dc229c3a4/frenchdrain.jpg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out French drain with perforated pipe surrounded by a non-woven geotextile permeable membrane prior to final covering with pea shingle. This allows water drainage but prevents ingress of soil particles and vegetation roots into the drainage system. Two pipes are visible: the lower is the perforated land drainage pipe and the upper an unperforated one carrying the sewage treatment plant outflow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/8302615c-85c0-422f-be8d-bb21a528465e/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out The pictures above and below show the trench being dug for the ground source heat pump array. On the right below, looking back towards where the house will be, it’s clear that the ground is wet: this helps considerably in transferring heat from the ground into the fluid circulating in the heat pump ground array pipe. The pea gravel-filled French drain adjacent to a neighbour’s garden is shown in the left-hand picture above, and, slightly uphill from it, the trench for the ground-source heat pump collector pipe is being dug, also shown in the right-hand picture. An advantage of this positioning is that it encourages a flow of water across much of the length of the ground loop thus aiding the transference of heat from the higher ground where it is heated by the sun (wet ground transfers heat more effectively than dry; the most efficient transfer being achieved with a heat collection array in water such as in a lake). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/4e418bef-03ef-4d84-bf9b-d3922fecc624/cylindrical%2Bclayware%2Bdrainage%2Bpipe.jpg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out A more-modern cylindrical clayware drainage pipe exposed during groundworks that needed connecting to the new surface water drainage system https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/33f012fb-2a21-4acf-9b63-5b2e55e39d6a/frecnhdraincloseup.jpg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out Close-up of the two pipes shown in the previous picture. The upper, unperforated, one carries the sewage treatment plant outflow and the lower, perforated, one is for land drainage. The perforations are only on its upper surface so water in it can easily flow to the outfall and not seep back into the ground https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/d2b81209-a2b0-4326-8985-d559f0e6d2f5/Brook%2Bpipe%2Boutlet.jpg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out Outlet into the brook in the valley floor constructed of concrete-filled bags https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67486f6459c5d57a038b264e/7eac0664-f886-4a37-afb0-222dfe7eb2f1/French%2Bdrain.jpg Blog - Groundworks: drainage and the heat pump ground collector - Make it stand out Left, a trench across a neighbour’s field for a French drain and for a separate non-perforated pipe taking the outflow from our sewage treatment plant towards the brook in the valley floor.
