Ryan Urquhart knows how to create a sustainable home. Drawing on his skills as a director of architectural and building consultants Baxter Design Company, he self-built the eco-friendly house he shares with his wife, Jemma, and their daughter, Miley, in Aberdeenshire. A key element was an air source heat pump, which was installed alongside underfloor heating, mechanical ventilation and a heat recovery system.
“Our NIBE system has been reliable, efficient and keeps us warm and comfortable throughout the year,” says Urquhart. “We have been particularly impressed by how seamlessly our systems work together to provide both low-carbon heating and balanced ventilation, reducing energy consumption and minimising our energy costs.”
