Help with installation / diagram

Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

    Take a look at the Denby Dale PassivHaus for a good example of a well performing traditional cavity wall construction - as Andy mentioned, wide cavity ties (with BBA certification) such as Teplo are common on 300mm cavity. I don't need UK certification, but I'm looking at a similar design (albeit with 200mm internal block) for a house in France (500mm wall thickness overall). Excellent winter performance and good internal thermal mass for summer performance  - nice deep windows (from outside, with shutters) to get good shading, coupled with roof overhang of 500mm. I've got space for a lot of roof integrated PV, so actually targeting net zero carbon on an annual basis (including my car charging) coupled with currently an ASHP (but investigating water source as I can get a borehole down with the local "well" company to the water in about 12m depth (a well on a neighbouring site has some pretty good draw down characteristics in terms of flow rate down to about 20+ metres


    Not the sort of thing the mainstream house builders are doing but certainly fairly common in the "self build" and "green client" fraternity
