Park home heat recovery ventilation & energy improvement pilot (CP777) (CP789)
- 27th September 2017
The project was delivered by Cheshire West and Chester Council and involved installing measures in 52 park home properties built pre-1996 at the Orchard Park site in Elton. All properties received insulation, with 15 of these also receiving Vent-Axia single room heat recovery systems, usually one unit in the bathroom and one in the kitchen.

The project was delivered by Cheshire West and Chester Council and involved installing measures in 52 park home properties built pre-1996 at the Orchard Park site in Elton. All properties received insulation, with 15 of these also receiving Vent-Axia single room heat recovery systems, usually one unit in the bathroom and one in the kitchen.
The aims of the project were:
- To establish how Cheshire West and Chester Council could help park home households improve the thermal efficiency of their households.
- To reduce energy bills and improve health and wellbeing for park home households in Cheshire West and Chester (CWaC).
- To produce detailed case studies, establish show homes, and inform national best practice.
- To develop a business case for funding and finances to be better allocated on a local and national basis.
The technologies installed were:
- Alumasc Swisstherm External Wall Insulation System;
- YBS Foil Tech Underfloor Insulation;
- URSA Glasswool (blown loft insulation system);
- Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Tempra Through-The-Wall Heat Recovery Unit (HRU).
