What you should know about Steingrimsson Associates Limited
When we first approached Sandra to draw up plans for our new home we had a scanty ideas in mind on the style of home we wanted. The owners wanted a fresh living area to the north with submissive solar design considerations. Sandra took immense concern to ensure the house is thermally efficient and living in Marlborough we thought it urgent to exploit the sunshine for both summer and winter with the use of solar technology as healthy as her careful thought in the placement of glass and tiling to create areas of passive heat. 'I can comprehend why you feel it is the superior renovation you have done it was such a dog. Fresh roof framing is designed with a height allowing fully lofted ceiling insulation to be installed across to the external walls.
Fundamental to each project is u sing the free energy from the sun yielding solar design, using sustainable heating systems and designing a high thermally rated exterior envelope. The roof overhangs on the extension is at a high level, allowing the sun further into the room in winter than it does on the existing house. Through ventilation is achieved with north and south opening windows to the living and most bedrooms. Orientation to north, important glazing panes to the north walls, with large tiled area to act as a heat sink.
We gave Sandra an idea on the size of the rooms we wanted, and an idea of the layout we thought would labor for us, and left her to design our plan. The tangible slab is 150mm heavy in the tiled area it contains the hydronic heating pipes and acts as a heat sink releasing heat in the evening. In slab heated water pipes and under tile electric heating cables have been installed to all tiled areas. NZ Standard 4299 Earth Buildings Not Requiring Specific Design was used to design the extension.
These alternative energy systems installed in 2010 allows free space heating from the sun, release water heating and space heating from their investment in the cooker. We are very pleased and contented with her work, and are really enjoying living in our lovely new home. Also, an enthusiasm to install a variety of heating systems to be able to share their experience with their clients
