Energy Efficient New-build Homes Using Schiedel Swift Air
A range of energy efficient homes were built in Cork using the efficient Schiedel Swift system
The project by Hallmark Developments was particularly energy efficient above and beyond the basic scope: High insulation levels; Heat Recovery System; Gas Central Heating; Wood Burning Stove with a Schiedel Swift Air system and Solar Panels;
Cygnum Timber Frames, which have a number of energy efficiency advantages, provided the frame for the homes. An airtight building such as a the range of Hallmark homes results in lower heating bills, as well as having an efficient ventilation system and fewer draughts. The carbon footprint of a building is the total amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) produced and emitted, directly and indirectly when manufacturing a product or component for that building.
Cygnum pride themselves on producing a building with a very low carbon footprint
Schiedel Swift Air neatly and simply delivers combustion air to the heating appliance.
Ideally suited to energy efficient buildings, such as the Hallmark Development, combined with a Cygnum Timber Frame
- The combination of advanced chimney technology and modern efficient wood burning appliances can give you the best of both worlds – an energy efficient home and the enjoyment of a real fire.
- The Swift Air System delivers combustion air directly to the appliance from outside the house, eliminating drafts in the living room thus further improving energy efficiency.
- No warm air is taken from the room where the appliance is positioned.
- Suitable for stoves, stove inserts, cookers and boilers.
- Suitable for all fuels – gas, oil, solid fuels and biomass fuels.
- Suitable for Timber Frame, Steel Frame and Masonry construction.
- Air-independent chimneys reduce the wind effect on the air intake.
- Provisions for additional air intake channels / ducting are no longer necessary.

Using volcanic pumice building blocks to build a chimney during a self-build project.
Using volcanic pumice building blocks to build a chimney during a self-build project. Avoiding gas reliance when building a new house. Traditional self-build projects have always had heating systems such as gas central heating and solar panels installed. However, with the increasing costs of gas, and the uncertainty of future supplies, a secondary heating source [...]

Choosing the correct liner size for NEW chimneys.
Choosing the correct liner size for NEW chimneys. “New masonry chimneys should be constructed with flue liners suitable for the intended application". This statement from Building Document J is critical; however, a common issue is that many newly built chimneys rely on flexible liners to allow a stove installation, because the typically 225mm clay/concrete system [...]
