Passive house projekt in S’alqueria Blanca

Building envelope
the term "passive" means a construction. This is with different designs, shapes and materials to reach. It is a development of low-(“Take") standards.

The term "passive" denotes a building in which a comfortable indoor climate in summer and in winter there without having to expend much energy to them.

This requires, above all, that the annual heating requirement is not more than 15 kWh / (M2A) is located. The residual heat still required can then by a warming of the air over the already existing ventilation system, or via low temperature heating surfaces done. Passive houses need about 80% less heat than new buildings after the German Insulation Regulation 1995 and the Austrian building regulations. Majorca should this value may be higher.

The name "passive house" derives, therefore, that in essence the "passive" use of existing heat from sunlight through the windows and the heat of appliances and residents enough to the building during the heating pleasant to keep indoor temperatures.

In a passive house are also the other energy needs, particularly of electricity for household appliances, etc., by using technology more effectively minimized. The aim is that the entire energy needs for heating, hot water and household 42 kWh / (M2A) does not exceed. This is at least a factor of 4 lower than the specific consumption levels of new buildings according to the rules applicable in Europe.

One of the main pillars is the building envelope. The building envelope consists of the various components of a house. The essential elements are the windows and exterior walls and the roof. We speak but only from a high building envelope, if these components thermal Free linked together.

In order to reach not only an energy reduction through reduced heat dissipation, but also a very good air-tightness. The energy becomes a part of the walls and windows and lost a large part of leakage. Leaks are the connections between different parts of the building on. Heat rises up and cooling down. In the case of heating the air to rise. It creates thermals in the house. The warm air is leaking through the roof exousted connections. A leaky roof line is the transition between wall and roof. When an external temperature of nearly 0 degrees and a living room temperature of 22 degrees can be a huge boost to emerge. This lift is similar to a balloon. Only the house is too heavy to fly. The energy and the warm air Prints but with the same force against the roof.

In a passive, all these leaks already in the planning and eliminated in the execution specifically observed.

The walls are thermally insulated landesuntypisch. In most cases, it is also necessary to insulate the basement walls, since a not inconsiderable amount of energy into the ground lost. The windows in passive houses 3scheibig be executed. The three-disc glazing has tremendous advantages. Cold air stays cold longer. If the house is warm, the heat will also stay longer in the house. DRAFT before the windows are a thing of the past. It is possible high Space glazing to realize without windows before the radiator place to be.

The passive house is comparable with coffee from the thermos flask of coffee and they constantly on the hot plate must hold. The product is the same. Warm coffee. Only the energy use is compatible with the plate ten times!

Energy Concept

For the selected energy plan is an alternative energy system with low energy under floor heating system ventilation and comfort. On the easy handling of the Building Systems was very big emphasis.

The heat is the trend of the current energy situation with fossil fuels, but with a modern economic air / water heat pump. The heat pump is different to all other heating systems with the advantage that only a portion of energy in the form of electricity and must be but that four times in heat available.

With an oil heating effect a price increase to a hundred percent on heating bills from.

With a heat pump does the price only to fourth, because the environment for heating energy used, which in turn led to an enormous stability in the coming years with the heating effect.

The low energy under floor heating permits in connection with the very high quality building envelope a Mediterranean climate in the whole house.

Through the single control room is also available in every room of the desired temperature can be adjusted.

By the fact that the extremely low surface temperatures that are only slightly above the desired temperature kept no air is moved in a very open, generous space in the living room, various temperature zones to be created.

How can we respond to their being and on the entire heating equal temperature wellnesses generate exactly to the wishes of the residents can vote.

To be useful complement in the living quarters comfort zones by means of wall and ceiling heating created. By temperament of the walls and ceiling creates an incredible comfort. There are no cold walls or more components, which are preparing unease. The walls are pleasant like a hot stove. These are comfort zones throughout the house in the walls and ceilings and placed radiators form an invisible. Even in the bathrooms, all the walls with wall heater running, so the stone or tiles can be pleasantly tempered.

In the summer event, it is possible to wall and ceiling heater to cool to use. The heat pump can not only heat but also cold in summer produce, through the wall and ceiling heating system cools the house comfortable without air to move. It is a very gentle silent cooling guaranteed.

As a complement we build into every passive approach a comfort ventilation system, which also ensures that air quality is ensured. It also supports the cooling, because it prevents hot air enters buildings, the only back with a lot of energy to be cooled down. The housing ventilation is the basis for any passive, because it summer and winter to ensure that a temperature increase or cool the house through the ventilation can be prevented.

It is in every living room, bedroom, living room and fresh air eingesickert and in the bathrooms, kitchen, and bathroom’s bad air from the room.

With the energy of the bad air is fresh and up outside the premises allocated. It can house 24 hours a day to be vented without having to expend energy for heating.

If the house over time be uninhabited, there will be no bad stale air, if the house is occupied again. Is the house cool in summer, the housing ventilation ensures that the cool air in the house remains.

The many benefits of comfort ventilation:

- Fresh air outdoors as a window without opening them

- A fresh ventilated house even if it has not always lived, and thus a manual ventilation is not possible anyway

- Intrusion Detection, as in the night window open

- On average 60% less dust because the dust comfort ventilation in the room  will exhaust.

- No mosquitoes and flies in the house

- No pollen exposure in the summer months

- No outdoor air pollution by dust filtering with fine dust filters

- Saving energy through heat (about 30% of the total heating)

- Aired by evaporation from floor coverings, paint, furniture, etc.

- No residue of cigarette smoke curtains or paint by continuous loading and bleeding throughout the finch

- By anty moising effect the housing ventilation system increases the relative humidity is no longer so great. Even in winter the humidity is kept below, so that the climate is also Mediterranean in winter and very pleasant (no moist)

A Modern warm energy pump corresponds to the zeitgeist. It makes a major contribution to the environment and is therefore considered to be sustainable. It protects the resources on the island. Because electricity is the only energy source, on the island can be produced. All other energy sources must be equipped with high energy use on the island to be transported. Dealing with electricity, must be very efficient, because the capacity at the moment almost exhausted. How a house with heat pump technology should is the amount of energy the system and the house is required by me and solar photovoltaic systems generate. Thus, the goal of a house without emissions and energy costs to operate can be achieved.
