With this technology, new and old buildings can be made energetically self-sufficient at low cost !
This is how we do it:
An active combined wood-glass façade reduces heating usage by 80%. AWith the addition of a double flow ventilation system, an energy saving of 95% can be achieved. Integration of a hot water heating system with a low power heat pump. Photovoltaic solar panels (reduced surface area) supply power to the heat pump.
Objectifs :
Achieve a rapid reduction of atmospheric CO2 emissions. Reduce our dependency on non-renewable fossil fuels. Ensure that the home owners and tenants are in control of the running costs of their homes.
