Energy-efficient house in Minsk

The couple has invested millions of dollars in energy-efficient house in modern style. Surplus energy plan to sell state

In March 2013 in the village Semkovo began "construction of the century." So call her wife Ekaterina and Sergei, conceived to bring their own understanding of the ideal of home - energy-efficient house in Art Nouveau style, powered alternative energy of the sun and the earth. Surplus energy produced will go to the reserves of the country. Find a home without prompting owners not so simple: it leads to uneven sandy road, following in the forest who come to a standstill. Couple deliberately look for a place to hide from the eyes of unnecessary and closed fence of trees. This area was found, and now the construction of a dream home is not limited to any architectural ideas or finances.

2 In the villages near Minsk accustomed to seeing a multi-storey stretching skyward locks or good houses made of solid wood or standard unremarkable brick houses. Energy-efficient house at first glance does not even identified as a residential facility - a one-storey dark-colored box. Surpassing its perimeter, understand: in front of us custom design with modern elements. In Minsk, such a rarity, but in overseas photographs on the Internet such a lot.

4 prototype served as a project implemented a collector of contemporary art - house, located on the Cote d'Azur in France. But in the end the original concept remained only an external similarity. There has been a mixture of styles: the facade is with modern elements, the interior of the house - in the style of classical palace with high doorways, using the design of marble and mosaics.

5 Catherine - a businesswoman, a variety of services, but its main hobby and at the same time work is interior design. Sergey - as a businessman, but in the automotive field. The first joint "swallow" the couple began house in the precincts of Minsk: bought an old building in 1956 with a toilet on the street and eventually turned it into lush greenery house-garden with swimming pool, sauna and other amenities. In the village Semkovo the couple built just two houses, one for my wife and one for my husband, as they joke with each other. One that the husband is a wooden frame and is used for receptions, parties and music-making of (Sergey play a musical instrument). A brainchild of Catherine over ambitious: building will be the first registered in Belarus energy efficient private house, in which the state will purchase energy.

7 - Box house was built in just five days - says Catherine. - As energy efficiency has been a determining factor in the construction, we decided to stop on frame method of construction. No other material can not be done from home kind of thermos. Walls and ceilings are insulated. Ceiling height - from 3 to 6, 5 m. So thanks to the materials used and there is a passive energy saving at home.

9 - The total capacity of solar power plant consisting of 28 solar panels installed on the roof of the house - 6720 W - explains project engineer SolarEnrg Belarus Alexander Galkin. - In simple terms, the installation produces direct current, which is converted by an inverter mounted inside the house, enters the network and nourishes all appliances. Generated solar electricity is the basis for the creation of a three-phase uninterruptible power supply. Since the installation of the power plant has been two months.



10 - Statistics of solar panels is displayed on a small display on the inverter. Based on it, the current power generated by solar panels is almost 5 kW, the day they have developed 15 kW • h, since the installation - 1, 72 MW • h.

11 Currently, solar panels not only cover the needs of the house, but many times they are superior. This circumstance owners intend to put back on track - the excess energy in the future will be sold to the state at "green tariff". Today, 1 kW • h of energy generated by alternative sources, the state is ready to buy from legal entities and individual entrepreneurs for 40 cents. Set in motion the math, we conclude: two months installing power generated by $ 400-500. It turns out the money as part of a small business can be obtained from the sun, is in the public domain. The introduction of solar power plants in commercial operation will reduce the payback period of the equipment in two times - up to five years.

14 However, to establish income generating in this way, it is necessary to go through dozens of bureaucratic approvals. In the meantime, the excess energy during the day are sent to the substation with the switchboard and distributed through a network of neighboring houses, so that their tenants, I think, very happy.



15 - In order to get permission to sell power to collect and sign in 38 different instances of documents - surprised Catherine. - This has been my dad: he retired, have time to walk from office to office. No one else would not have had neither the time nor the energy to these bureaucratic circles. At this stage of Minsk city executive committee has already made a positive decision. It is small. But under the law to sell state alternative energy can only be a period of ten years.



Title 16 energy efficiency home support has not caught on yet another system in Belarus - geothermal installation. Here they were even two. The length of the wells into the earth, and feed the house warm - not less than 100 m. And if the solar panels for electricity borrowing from nature directed upwards, the geothermal plant draws gas from the bowels of the earth. The heat pump converts the energy to heat the ground, which heats the water and heats the whole house. Geothermal installation pulled for a considerable amount - $ 60 thousand.



17 House vegetable garden from the outside world transparent plastic fence - as opposed to the high and massive fences, behind which are used to hide the "off-budget" home. This is done in order to conceal the view of the green area surrounding territory.



18 Some elements of the facade will be mirrored, others - completely covered with greenery, and some of them - prosaic and view from different angles. For example, a bedroom and lounge have several glass walls. To the owners did not feel like a reality show in full view of curious passers-by, the bulk of the glass facade aims to break the swamp and forest thicket - is unlikely someone will walk there and look in the window.

21 Behind the house are located heated swimming pool depth of 1, 5 m and a small children's pool. On Bansal and yews, decorating the yard, spent $ 20 thousand. - In a building that is expensive is almost invisible.



22 - Having experience in lawn care in the yard that you want to mow every five days, this yard area we decided to use a decorative rubble. The idea is that the house did not need care.



23 The porch and the main entrance to the house disguised - in the wall with horizontal wooden strips immediately and do not recognize the door. It offers remote control.



24 bedroom, nursery, office, maid room, guest room, living room, kitchen, dining room, garage and utility room to fit the area 580 square meters. m and occupy only one floor.
- Equipment for use in the home and equipment in the house is also not simple - Energy Class AAA +. For example, recovery units in the ventilation system consumes only 160 watts. This record low. Of course, she had to pay for the lot. But such a "pandora" will clean the air in all areas and at the same time consume energy as a chandelier. Outdoor and indoor lighting is LED home.



25 His "project of the century" Catherine translates to a page in Facebook. There have already accumulated a lot of wishing to follow the process and see the final result. Complete the construction work and to move into a house wife plan at the end of the year.



26 And while he was not yet ready, the palm in terms of energy efficiency belongs to the house in Dzerzhinsk, which is known as the first Multi-Comfort House in Belarus. He was introduced to the public in 2013, but is rather exemplary. With energy efficient private housing in the country is still tugovato. If the apartment building has long been built using energy-efficient technologies, for the individual people it is too expensive.
The investments of the dream home of Catherine and Sergey already exceeded one million dollars. To save in the future will have to invest considerably in the present, but no latest technology does not move the main stumbling block - the dependence of man from nature.

All!
