Energy efficient house in the suburbs

In the Chekhov district of the Moscow region, a two-storey energy-efficient house is being built. Heating costs are five times lower than a conventional building.



Energy saving will be achieved through the use of mineral-watt thermal insulation by Saint-Gobain, manufactured under the ISOVER brand, the installation of energy-saving glass units, an air recovery system and a heat pump. According to the methodology of the Institute of Passive House PHPP 2007, the house will consume no more than 45 kWh / (m2·year). For comparison, in low-rise buildings, the heat energy consumption for heating during the heating period is 150 – 300 kWh / (m2·year) (at a rate of 95 – 195 kWh / (m2·year).

The project of the energy-efficient house with a volatile area of 290.9 m2 includes two floors, a basement, an attic floor with a pitched roof and access to the balcony - an exploited roof. The load-bearing structures made of monolithic reinforced concrete accumulate a comfortable temperature and maintain it for a long time.

“This facility is very interesting because it will use two different insulation systems using ISOVER products.” This will allow achieving the set energy consumption goals by reducing heat loss through the enclosing structures. Energy-efficient windows at the facility are placed taking into account the orientation to the cardinal points to achieve optimal balance. The selected construction of monolithic reinforced concrete allows to minimize the cost of air conditioning in the summer. The service life of such a building will be more than 100 years - more than one generation will be able to appreciate the comfort of living in this energy-efficient house, says Kirill Paramonov, an expert on energy efficiency in construction, ISOVER.

At the moment, there is waterproofing of the underground part of the building and the construction of load-bearing walls of the second floor, insulation of the facades will soon begin.
