In Canada, created an energy-efficient building made of fiberglass Bashny.Net

 

The consortium of construction companies Larkfleet Homes (Canada), known by a number of energy efficient developments, has created another prototype of a passive house of the future, the main material for construction is fiberglass.

The developers of this project, which by its characteristics superior to the strict UK building regulations level six, said that fiberglass was chosen as one of the most innovative materials, able to satisfy all the requirements of modern construction.





He absolutely does not transmit moisture and does not create cold joints, the main cause of heat loss, and is easy to installation process and cheap to produce.

For the construction of the house was used by 10 of the wall panels produced at the plant, the installation of which on-site construction does not require any concrete Foundation, or trained professionals. Installed panels for fiberglass beams, located on poles of the same fiberglass.

This design allowed not only to achieve the minimum weight of all design – house-prototype weighs only 18 tons, but also to achieve excellent performance of heat and sound insulation. Coupled with triple glazing the entire house is heated only by the heater, the power of which is equal to one kilowatt, and he, in turn, is powered by a 2-kilowatt solar panel, which also provides hot water for the needs of the tenants and lighting, equipped with led lamps.

In the calculation for family of four, this energy-efficient house demonstrates the full self-energy, and in future similar projects, the replication will be here to enjoy great popularity.

But the timing of the serial implementation of energy-efficient houses of this type, in consortium Larkfleet Homes do not call, as it depends not only on the availability of interested developers, but also from the adjustment of the required number of facilities for the production of fiberglass wall panels.
