Can you imagine a house in which the warmth in winter and cool in summer for just 1 euro per square meter per year? Which, in addition to energy savings, a high level of sound insulation, low maintenance cost of the building and its high durability?
Two Greek civil engineers, Stefanos Hatzulis and Christina Georgiadi, not only imagined such a House, but also translate your idea into reality. Their company «X-G lap + development is the first who introduced the ènergopassivnye in Greece houses, those houses, insulation system using air flow is completely different from practised today.
Externally, they are no different from any other ordinary homes. However, in their original design ensures zero costs for heating and cooling throughout the year. For example, a fireplace or a wall-mounted air conditioner sufficient to insulate a House with an area of 200 sq.m.and if the House already has a boiler house with an oil tank at three tons, oil will expire in ... 25 years!
How does this happen? Ènergopassivnye homes have zero energy from external factors, such as natural gas or oil. This means that the energy is produced by the House itself, its materials and technology used. Thus, the energy-saving level is 90%.
Worldwide, about 100,000 such houses were built. But only 850 of them meet all the conditions and have international certificates, issued by the independent research centre "passive house Institute. Among them there is Greek House, built in the city of Volos and Hatzulisom Stefanos Hristinoj Georgiadi.
It is a complex of three cottages in the municipality of Agria Volos. At the foot of Mount Pelion, surrounded by olive groves, ènergopassivnye houses have a view to the sea and the mountain of the Centaurs. Idyllic picturesque landscape inside resembles the scenery, but and outside have scientific and fantastic atmosphere. The building, which functions without heating, offers its owners a great quality of life, in accordance with all international standards, but also lower costs at its servicing. You must also add that the energy efficiency of buildings has been tested for a period exceeding two years.
