Geothermal and aerothermal systems are energy efficiency systems that achieve very cheap energy. Do you know which one is better and which is more economical?

Sustainable houses are those that meet some standard such as Passivhaus or that are within the regulation of nearly zero energy buildings. We explain their details.

We show you the details of the first Passivhaus in Spain that has been built in an area of extreme summer. In Andalusia, where temperatures reach 45 degrees.

Bioclimatic houses are a way of living in communion with nature, taking advantage of its possibilities. In addition, they enjoy high energy efficiency.

Undoubtedly, Passivhaus is one of the most characteristic labels in terms of sustainable homes. Right now, with the modification of the CTE, its implementation is easier.

In the last 15 years, we have seen how the demand for self-sufficient or low-consumption homes has increased, due to both the advancement of new technologies and the development of new materials, as well as the intention that has progressively permeated society to generate less pollution.

There is a Passivhaus standard in favor of sustainable development and energy efficiency that applies in all areas, including construction, architecture, and interior design. It is a proposal based on the promotion of high energy efficiency buildings.

The Passivhaus standard has become a reference model in the rehabilitation of homes and buildings. The reason? It enables the construction of houses that, thanks to the utilization of bioclimatic architecture, can significantly increase their energy efficiency.

Construction with energy efficiency above average using resources from bioclimatic architecture and appropriate controlled mechanical ventilation systems. To better understand how it works, we will present a practical example of the first certified Passivhaus home in Madrid.

Ventilation systems and water heaters are becoming more common due to their great energy efficiency. They obtain the thermal energy present in the extracted air and use it to supply domestic hot water (DHW). In this article, we will discuss this technology in depth.
