mdsamiul888

Today we bring you a CASE STUDY of one of our Passivhaus homes that has been published in the prestigious magazine Tectónica .

It is a small 72m2 biopassive home built in the Madrid town of Valdemorillo , and which obtained spectacular results, since it met thestrictest energy efficiency standards in the world, the passivhaus, it is worth highlighting Brunei Email List the result of the  blowerdoor test that was achieved, the value obtained was 0.45 r/h when the standard requires a minimum of 0.6 r/h . They did not want to certify this home because the client did not need to pay for the certificate, just getting the standard was enough for them.

To say that in this house we collaborated with the multinational Finsa , which was the one who carried out the blowerdoor test because they wanted to test if their SuperPan Tech 5 particle boards were airtight, since the Passivhaus Institute does not contemplate them, and it is clear that they work perfectly, so we can say that this home is the 1st PASSIVHAUS HOUSE WITH PARTICLE BOARD IN SPAIN.

As always, at 100x100madera we are innovating and improving our constructions, being pioneers in many fields of BioPasiva construction in Spain in order to be able to offer the highest quality to our clients.



We advise you to read the entire article because it is very well explained and detailed.

«A Passivhaus is a highly insulated home that protects from cold and excess heat. At the same time, it takes advantage of climatic resources to ventilate, and heat or cool the air and water; and accumulates the energy it consumes with hardly any need to spend more. “With all this we managed to eliminate heating and air conditioning as we understand it,” explains Ander Echeverría, commercial director of 100x100madera, the first to build a certified passive house in Madrid. It is in Guadalix de la Sierra and serves as a show house so that potential clients "believe that they can live in a house without heating or air conditioning as such in the middle of the mountains."

«This house avoids extreme variation in interior temperature thanks to a system that crosses the air from inside the house, already hot, with the air that enters from outside. In the words of Echeverría, the house can recover up to 92% of the energy it produces. For 8 months of the year, the average indoor temperature would remain around 21 degrees. “On the coldest or hottest days, external sources are needed, which are usually renewable. In our case, we use hydrothermal energy to cool or heat the water in batteries that are connected to the ventilation of the house," he concludes.
