The low energy consumption and high energy efficiency of these houses have been achieved thanks to:

  • airtight construction
  • south-facing windows to gain the heat of the sun
  • controlled ventilation with heat recovery
  • solar heating system used for domestic hot water

Energy consumption

83,00 kWhpe/m2.year
