Rehabilitation of a 'Cabaña Pasiega'
The rehabilitation of a 'Cabaña Pasiega', a detached single-family house in Cantabria (Spain), preserves its exterior stone while enhancing energy efficiency with insulation and sustainable systems to meet EnerPHit certification.
The rehabilitation of a traditional 'Cabaña Pasiega' in Selaya, Cantabria (Spain), preserves the stone exterior while adding a 'second skin' of insulation to meet EnerPHit certification.
The two-story home includes a ground floor with a living area, kitchen, and utility room, and a first floor with two bedrooms and bathrooms.
Key features include a highly insulated thermal envelope, energy-efficient windows, and a heat pump integrated into the compact ventilation system (Orkli PKOM 4) for heat recovery and domestic hot water.
The building achieves a low annual heating demand of 33 kWh/m²a, ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining the traditional structure.
