5 principles of building energy-efficient homes

WAmeche: energy prices (gas, electricity, coal) fall only on the stock exchange, for the end user (Us) - is only growing, but because the owners of villas and town houses are moving to building materials and technologies, retain heat in the house.

IN this article I will talk about the five main rules of building efficient and warm houses.

Rule one.
Often, full air circulation, and at the same time and uniform heating of the house interfere with dense interior doors and floor decks: the result in the same room is hot, others may be cold. Therefore, energy-efficient homes often use this solution as an open space between the floors (cm. a photo):

Second Rule.
All of the building envelope (foundation, walls and roof) must be continuous, totally impervious to wind, and made of modern materials: foam block or aerocrete.

Third Rule.
To this house could live comfortably thermos people need a system of ventilation with heat recovery (Preservation) of heat: it gives the inflow of clean air, but it heats the room from the intake old air.

Rule Four.
It is necessary to place all of the supporting structures inside the thermal circuit to avoid cold bridges.

Rule Five.
To conserve power consumption cottage must be equipped with smart home system: heaters with thermostats, heating, depending on the presence / absence of people's homes, as well as lighting the lamp on the photoelectric effect or a sensor of movement
