About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

Modern advances in construction have led us to the implementation and building of structures with very low energy balance. In modern construction, we thus encounter low-energy, passive and other houses with very low energy consumption for heating in winter periods and cooling in summer periods. In creating such a house, we are also assisted by the ** Eco Fund** with its financial incentives, as construction is 20-30% more expensive compared to conventional building. As proof that energy consumption in such a house is indeed low, he presented a calculation of electrical energy for one year of living in and using the house.

Problem

Modern advances in construction have led us to the implementation and building of structures with very low energy balance. In modern construction, we thus encounter low-energy, passive and other houses with very low energy consumption for heating in winter periods and cooling in summer periods. We are guided towards such an energy balance by modern construction technology, building materials, components and devices for achieving this type of structure.

In this case, he focused on a low-energy house (LEH), which has all the components installed according to all guidelines and instructions to achieve such construction. As we know, the use of fossil fuels in new buildings is inappropriate, and in existing ones wasteful and ecologically questionable, which is why we are increasingly turning to the use of ** renewable energy sources (RES)**. It is particularly important to involve experienced and established experts in the field of such construction from the very beginning, as otherwise it is difficult to achieve the desired low-energy house.

Solution and Method

In creating such a house, we are also assisted by the Eco Fund with its financial incentives, as construction is 20-30% more expensive compared to conventional building. In the diploma thesis, the achievement of low-energy house (LEH) values is presented theoretically and practically on a completed structure. Heating with a ground/water heat pump (HP), surface heating with underfloor heating and ventilation with heat recovery are presented.

Results

As proof that energy consumption in such a house is indeed low, he presented a calculation of electrical energy for one year of living in and using the house.
