Savings - Heating and Cooling

Is important to note that an adequate design using both, passive and active, energy conditioning systems can make unnecessary a cooling system and reduce very substantially the need for heating. And if we join these with some support systems for generating energy from renewable energy we'll see further more decreases in conventional energy use.

Ask for a low energy consumption bioclimatic construction.

In any case, whatever your home design, we recommend you these tips to save on heating and cooling:

• Installation of a good thermal insulation in windows, ceilings and walls will help you spend a lot less energy. The order of importance in isolation you have - roof, walls and floor, with the best position of that insulation on the outside of the wall that seeks to isolate avoiding as far as possible thermal bridges that can generate condensation and various problems arising from them.
• Install double windows. Verifies closures doors and windows. This isolate from thermal and noise and you will save energy. (For a soundproofing optimal use double glazing with different thickness)
• It's enough to ventilate a room 10 or 15 minutes. Do not open windows with the air conditioning or heating on.
• The temperature welfare within a home is 20 ° C in winter and 25 ° C in summer.
• Do not abuse the air conditioning. It is harmful to health and each grade represents an 8% less over energy consumption.
• Nor abuses of heating. Damaging health and every degree over accounts for 5% more consumption of energy. The heating should be shut down overnight.
• Use the sun at your convenience, leave it enter in winter, opening blinds and curtains, and avoid it in summer, taking advantage of the shade of awnings, blinds and greenery.
