It has been possible to eliminate the entire traditional air conditioning system such as underfloor heating, radiators or fan coils, and the network of ventilation ducts is used for air conditioning . Logically, this represents significant savings while achieving extremely high comfort, since the air flow rate of the ventilation system is very low and therefore neither air currents nor noise are produced. This 100x100 wood “air conditioning” system, which would be equivalent to heating and air conditioning in any other conventionally built home, has generated an average monthly expense for a full year of €21.40/month, using the office/showroom like a normal home, so the efficiency of this system is confirmed in figures. average consumption-electricity-passivhaus Conclusions: We constantly see on television the sad cases of Energy Poverty , and the solution that is usually adopted to minimize energy expenditure is to study the way in which homes spend less, for example: more efficient appliances , putting on washing machines at specific times , changing the switch to low-consumption light bulbs , use more efficient boilers , receive help to pay the electricity bill for some months, or delay the payment of said bills in the harshest cold months.
And we venture to ask, isn't it more sensible, in the case of new construction, to invest or force investment in the envelope of the building? That is, to force it to be built well , including in the construction process elements Angola Email List to improve insulation of the building or home. And on the other hand, wouldn't it be better for the Government to invest in helping to energy reform the homes already built ? In this way, they can get their owners to turn on the heating less when it is cold and thus reduce their electricity bill and will be able to spend decent winters. Perhaps the latter could be an option that administrations should consider as a solution for the most serious cases of energy poverty. We cannot forget the energy mortgage either , which is the monthly expense paid for the use of the home and living in it comfortably. This is where we want to emphasize that one day (more or less distant) we will finish paying the mortgage to the bank, but the energy mortgage is something that will accompany us throughout our lives.
As long as we use the home. And this is why we ask ourselves: why when we consider buying a house, we make numbers to know how much we are going to pay the bank each month and for how many years, and we do not make numbers of what the economic and savings difference will be. between living in an efficient house or a deficient one? Many times we are not aware of the importance of carrying out this approach, since the monthly expense of our home is surely something that will last as long as we use the home. We want to finish by saying that from the Passivhaus PEP Building Platform (Non-Profit Association) of Spain, of which we are members, we have been having meetings with public administrations for some time (such as the one that took place at the 8th Passivhaus Conference ) so that they include the PassivHaus standard within the regulations of each city or municipality, in order to systematically build well. In many European countries it is already mandatory to build under this energy efficiency standard , and we believe that Spain should take an example and begin to implement these measures as mandatory, so that in a few years we will see how cases of Energy Poverty decrease drastically. On the other hand, it is true that it is also possible to reduce the electricity bill by counting on companies that supply 100% of the electricity from renewable energies, as in our case, where we have Gesternova, which has the cheapest price per kW.
