ARIAL M6 Residential development - Architecture and environment |
|||
|
This residential development makes use of clean energy by means of the installation of solar thermal panels on the roof destined to the contribution of hot sanitary water and heating. Furthermore, the energetic efficiency has been optimised with the installation of underfloor heating through hidden hot water pipes, as a result, the hot running water heats the floor whilst providing uniform and comfortable warmth throughout the home. There are multiple advantages to this heating system as it reduces energy consumption remarkably in comparison |
to the traditional radiator-based systems, with no heating power loss, avoiding dust carbonisation and allowing for each interior to be designed without having to take radiators into account. The utilisation of glass in the façade and in the common areas for a better usage of natural light, the positioning of sun protection elements in the façade for the times of high exposure, water saving systems, the election of eco-efficient appliances and building materials whose production respects the environment are amongst the different aspects taken into account. |
