Alternatives to the Passive House

The average temperatures in Majorca are approximately 8-10 degrees higher than in central Europe, sunshine is stronger, and there is no ground frost. Nevertheless, the same energy consumption is used as in Germany, for example. Due to the high humidity, the room temperature must be 2 degrees higher, so that a pleasant atmosphere is in place. In Summer, cooling also comes into play.

All systems, which turn sunrays into energy, are suitable. This could be solar panels, or panels placed in the earth. Energy stored in such a manner can be used for the heating of water, room heating as well as cooling. In all cases a decision needs to be made, which system or which combination of systems should be deployed.
