The building envelope is optimally insulated. Heat is won directly via solar and indirectly via earth heat exchangers. Even waste heat by appliances or body heat warms the house. The necessary air exchange in a low energy house is guaranteed with an air handling system with waste heat recovery. The constant enforced air exchange creates a pleasant atmosphere, heats or cools a room, and keeps damp at bay. You are never aware of a feeling of drafts.. Unfortunately the notion of an eco-friendly house in Mallorca can only be deployed with certain provisos in mind. The high humidity means that the drawn air must be treated and dehumidified. This leads to a higher energy need than compared to those used in central Europe. One other thing lacking in an eco-house, which is not permanently lived in, is the necessary energy supply. |
