Most Important Goals Achieve a high level in a building bioclimatic based compound semi-detached houses, to show that they can achieve high energy efficiency, which type of apartment block private development. To achieve a high sustainable level in a building based compound semi-detached houses. Getting very cheap building sustainable housing bioclimatic private development. 2. Architectural Solution The building is a set of terraced houses and terraced, but with a structure similar to the twinning association of minerals. Each house is independent of the others, but has been composed as an extension of the same non-repeating geometric structure. The orientation of the site is very bad, and solar homes must belong to different and independent from each other. Therefore, the houses are staggered, recessed each other in order to allow the passage of solar radiation to most travelers. The houses are self-regulating solar heat input by controlling the geothermal underfloor heating and underground geothermal system architecture. 3. Sustainable Analysis 1. Resource Optimization 1.1. Natural Resources. They take full advantage of resources such as the sun (to generate hot water and provide natural lighting to all households), the breeze, the land (to cool the housing), rain water (reserve water tanks for watering the garden), Heather for shading of the roof gardens ... .. On the other hand, has installed water saving devices on taps, showers and tanks of the complex. 1.2. Resources made. The materials used are maximized, reducing potential waste through proper project and effective management (concrete, precast concrete blocks lighter, ceramic tile, woodwork, painting, ...). 1.3. Resources recovered, reused and recycled. The vast majority of building materials can be recovered (flooring, woodwork, glass, wood beams, girders, deck, walkways, cabinets, wood coatings, sunscreens, health ...). Even some of the supporting structure-based lightweight concrete precast panels can be recovered and reused in the construction of a new building. On the other hand, has promoted the use of recycled and recyclable materials such as polypropylene water pipes, drain pipes of polyethylene, OSB plywood boards for interior doors, plywood panels for coatings, recycled glass countertop kitchen and windows, etc ... 2. Decreased energy consumption 2.1. Construction. The building has been constructed with minimal energy consumption. The materials used were manufactured with a minimum amount of energy. 2.2. Use Due to its characteristics bioclimatic homes have a very low energy consumption standard. The houses are heated by greenhouse gases and an efficient underfloor geothermal heating. The hot water is generated by solar heating of the sensors built into the south facade of the whole. The homes are cooled by geothermal architectural systems, mechanical systems and do not require conditioning, so no energy consumption. 2.3. Dismantling The vast majority of materials used can be easily recovered for reuse in the construction of another building (flooring, woodwork, glass, wood beams, girders, deck, walkways, cabinets, wood coatings, sunscreens, pergolas heather, health ...). 3. Using alternative energy sources The energy used is of two types: solar thermal (solar captors to produce the ACS), and geothermal energy (geothermal mechanical system for floor heating, and architectural system to cool the air, taking advantage of existing low temperatures underground, in the underground tunnels beneath the garage). 4. Reduced waste and emissions The houses do not generate any emissions and do not generate any waste, except organic. 5. Improving health and wellbeing All materials used are environmentally friendly and healthy and have no emissions that can affect human health. Similarly, the dwellings are naturally ventilated, and maximize natural lighting, which creates a healthy environment and provides the best possible quality of life for building occupants. 6. Reduced price of the building and maintenance The homes have been designed rationally, eliminating redundant items, unnecessary or gratuitous, allowing construction to a conventional price, despite the ecological equipment 4. Highlights Innovations - Geothermal hot water for radiant floor heating. - Natural ventilation system through the porous walls that allow the heating without energy losses, and no condensation of water (because the environment in which homes are located is extremely wet).
