Iglutech | Paolo Ricco'

The characteristic shape of IGLUTECH houses takes inspiration directly from nature. The sphere, in fact, has the best surface / volume ratio of any other geometric form: that is why the Saguaro and Grusoni cactus survive in the desert while maintaining constant internal conditions facing a strong temperature change between night and day. The sphere, and the arc in general, have another characteristic that distinguishes them: the forms are structurally more stable available. Just think of the buildings of the ancient Romans or the domes of churches that stand thousands of years still in excellent condition. The construction material used for IGLUTECH homes is EPS (expanded polystyrene Sintered) that is a high performance material. Thanks to its low thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, homogeneous density and high mechanical strength, allows to be used both as thermal insulation and as a freestanding structure. Moreover, thanks to its proven effectiveness as an insulating material, the EPS plays a crucial role in the economy as it contributes to energy savings of fuel used for heating by reducing carbon dioxide emissions during the winter and a reduction in consumption of electrical energy for the use of refrigeration units during the summer. Since the IGLUTECH homes use polystyrene Ds 20 kg/mc as a building material, we get a better thermal insulation. Moreover, thanks to its dome shape, IGLUTECH homes allow air to circulate by convection without being accumulated in the corners. For these reasons, they greatly reduced both the costs of packaging and those of heating. Not only IGLUTECH homes are more stable due to their shape, but, unlike wood, they do not need annual maintenance, do not rot and do not attract termites. The construction of IGLUTECH homes takes place by pre-assembled pieces. The weight of a piece is 40 to 80 kg and it is possible to build a house in about seven days with a minimum of three persons. IGLUTECH homes are easy to assemble, the only variables are the time and its location. Since EPS is composed of carbon and hydrogen, it is very clean. There are no waste productionon site. CFC-free, since it is not present the formaldehyde it does not destroy the ozone layer of the Earth, there is no need to worry about the disposal of the same at the end of its life cycle. Foundation works are performed according to the design of the Iglutech house and following the construction. The slab must have within it the predisposition to be s electrical system is in the water. The realization of a tank for sewage o and his services are placed at € ™ outside.
