Aspects regarding the use of Sustainable Energy for Building a Passive House

pdf PDF

ABSTRACT

The paper presents a solution to introduce sustainable efficient energy concept for passive office building with the use of neopor insulated concrete forms – ICF. We want to show that it is possible to build houses with many advantages by introducing in building projects a new concept of passive house standard. Houses that are built by this very simple solution have obtained an environmentally friendly impact and an energy efficient result. In the current context of climate change, a revolution is required in the field of design and construction. Among the energy efficiency standards currently existing in the EU, we chose the “Passive Building” standard to apply it to the specific conditions of Romania, the Arges area. An extremely interesting experience in which we applied the concept in a holistic manner, speculating on every small advantage obtained from the site conditions, relief, orientation to the cardinal points, existing constructions and vegetation. Creativity and innovation played an extremely important role in obtaining a result of maximum energy efficiency, which also made possible the certification of the building by the Passivhaus Institute "Dr. W. Feist" Darmstadt Germany. The building meets the standards of ecological construction with a low level of pollution, and which fully uses energy from renewable sources.
