Description
Single family home in Rupia, Girona, Catalonia, designed by the Nordest Arquitectura and built by Evowall. The building was designed to meet PHI Low Energy Building standard, with Oliver Style and Bega Clavero of Praxis Resilient Buildings as Passivhaus consultants.
The home is built with the Evowall steel-frame prefabricated construction system, consisting of a proprietary low-conductivity mortar, EPS and PIR insulation, with the outer walls rendered or finished with rammed earth blocks.
Timber window frames and low-e argon filled solar control glazing make up the openings.
Ventilation is with a Zehnder balanced mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery.
Heating and cooling are with an air-to-air mini VRF Panasonic heat pump with five ducted indoor split units. Domestic Hot Water is supplied by a Panasonic air-to-water heat pump.
A roof-mounted 8,1 kWp solar PV generator generates a projected 92% of the home’s total energy consumption.
