Energiekosten sparen und den Komfort erhöhen: Schulen, Kindergärten, Hallenbäder, Supermärkte, Krankenhäuser, auch Nichtwohngebäude können hoch energieeffizient realisiert werden. Davon profitieren wir alle. Mehr dazu auf der Wissensplattform Passipedia: https://ow.ly/ScPk50TUljo Fotos: © Klinikum Frankfurt Höchst & Exeter City Council

During their trip, #PassiveVoyage (IG Passivhus Sverige) visited an #EnerPHit renovation in Edinburgh, where architects Sarah and Michael transformed a 1950s terraced house into an #EnergyEfficient haven. They added an extra floor, extended the living room, and insulated every detail to eliminate thermal bridges. Now airtight, the home features triple-glazed windows and a custom ventilation system, reducing CO2 levels from 2200 ppm to 600 ppm in the bedroom. The vibrant pastel interiors reflect the family’s joy in their sustainable living space. This transformation proves that energy efficiency can lead to a happier, healthier home!

Bald Versorgung zu 100 % mit erneuerbar gewonnener Energie. Das muss auch bei der Energiebilanzierung unserer Gebäude berücksichtigt werden! Daher muss der Verbrauch der Primärenergie ERNEUERBAR (renewable) bilanziert werden = PEr. Nicht nur lediglich der Primärenergie (PE). https://ow.ly/uVPl50TsWgF Foto: Pixabay
