🏠 Did you know that the future of sustainable living is already here? Let's talk about the Passive House concept! Developed in Germany in the 90s, it's revolutionising how we build homes, focusing on energy efficiency, comfort, and affordability. Imagine a house that stays warm in winter without conventional heating! 🌞❄️ 🔍 Key Features: - High insulation levels & airtight envelopes - Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery - Minimising carbon footprint & ensuring indoor air quality 💰 Cost and Efficiency: - Initial costs may be higher, but long-term savings are significant - Up to 90% less energy required for heating compared to conventional homes 📏 Passive House Standards: - Space heating energy demand: ≤ 15Kwh/m2 - Airtightness requirement: ≤ 0.6 ACH - U-values: ≤ 0.15w/(m2k) 🌬️ Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery (MVHR): - Essential for buildings achieving ≤ 3 ACH - Provides continuous ventilation for a comfortable, condensation-free environment Join the conversation! Have you heard of Passive Houses before?

series.GreenHouse is the second project recently complimented by Kingspan in the architectural Microhome competition. Series.GreenHouse embodies three core principles: shelter, subsistence, and scale, within an efficient 25-square-meter design. It prioritizes shelter by offering essential amenities in a compact, affordable manner, ensuring minimal waste and long-term cost-effectiveness. Our Rainwater Harvesting SLIMLINE TANK is part of the building design. Beyond mere housing, the design incorporates subsistence by functioning as a greenhouse, enabling residents to grow their own food and support community nourishment. The principle of scale is addressed through a modular system that allows for adaptable living configurations, such as GreenHouse.0, GreenHouse.1, and GreenHouse.2, to meet diverse needs. Additionally, the project maximizes the use of small spaces and provides fresh produce to local communities, enhancing both sustainability and local food security.

🌿 Fun Fact Friday: Green Building Edition 🏗️ Did you know that green building practices can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower carbon emissions? Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of sustainable architecture with some fun and lesser-known facts! 🌟 Fact 1: Green roofs aren't just for looks – they also provide numerous environmental benefits! From reducing urban heat island effect to improving air quality and biodiversity, green roofs are a win-win for both buildings and the environment. 🌟 Fact 2: Green buildings often incorporate passive design strategies to minimize energy use. Features like orientation, shading, and natural ventilation can significantly reduce the need for mechanical heating and cooling, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint. 🌟 Fact 3: Indoor air quality is a crucial aspect of green building design. By using low-VOC paints, finishes, and adhesives, green buildings create healthier indoor environments free from harmful chemicals and pollutants, promoting occupant health and well-being. At GRN Vision, we're passionate about promoting sustainability and innovation in the built environment. Together, let's inspire and educate others about the importance of sustainable architecture. 🌱💡 🏡 Ready to make your next project sustainable and eco-friendly?
