They reduce the interior temperature of a building in summer to 5ºC, as well as keep it in winter, saving up to € 500 / m2 per year (Akira Hoyano, profesor del Tokyo Institute of Technology).
HCG Hot water, Heat and/or cold generation
It is important to replace Domestic Hot Water, heating and cooling systems using fossil fuels with others using renewable energy. It is advisable to install electrical systems and combine them with renewable energies.
Biomass heating is also a desirable low-carbon heating option because the carbon dioxide emitted when wood is burned is the same amount that was absorbed while the tree was growing. This process is sustainable so long as new plants continue to grow in place of those used for fuel. Meanwhile, the carbon emissions due to cultivation, manufacture and transportation will still be much lower than emissions from fossil fuels if you use a local source.

Technical solutions: Thermo-tek and Fire-teK
Knauf Insulation’s Thermo-teK® and Fire-teK® are mineal wool products for technical thermal insulation and passive fire protection in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). They use formaldehyde-free binding agent ECOSE® Technology. It allows to reduce energy consumption during manufacture and improve the energy balance of the finished product, thus providing excellent indoor air quality.
RES Renewable energies
It is important to replace Domestic Hot Water, heating and cooling systems using fossil fuels with others using renewable energy. It is advisable to install electrical systems and combine them with renewable energies. 24 m² of solar panels (south) convert solar energy into 4,800 kWh of electricity that can be used in the home or fed back to the main grid. Roofs with a southeasterly to southwesterly orientation are often very suitable for PV panels.

> KV SOLAR
Compact water heater and solar panel
The ‘compact’ systems have the solar collector and the water tank together. It is a passive system, which means that no pump or other external devices are necessary. It is a very good solution, if we do not have electricity available. The water is heated up directly by the solar collector, with almost no losses in the heat transfer from the solar panel to the water storage tank. The compact system is more simple (less components) and economical than a pumped one.
SHW Shading
In the summer months, overheating can occur since direct sunlight enters through the windows. It is important to avoid the latter, by using sunscreens such as overhangs, slats, awnings, blackout curtains or deciduous vegetation.

TIN Thermal Insulation
There are several ways to insulate buildings, both on the inside and outside (best option), and both of them will achieve a remarkable reduction in energy consumption, with greater comfort and lower costs. In existing buildings, roof insulation is often installed between purlins. Facade insulation can be improved by filling the cavity in the wall with insulation, but to create a well-insulated facade the most common solutions are insulating panels.
