ECO HOUSE PLANS

Eco House Plans contains more than 300 floor and elevations plans, as well as constructive details of 36 ecological architecture projects. The specific criteria for a project, location, setting, type, morphology and orientation, are generating protection to the main climatic factors: sun, wind, and heat. These concepts determine the potential of the site for passive bioclimatic building control, and thus optimally used renewable energy sources such as solar radiation, wind, water or vegetation. The greatest benefit is to be had through projects in which the resources and materials are consciously used and the pressure on global energy is reduced by using renewable energy resources, non mechanical ventilation systems, like cross-ventilation, and taking advantage of natural light to new insulation and self-supplying energy systems.

Eco House Plans contiene más de 300 planos de plantas, secciones, bocetos y alzados, así como detalles constructivos de un total de 36 proyectos de arquitectura ecológica. Los criterios de un proyecto, ubicación, entorno, tipología, morfología y orientación, son los que generan protección a los factores climáticos principales: sol, viento y fuentes de calor. Estos conceptos determinan el potencial del emplazamiento para el control bioclimático pasivo del edificio, y utilizar así de forma óptima las fuentes energéticas renovables como son la radiación solar, el viento, el agua o la vegetación. A través de un proyecto consciente en el uso de los recursos y de los materiales se maximiza el beneficio obtenido y se disminuye la presión energética global mediante la utilización de energías renovables, sistemas no mecánicos de ventilación, como la ventilación cruzada, el aprovechamiento de la luz natural o nuevos sistemas de aislamiento y abastecimiento energético.
