house heating

[MS]

Speaking at the formal opening of a demonstration "passive" house, Minister Dick Roche said, "I'm confident that this demonstration passive house will attract wide interest among innovative designers, builders and the general construction industry". The house is situated near Wicklow town. The design and monitoring of the house was sponsored by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI).

The "passive" house taps and contains heat from natural sources inside and outside the house through the use of:

* solar panels in roof - which will provide 50% of domestic hot water needs;
* triple glazed windows - sized to take account of North/South orientation;
* heat recovery ventilation system - recovering heat from warm air leaving house and using it to heat cold air entering the house; and
* very high levels of internal and external insulation.

Minister Roche noted that: "the passive house is claimed to be capable of being lived in, without a conventional heating system! The house is expected to use jsut 10% of the energy of a normal house to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature all year round". The passive house is estimated to cost 10% more to build than a conventional house, but this is claimed to be recovered from savings in heat energy bills.

"These are big claims - even in our temperate climate - especially as we have bouts of severe cold weather, snow and ice", added Minister Roche. The Minister therefore welcomed the involvement of the Energy Research Group, UCD in closely monitoring the house over the next 2 years, which will involve 34 sensors strategically located around the house

Классно, конечно. Только я привык когда в таких тонах говорят о том что очередную орбитальную станцию запустят... bouts of severe cold weather, snow and ice ... 34 sensors strategically located. Стеклопакеты надо нормальные ставить, тогда 2х за глаза хватит. И эти вентиляциооные щели над окнами и в стенах - наверняка запантентованы

:D :D :D :D

Мне вот это понравилось - натуральные ресурсы что будут отапливать дом надо полагать я и моя семья ? Или министр сам придет греть его своей тушкой ?

Ага, и стратегично потеряны при продаже вместе с датчиками
Бывают же такие жуткие идиоты

ну кстати батареи на крыше тут стоят у народа много где, я сам видел. не знаю уж имеет ли это какой-то экономический смысл. да и в смысле экологии еще фиг знает - они же изнашиваются, их тоже утилизировать надо с массой неприятных отходов наверняка.

А вы кстати заметили, что газ на 26% подорожал с октября Угу, я сказал тоже самое
