Protection Against Fuel Poverty. The ultra-low heating demands of a Nutech solar Passive House means that space heating costs are greatly reduced. Experience shows that some householders are so comfortable that they can do without heating entirely.
NuTech Solar Passive House delivers exceptional internal air quality • Throughout the year continuous fresh filtered air is delivered to occupants through the heat recovery ventialtion system, which ensures a healthy indoor environment and has been shown to substantially reduce the risk and instances of asthma.
NuTech Solar Passive House delivers exceptional internal thermal comfort. Variations in temperature throughout the home are greatly reduced so even on the coldest days the areas beside windows are warm and comfortable and there are no draughts. Keeping houses cool and comfortable in high temperatures is a challenge. Like a thermos flask, The NuTech Solar Passive House keeps what’s inside warm or cool longer. So on a hot summer’s day, a NuTech Solar Passive House with appropriate ventilation, shading and thermal mass will be more comfortable than a standard building with a less insulation and higher infiltration (more draughts and leaks).
Disruption of electricity supply may become more prevalent in the future. NuTech Solar Passive House buildings offer far higher resilience, survivability and comfort in extreme conditions. In the event of a prolonged power supply interruption, the risks associated with hypothermia in the winter or heatstress in the summer are significantly reduced; either of these extremes can be life-threatening to the elderly or infirm.
Long Term Investment. As each and every part i.e window, door and ventilation pipe plays its part in the building’s energy strategy attention to detail is vital. The combination of thermal bridge-free construction, airtight junctions and high specification glazing 9i.e triple glazed windows), doors and fabric means that Solar Passive Houses are robust and durable and ‘feel’ high quality.
NuTech Solar Passive House is the most economic approach to Zero Carbon buildings . If you build a NuTech Solar Passive House you can save €25,000.00on the cost normally associated with a passive house
