The Eisbärhaus was designed as a passive building comprising two units. Building materials were selected according to guidelines provided by the Austrian environmental association Umweltverband Vorarlberger Gemeindehaus. All exterior walls consist of wooden timbers treated with flocculated cellulose to provide thermal insulation (layer thickness: 42cm). The commercial units are heated or cooled by using a technique called concrete core activation in combination with a reversible brine/water heat pump. Energy is extracted and stored in the ground. The ventilation system in the building is not connected to the heating system. Fresh air drawn into the building from outside is adjusted to room temperature in three steps before it is blown into the interior. To do this, energy from the air being extracted from the building is transferred to the pre-treated fresh air using a heat exchanger (heat recovery rate: 80-95%). The water for domestic use is heated by solar panels. Insofar as possible, electricity needed to operate the heat pump is generated by the solar units. Any systems with a bearing on energy use are managed by special software. The medium-term goal is energy self-sufficiency. |
