Build for the future - ecological construction of buildings
The prices for heat and electric energy produced from fossil raw materials will climb more in astronomical heights in the next years despite the current economic crises. Therefore it is a permanent task to think about ways the saving energy and enhancing the use of renewable energies. Especially this is a taskl of doing proper construction work. Anyone who would ecologically like to build should already think about the integration of heat pumps and solar plants in the planning phase.
Building ecologically means also to avoid natural materials which can damage the environment at the erosion or the dismantling and last utilization. Meanwhile, many building materials - even natural origin - are considered being harmful to health, if not even classified carcinogenically. Asbestos is such an example, which now may be disposed only in special packing. Anoother aspect is that valuable tree populations shall stay as much as possible and the new areas shall not be planned where an intact forest provides the absorption of the carbon dioxide.
For solar plants one can use 2 ways: Either the thermal radiation of the sun is captured about tube collectors and brought in in the heating circulation of the house or one produces his own energy current with solar power. Also heat pump systems are integral parts of the environment wholesome style meanwhile. One can withdraw the energy from the sewage for example and feed in the warm water supply over a heat exchanger in the heating circulation or. One also can use the geothermal energy with heat exchanger well. Who checks in parallel still the outer skin of the building sensibly and takes care also for windows and doors that they achieve high checking values can save a whole lot of heating energy.
Ecologically builds heard the utilization of rain water for the keyword also? Roofing tiles on which hardly any dirt stands out by a special coating are available in the trade now. This investment is worthwhile because one can use the rain water which is of the roof draining away and filtered for the toilet flush or the washing machine connection so. The latter has just another advantage: often, the drinking water shows high degrees of hardness from the line which endangers machines by lime deposits and requires higher quantities to detergent. Rain water is considerably softer. One can save detergent and conditioner there.
