Advantages of ClimateHouse

Advantages of ClimateHouse
Whoever decides upon a KlimaHaus construction, whether for a new building or a renovation project, can count on many advantages. The low energy cost of KlimaHaus construction has advantages of living quality reflected both in everyday life and in business use. KlimaHaus is also a solution to the unrestrained hunger for energy that characterises humanity and has literally burned up the last fossil fuel reserves. KlimaHaus is an everyday form of environmental protection that pays for itself, both on the planet Earth and in your pocketbook.

There are at least seven reasons to consider KlimaHaus construction. A KlimaHaus building is energy-conscious, comfortable, environmentally friendly and health-promoting, economically profitable, free of construction damage and enhances property values.

7 Reasons for a ClimateHouse building

1. Energy-conscious
A KlimaHaus building is characterised by its very low energy requirements: it saves heating costs, improves housing comfort and increases the long-term value of the building. Three components are particularly important: effective insulation of the entire exterior, thermal protection glazing that allows and maximal light penetration with very little escaping heat, and largely airtight construction.


2. Comfortable
Well-insulated walls not only relieve the wallet, but improve comfort. A thermally-insulated exterior can raise surface temperatures while simultaneously lowering ambient temperature. This enhances comfort while minimising energy usage. A well-insulated exterior is also an important factor in summer, when it prevents overheating.

3. Environmentally friendly
Heating systems rank among the largest causes of air pollution. A KlimaHaus A building saves about 80 percent of heating energy compared to traditional building methods, and less air is polluted. Apart from lower emission of dust, Carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons, output of environmentally damaging gases is reduced. Energy-efficient construction is therefore a concrete contribution to environmental protection.

4. Health-promoting
We spend 90 percent of our lives in enclosed spaces, so the quality of our dwellings has a crucial effect on our health.

5. Economic
Heating costs can be reduced radically through insulation. Nearly 70 percent of a household’s energy costs is spent on heating. For example, it costs 6000 euros to insulate an entire dwelling, but the corresponding heating cost is thus reduced by 680 euros per year, as about 850 litres of oil can be saved. This savings corresponds to an interest rate of about 11%, while thermal insulation increases construction costs by about 2%.

6. Free of Construction Damage
The first step in KlimaHaus construction is careful planning, particularly with regard to the building and energy-related technical details. This requires attention to professional execution. The usual construction damage is not present in a KlimaHouse building.

7. Increased Value
The fact that a building may be renovated after just 15 to 20 years, while the exterior should not be touched for 30 to 60 years, it is necessary to use high-quality construction and insulation materials. The corresponding expenditures are investments in the future.
