Spain: Single-family house with air source heat pump

Today, more and more people are looking to change their traditional heating systems for one that is more efficient and environmentally friendly. In this example we show you a case of change a diesel boiler for an air source heat pump . The air source heat pump is a very efficient and renewable system that uses the energy of the environment to heat or cool the house, as well as to heat the domestic hot water. This is why it is considered a system based on renewable energies. Thanks to the use of energy from the outside air, efficiencies of 300% to 400% are achieved, which means big savings in the heating bill.

Portugal: Villa Algarve

In order to reduce their high energy costs, the owner of this house decided to install an EcoGEO HP3 12-40kW heat pump. The system uses aerothermal capture, and distribution was achieved through a combination of underfloor heating and fancoils. Currently the heat pump is only needed to cool the house, but after the first few months of operation, the results are already exceptional. The SPF of the system is 6.2, a sensational figure considering the high outside temperature of the place where it is located.

Spain: 42 buildings in Alcorcón

The construction sector, as an important energy consumer, is evolving rapidly towards greater efficiency. That is the reason why the housing cooperative Scaya Alcorcón Sociedad Cooperativa Madrileña, as promoter of the project developed by NOIR Arquitectura, has established requirements for high energy efficiency and savings for the HVAC system and production of domestic hot water of the 42 Single Family Homes Adosadas en the municipality of Alcorcón in Madrid, whose construction has recently started Bauensa Constructora SA. Akiter Renovables S.L., In collaboration with the energy engineering company Gbingener Siglo XXI, has designed the system of air conditioning and production of sanitary hot water using as a generation geothermal heat pumps with radiant-cooling floor as a system.

Turkey: Aquasis Didim

Aquasis is a luxury resort with Spa, located next to the sea with more than 660 rooms, restaurant, giant pool and even a water park. This hotel has a multitude of activities, sports and even live performances.

This luxury hotel located in Turkey has been converted to renewable energy to heat its facilities. With the installation of 4 ecoGEO heat pumps HP 25-100 that produce up to a power of 400kW gets to heat, cool and heat the hot water of the entire resort, this is achieved thanks to the Ecoforest supervisor we get up to 6 heat pumps work simultaneously reaching up to 600 kW, thus being able to satisfy the cold and heat needs of high consumption facilities.

In addition to achieving significant savings compared to the old heating method, we managed to reduce CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere to a great extent, taking care of our planet.

Spain: Eimos School

The new pre-school located in Mos uses geometry and natural occouring themes to encompass all its students. The long fragmented roof strips allow light to pour in the south side, providing the building with an abundance of natural light in all interior spaces. Well lit and ventilated, it’s a building in which children can enjoy nature protected by the outer circle and completely disconnected from the industrial estate. All the classrooms are oriented to the South and have direct access to the outdoor leisure area. The project was led by Estefanía Grandal (Encaixe Arquitectura yIngeniería), Faustino Patiño and Juan Prieto. The work has been executed by the construction company Misturas, for the network of nursery schools of the Xunta de Galicia, Galiña Azul.
