CIRCUTOR attending the upcoming Passivhaus Portugal 2015 Conference on 27 and 28 November in the Portuguese town of Aveiro

The Passivhaus Portugal 2015 Conference, organised by the Associaçâo Passivhaus Portugal - PHPT (the Portuguese affiliate of the International Passive House Association), is scheduled for 27 and 28 November at the Aveiro Cultural and Conference Centre (Portugal).

At the event, CIRCUTOR will be giving a talk on "Passive House and electrical mobility", presented by CIRCUTOR's Renewable Energies Department Manager Pere Soria, who will speak about the possibilities of integrating electrical mobility with self-consumption in Passive House buildings.

 

 

What is a Passive House building?

Passive House buildings reduce heating and refrigeration needs by 75%. The little supplementary energy they require can easily be covered with renewable energies, making them very low-cost buildings in terms of energy for both their owners and the planet as a whole.

This standard does not require the use of any specific product, material or architectural style, but concerns itself with optimising existing resources through passive techniques such as: having a good form factor to reduce the surface area in exposed to the exterior to reduce air conditioning needs; correct orientation of windows to take advantage of the heat of the sun when they are closed and natural ventilation when they are open; and installing shading devices to prevent overheating in summer.
