Ecological solutions

Firstly the facade wooden board siding of this ecological house was painted with “Biopin” paint which is made of natural oils. Facade siding is done in larch wood boards that justifies its cost compared to usual pine or spruce wood boards with its longevity. Thus requiring maintenance work after a longer time. Secondly cellulose and wood fibre wool are used for insulation. “Nibe” brand heat pump provides for underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiator heating on the first floor. Thirdly roofing is done with clay tiles.  Sewage is treated with a biological treatment equipment. The indoor environment is regulated by mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. It saves up to 90% of energy consumption for heating.
