Smart Biohouse

Energy self-sufficient biohouse in Feltre in class A, taking advantage of the superbonus

The renovation of the single house in Feltre made it possible to obtain a house that is as autonomous as possible from an energy point of view, which guarantees comfort and health all year round and can be easily managed from a Smartphone via an App.

The challenge

The owner of a 160 m2 house on 2 floors in the province of Belluno wanted to transform his 1950s traditionally built house into an energy self-sufficient biohouse that would provide him and his family with maximum comfort and clean air all year round.

The solution

The house is built with a prefabricated wood-frame system, reducing energy requirements. The main insulation is wood fibre and the external insulation is rock wool.
The solution for comfort was the installation of a complete Clivet system in which all the elements are designed to communicate with each other and be managed by a centralised control, which allows the optimisation of the available resources, always favouring the most energy sustainable one based on

  • Heat pump with inverter technology and low GWP R32 refrigerant SPHERA EVO 2.0 for heating, cooling with radiant system and production of domestic hot water with 250 litre storage tank;
  • ELFOFresh EVO air renewal and purification system with integrated electronic filter active on nanoparticles, PM10, pollen, fumes, viruses and bacteria and active thermodynamic recovery of the energy contained in exhaust air. This unit is used as the main generator in mid-season and in summer it operates as a dehumidifier, a fundamental element in combination with radiant panels
  • Humidity and temperature sensors in each room to ensure ideal comfort in every area of the house
  • Control4 NRG centralised control of all rooms in the house for heating, cooling and air quality
  • 5 kW photovoltaic panels connected to a 15 kW photovoltaic energy storage to favour self-consumption instead of feeding the excess energy produced by the photovoltaic panels into the grid during the day.

The ClivetEye remote monitoring App allows to manage the whole house from smartphone.
 


Owner's comment:

"Thanks to the Clivet complete system, I achieved my goal: a house as autonomous as possible from the energy point of view, which would guarantee me comfort and health all year round and which I could also manage via App to come home and find the right temperature even after a holiday period."
The house is class A.
