'Energy-free' apartments win global award
29/01/2018
AN APARTMENT block in the province of Zaragoza is the second in Spain to win the Passivhaus Certificate, a global energy-efficiency award given to residential properties which use little or no power.
Based across the borders of the towns of Valdespartera, Casablanca and Montecanal, the Residencial Scenia II is made up of 26 flats with as swimming pool, spread out over 13,576 square metres (33.5 acres) of land and is the brainchild of developers LOBE Group.
'Passive Houses' are homes which use practically no energy and supply themselves with power, with year-round indoor temperatures of 20ºC to 25ºC guaranteed without switching on any heating or air-conditioning apparatus.
They save about 90% on typical energy bills for standard residential properties, or 75% on new builds, as well as offering multiple benefits for comfort, health and quality of life, LOBE Group says.
