Sustainability pillars of the innovation'

  • Energy
  • Water

Subcategories

  • Heating and cooling systems: Solutions to optimize the use of heat or cold for space conditioning or water vessels.
  • Installation of heating pumps to optimize temperature control. - Replacement of old structures with energy-efficient frames for better insulation. -Addition of thermal facades to improve heat retention and reduce energy wastage.

Innovation description

The innovation focuses on optimizing temperature control and energy efficiency through three key upgrades:

Installation of Heating Pumps – Modern heat pumps replace outdated systems, utilizing heat transfer instead of direct generation, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

Replacement of Old Structures with Energy-Efficient Frames – New window and door frames with improved insulation properties minimize heat loss, ensuring stable indoor temperatures and reducing heating and cooling needs.

Addition of Thermal Facades – Insulated external facades enhance heat retention, reducing energy waste and improving thermal comfort.

Implementation: This requires planning, material selection, and skilled labor. The process includes assessing existing structures, removing outdated components, and installing new energy-efficient solutions.

Requirements: Investment in high-quality materials, compliance with energy regulations, and collaboration with engineers and contractors. The outcome is reduced energy consumption, lower emissions, and improved living conditions.
