New construction project: Casa Passiva, Mariano Comense An avant garde low-energy house – with environment-friendly solar technology by ELCO Something completely new and innovative with regard to ecological technology and domestic comfort – that was the central idea around which the “passive house” in Mariano Comense, a small town near Lake Como in the region of Lombardy, was built. At the same time, this project was a great challenge to all those involved in its planning, because it was unique with regard to energy- efficiency and energy saving. At the start of the planning phase, there were as yet no buildings of this kind in Lombardy – and therefore no reference data. ELCO’s contributions to this low-energy house project were an AQUATOP T heat pump for heating and warm water processing, and a solar installation on the roof of the house to heat the swimming-pool and for warm water. For this Builder Frigerio Aldo, Pier Giovanni Loc. Rogeno (LC) Location Via Pio X n. 25 Mariano Comense I-22066 Como purpose, 5 SOLATRON flat collectors with a total area of 10 m² were installed. To optimally catch the sun’s rays, the collectors were installed at an angle of 30°. BENEFITS Efficiency • Maximum yield, thanks to highly efficient full-surface copper absorbers • Maximum energy efficiency – corresponds to Energy Class A • Long lifetime Convenience • Self-supporting collector housing with closed aluminium tray • Hydraulically optimised modules, mounted vertically or horizontally • Simple transportation and easy installation through low weight of modules • Long-lived and reliable, made of high-quality components Savings • Energy requirement lowered to approx. 10 kWh per m² per year • Heavy reduction in general energy costs • Significant lowering of the CO2 emissions • Short “running warm” time; no wastage of water Planning Studio Ingegneria Benfatto Enrico, Via Capolino 29 I-23900 Lecco (LC) Installation TERMOISOVER IND. s.r.l.
