TERMOLINE has completed in the year 2015 the RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH CENTER worth € 1,000,000, funded by structural funds – a “smartGreen” building where heating and air conditioning is done with Dimplex geothermal heat pumps  and T.A.B.S. Uponor (Thermally Activated Building Structures). The building has over 120 sensors (including geothermal probes at 110 m) and is subject to 3 year monitoring.

The concept : ”smartGreen” building

As a result of our research center, we developed a green building model, equipped with geothermal heat pump, intelligent, isolated according to the Passive House model (with an energy consumption of no more than 15 kWh / m² / year) on which we called it smartGreen.  The standards after which the  smartGreen house is built are:

• insulation is close to that of passive houses with respect to the avoidance of thermal bridges;
•  the building is equipped with the Dimplex Germany geothermal heat pump;
• heating – radiant air conditioning via T.A.B.S. ;
• Cooling is done in “passive cooling” system using geothermal wells temperature;
• the ventilation is provided by a Dimplex heat recovery unit, Passivhaus certified;
• shading system with aluminum horizontal exterior venetian blinds;
• the heating-air-conditioning system is automated with the home manager.                                 see more …
