The construction technology that makes life easier, cheaper and of better quality!
ÖKOHAUS GER offers energy solutions that operate within the energy imprint of the building to improve its energy efficiency, its resources saving and the environmental protection.
Our goal is to improve the energy performance of the building and to reduce the consumption of energy, using appropriate techniques, with the equivalent economic and environmental benefits.
“Living in a passive home can be compared to a house in the countryside, with peacefulness, clean air, open windows and perfect temperature conditions. It is a current achievement of the present, which with absolute certainty we say will replace buildings as we have been knowing them so far”.
The secret lies in the way of construction of the building that provides huge energy savings.
Simply putting it, the home gets 'stuffed' from heat or cool very easily and it takes a lot of time for it to ‘go hungry’ again.
The utmost energy saving is also associated with the top quality of living within the home (no moisture, no mold, no dust, excellent ventilation), which the particular method of construction of passive buildings ensures.

The approach of a home as a single system
Just as nature has a reciprocal relationship with all of its components, so does your home, with its components and the materials that make it up.
The efficiency and reactions of a component are directly related to all other components found in the same system. The living of the tenants, the ventilation and the heating, the components of your home, the construction materials and their assemblage, all interact. A single change affects the rest.
Today's homes are built with more and more demands, but a false conversion done without the required knowledge, can lead to a waste of energy, money, and a catastrophic failure in the system with a direct impact on health problems.
The 5 fundamental principles:
“Home Sweet Home”
Our home should be the place of our comfort and safety. In most homes, the tenants are not aware of the lack of comfort and safety. The rooms tend to be very hot or very cold, with many air currents, full of allergens, or worse, with chemicals at home found in the construction materials for which the owners are unaware of!
At ÖKOHAUS GER human comfort is our primary priority. All of our projects start and end with this definition.
The building technology takes construction to the next level considering and examining all aspects of construction.
Understanding the thermal limits, the dynamic flow of the air, the use of materials and the chemical substances that they produce and exhale, and the effectiveness of the planning system in the pre-construction and post-construction stages, all lead to the achievement of our ultimate goal which is the human living and comfort.
The majority of energy and in particular the 44% of its use by the occupants of a house, goes to the heating of the house. Another 44% goes to water heating. Much of this energy is wasted in the cooling and heating systems that were installed without the required studies.
Studies have revealed that the average home system wastes 33% of its loss of energy. This can reduce the overall performance of the house by 50%. This means that the energy system of a home must be run twice or work twice to do the same job. With the required knowledge, a good design and testing, this phenomenon can be greatly reduced.
When a house is designed as effective as possible, then we can examine the renewable energy resources as well.
Renewable energy resources can consist of solar photovoltaic systems, passive solar water heating systems, wind turbines, or a geothermal system.
Knowledge and application of appropriate passive and active systems.
Passive solar is the appropriate and correct design for the use and exploitation of solar energy for the heating and cooling purposes of a home.
The right orientation of the house, the lines of the roof, the windows, and the embellishment of the landscape can save you thousands of euros during the year regarding the energy sector.
