The buildings of tomorrow must be efficient in terms of resources, and in particular energy, facilitating the use of renewable energy resources and requiring the least external energy to function. For the construction of the homes, only environmentally friendly materials should be used, that can be easily recycled or reused, that do not contain hazardous substances and which can be safely disposed.
They must also be adapted to the local climate and the surrounding area. The choice of the materials must be done by taking into account even longer-term considerations, such as maintenance costs, durability and even resale prices.
The buildings of tomorrow must simultaneously provide healthy living conditions and offer their owners substantial savings in relation to other constructions.
Our company specializes in the design and manufacture of:
Moreover...
1. Definition of the project in accordance with its purpose
The exact features of the work must be entirely determined based on the needs and requirements of the owner or the user of this. This perhaps is the most important step since that way the building will fulfil the purpose for which it was constructed.
2. Bioclimatic Design
According to the local conditions (proper orientation choice, climatic conditions, topography and the type of soil as well as the proper utilisation of the surrounding area of the residence).

3. Choice of ecological (green) materials
Whether a material will be characterized as eco-friendly and green, this depends on some key elements such as the raw materials which were mainly used, the life cycle of these as well as the energy consumed for the extraction, the production and the transfer of the end product. Thus, ecological construction recommends the use of materials whose raw materials are abundant and which can be biodegraded after they are being removed.

4. Choice of active and passive systemsν
The purpose of eco-design is the thermal, visual and acoustic comfort combined with the aesthetics and the quality of space, having as a first objective the energy saving and the preservation of the environment.
A. Passive systems - proper selection of materials
B. Active - proper selection of materials
The high thermal and waterproofing indices of our homes, protect them from moisture and temperature changes and give the construction unlimited lifetime eliminating the need for maintenance.
The Sustainable, low energy, eco-homes of ÖKOHAUS GER reduce the unnecessary energy consumption, the greenhouse gas emissions and the requirements for non-renewable energy resources. Simultaneously, they provide healthy living conditions and offer their owners substantial savings compared to other or similar type structures.
