Optional Extras

Environment-friendly” concepts... By deciding to adopt bioclimatic architecture in the design and construction of your home, you are effectively increasing the energetic performance in the home to create more natural comfort. At the same time, this contributes towards actually reducing running costs.

• Central heating: Reduce your home’s contribution to CO2 emissions, while considerably reducing the cost of central heating!

This system produces odourless, transparent water which is stored in an underground 10,000 l. tank (or larger if required).
