Solar-Active House in Carinthia

"The solar-active house is a further development of the passive house with significantly improved living comfort." This is how Georg W. Reinberg  Dipl. Ing., the architect of the solar-active house,  describes his revolutionary creation.

Revolutionary because this is the first time the energy requirements for annual heating and hot water have been covered by solar energy alone. How does that work? By using healthy building materials (wood, loam, cellulose), minimising heat loss and maximising solar yields. The energy generated is converted into room heating or cooling  in summer as well as into hot water and electricity.

For optimum comfort and style the solar-active house is equipped with Variotherm floor heating and module wall heating. The advantage: the latter ensures that  living areas are kept pleasantly cool on hot summer days using cold water and a solar-operated  absorption refrigerator.
