already have the tank for water collection and reuse. In particular a reservoir rainwater harvesting FCI to 20,000 liters, the company Resmat . It is made of polyester reinforced fiberglass and includes a filter for particles larger than 0.55 mm. It also incorporates an input for gay, anti-turbulence inlet for water and an overflow to remove excess water.
has been placed under what will be the greenhouse soil. In the reservoir water will collect rain, shower and bathroom sink, for reuse in watering the garden.
After much research we have chosen the Resmat tank, as it has a great value. This deposit is reformed so as to bury it and is very well done. Besides dealing with business and technical information and assistance they have provided has been excellent.
drain tubes we used in the structure are made of polypropylene (PP), namely ecological sanitation system POLO-ECO PLUS 160mm SN8. in diameter. These tubes are manufactured by tr layers of PP is free of halogens and heavy metals. They are high resistant nci ay 1 00% recyclable. In addition there are a variety of sizes and accessories.
Other alternatives: The other option, which is currently the most widely used in construction, are tubes of polyvinyl d and Vinyl (PVC) multilayer. PVC is a material difficult to recycle, also during their manufacture and use are pouring large amounts of dioxins to water and air, being one of the most polluting plastic. Much of this problem is due to the use of chlorine for processing. Chlorine atoms can join to form organochlorine compounds, these compounds tend to bioacumulars and in animal tissues to be poorly metabolizable. The organochlorine can act as endocrine disruptors affect the reproductive, immune and endocrine systems.

for over a month since I updated the blog, since no progress was made as far as building is concerned. Although this does not mean that the activity has stopped. As we discussed in the previous post, we are requesting budgets, looking for materials (windows, doors, water tank, soil, bricks, insulation, roofing, etc.) and contacting the installers (masons, electricians, plumbers, etc). The difficulty of finding organic materials we add to the difficulty of coming within a reasonable cost, which is proving more complicated.
Our great challenge is not just us a sustainable housing, but to make a model home and to serve as references for other projects. You do not just have to take into account the environmental impact of the building, but also its functionality, comfort, cost and aesthetics. It would not do to make a totally sustainable housing, but because of its high cost may not be copied and ecological building systems that can not be used widely, as well as we could not afford it financially. So we had to rule out using some of the materials and the installation of some systems because of their high cost or because of their low functionality and comfort in use.
Hopefully in a couple of weeks we can continue the construction. In future blog entries will discuss the different materials and systems we use.
Completed and structure, with some other problem, now it ask for budgets and decide on the following items. It is a moment of break, which despairs a bit, seeing as the house has stopped growing.
is an important moment because it is necessary to leave all materials determined and the hiring of close games, to keep things flowing and avoid possible problems in the coming months. We are asking for eco-housing budgets, the tank for gray water, labor, fences, plumbing, electricity, etc. All this is being particularly difficult, especially for the exclusivity of some materials, and find professionals who know and want to do their work in a manifestly different as in a standard home.
being especially difficult to find ceramic tubes. We want to install a geothermal system, a coil buried under the garden where the air circulated to cool and then insert it into the house. To this end, the best thing is to use drain pipes, in particular porous clay pipes, but did not find them anywhere. Having asked a number of companies have found only polypropylene or PVC pipes. Does anyone know where we can find ceramic tubes?
There is a lot to see our finished project, but encourages us to have the completed structure and which, broadly speaking, our idea begins to take shape and materialize.
The concrete structure, a system of construction untenable. As mentioned in previous blog entry, we were unable to use other more sustainable structural systems, at least among those who knew. The wooden structures with freestanding walls la desechamos por su menor resistencia. El biohormigón no pudimos usarlo porque no existe ningúna empresa que lo suministre cerca de la casa. El hormigón tiene que ser puesto en la obra en tiempo máximo de 2 horas desde que el camión sale de la fábrica. Quizás exista algún otro sistema que no hemos planteado, si alguien conoce otras opciones para la estructura puede ponerlo en comentarios, para nosotros será demasiado tarde, pero puede ser de utilidad para otras personas.
¿Cómo disminuir el impacto ambiental de una estructura de hormigón?
Hay multiples medidas que pueden tomarse para hacer la cleaner concrete structure. One of the most important is utlized bobedillas ceramics instead of concrete. The ceramics are fired at 1000 º C, while the concrete make it to 1200 º C. Therefore, production of concrete bobedillas emit greater amounts of CO 2 .
Another logical steps to take is to reduce the maximum concrete used. On the one hand, when calculating the structure is very important that the architect should strive to make walls, columns and other items while minimizing whenever possible. You can reduce the number of sub-basement walls that support the weight of the soil in these areas and replacing the concrete blocks for walls. In our case, the basement walls that are not buried shall termoarcilla 29.
After solving the pipe, started the foundation and structure of the house.
At first we considered several alternatives esctructuras more sustainable than concrete. Among these alternatives include the biohormigón (s lightweight concrete with rice husks or sawdust and whose binder is lime), wood structure and freestanding walls. But the area in which housing is of high seismic risk is why we have opted for a traditional concrete structure, as is the construction system that offers more guarantees.
However, we have tried to do the foundation and structure as sustainable as possible, within the major limitation of having opted for the concrete. We have reduced the amount of concrete used, since some of the sides of the basement contact to the outside, walls can be multilayered as the rest of the house. As we discussed in the blog entry estrasystoles, the drain pipes are made of polypropylene, more environmentally friendly material than PVC. In addition, the vaults are ceramic structure, instead of concrete commonly used. The ceramic slabs are more expensive, but I think it's worth the expense because they have a better energy comortamiento, according to bioclimatización system of housing, and require less CO2 emissions during production.
After starting the construction of the foundation and structure of the house, we had to stop work due to lack of drainage tubes.
As an alternative to PVC pipes, we opted for the tube s PLUS POLO-ECO are sanitation pipes made of 3 layers of polypropylene, halogen-free and heavy metals.
if any should be provided, as the commercial, on Wednesday, July 1, but have not yet arrived. We hope to have them available throughout this week, otherwise we will have to find another alternative.
The truth has long since ceased to amaze me the continued delays and unforeseen. Along with the house, we are doing a crash course in patience.
We have finally started work. The image is the layout of the work and we have even the hole in the basement. So next week we will start with the structure.
When you start with the new structure will upload photos and talk about the type of structure which we have chosen.
This morning I have been to record the "Notice Previous "that the developer must submit before starting a play.
already have a mortgage granted in the Caja Granada. We just need to go to the notary sign the paperwork. also hired a Technical Architect specializing in bio Granada , Granada SL Sustainable DE3 certainly a breakthrough and will be a great help throughout the construction process.
So if all goes as planned next week will be the Act of Layout and begin the work. Although until See what I do not believe, especially after a long wait and many delays.
already have the project approval and planning permission, now I just need the money.
ask the mortgage long ago, and everything is stopped waiting for the response of Caja Granada. Who, after more than a month of waiting gave them as the property is ecological and bioclimatic, despite being a supposedly safe for social purposes. also not given us any aid, nor of the Andalusian Energy Agency of Andalusia, or requested from the Caja Granada. We can only hope the response from City Hall.
I hope that these recent problems do not jeopardize the project 100%.
For both systems work properly, it is essential that the dwelling's exterior walls having thermal inertia, that is capable of storing heat and cold. So as to compensate the temperature contrasts between day and night, creating a stable indoor climate. To do the walls have a specific multilayer structure:
be in the outdoor thermal clay layer followed by a natural hemp insulation, this will optimize the energy isolation of the home. In the interior of the walls cannabrick blocks are used, made of hemp fiber, hydraulic lime and mud, with high thermal inertia.
