How to build an energy-efficient home? Home Chamber helps!

An energy-saving and sustainable lifestyle is becoming increasingly important, and it's worth considering this early in the home-building process. By choosing the right materials and construction solutions, it's possible to create a home that is both comfortable and energy-efficient. Home Chamber shares knowledge and experiences to help you make the best choices!

Material selection – what to pay attention to?

Materials play a crucial role in building an energy-efficient home. It is important to prefer materials that:

  • Have good thermal insulation and ensure low heating costs.

  • Are eco-friendly and environmentally friendly.

  • Have long-lasting durability and low maintenance costs.

Popular materials for building an energy-efficient home:

  • Wood – a natural, good insulating, and aesthetic material.

  • Stone materials (e.g. aerated concrete, brick, concrete block) – strong and long-lasting, but require proper insulation.

  • Insulation (rock wool, glass wool, sheep wool) – an excellent insulation material that helps maintain room temperature stability.

  • Windows and doors suitable for passive houses – quality windows and doors reduce heat loss and ensure better indoor climate.

How to ensure maximum energy efficiency?

When it comes to an energy-efficient home, good materials alone are not enough – thoughtful planning and construction techniques are also essential.

  1. Smartly planned spatial layout

    • Large windows facing south maximize natural light and warmth.

    • Optimal space distribution helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

  2. Effective insulation and sealing

    • Air tightness is the key to energy savings – proper insulation and airtightness help prevent heat loss.

    • Walls, roofs, floors, and foundations must be carefully insulated.

  3. Selecting a smart heating system

    • Ground or air heat pumps ensure energy-efficient heating and cooling.

    • Solar panels help produce green energy.

    • Underfloor heating ensures an even and energy-efficient temperature throughout the house.

  4. Ventilation and indoor climate

    • Heat recovery ventilation keeps the air clean and ensures lower heat loss.

    • Natural materials help maintain a better indoor climate and reduce allergy risks.
