Use of geothermal energy on example of show house.
Since the usage of the regenerative power sources
play the
more important role, DAVINCI House offer tailor-made solutions
to its customers in this area.
For example the show house Gebhardshain II is equipped
with the geothermal installation in order to demonstrate
to the interested constructors this variant of environmental
energy supply of DAVINCI House.
Concept
In the Show house Gebhardshain II geothermal
energy is
used for heating the building.
There are arrays filled with special fluid medium each placed
in the bores 70 metres deep and connected to the thermal
pump inside the house. Due to the constant geothermal energy the temperature
in the closed medium cycle increases.
The thermal pump intakes the heat of the hot medium and
transferred it in the processed form to the cycle of floor
heating which always has the required temperature
independent from any external factors.
Т he Show house Gebhardshain II has the living area of
about 2475sq ft.. thank to the geothermal energy the
expenses for heating of such an area comprise
approximately 350,- € a year with really tough winter
condition - 4 to 5 months winter period with minus 25° to
minus 30° ! For Ireland it's once again cheaper. These
are the expenses for electricity only.
Today nearly the quarter of DAVINCI HOUSES built every
year, are equipped with the geothermal heating system.
