Ecological unit of single houses in Będzin

Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 2

Abstract

The ecological buildings complex is located in Będzin, on the estate of Małobądzka, between Jesionowa and Lipowa streets. The buildings complex consists of semi-detached and free-standing units. The buildings are adapted for disabled people who move around in a wheelchair. The proposed buildings in a belt system on the east–west axis are shaped in such a way as to make full use of solar energy. The buildings are set, so that the residence rooms have a southern exposure. Blocks of designed houses are composed of several volumes connected by glass segments which enable communication. The main component is the core of a two-storey residential building with the attic referring to the archetype of a detached house. In accordance with the requirements of energy-saving construction, large windows and a three-storey winter garden to the south have been designed. The northern elevation is characterized only by necessary openings. A buffer system of rooms is used and the location of residence spaces from the south is achieved. The high ecological and energy saving value is achieved by a simple form of building block and by the elimination of thermal bridges. Important components of green building have been applied: heat pump systems with solar collectors, heat recovery ventilation and rainwater collection.
