An excellent example of a passive house in the province of Brescia
You may have heard of it, but have you ever seen a passive house up close?
Here it is:
a passive house we designed in Manerba del Garda (Brescia), an outstanding example of sustainable design with high energy efficiency.
A “smart” building that combats indoor pollution, saves on bills, and protects the Earth’s ecosystem- this is Baia dei Fiori.
The design of this home was inspired by sustainability principles and a deep respect for the environment, utilizing innovative technologies and materials to minimize energy consumption.
This project demonstrates how a passive house can perfectly combine sustainability and comfort, thanks to the careful selection of materials and innovative technologies that guarantee reduced energy consumption while ensuring environmental respect.
However, as we always say, there is no one-size-fits-all design. Each project must always be contextualized based on the environment and client’s needs, which is precisely what we did in this case.
Baia dei Fiori Passive House in Manerba del Garda (Brescia): details of a “smart” project
At Studio Alessi, we always strive to find the best solutions that meet our clients’ needs, ensuring high-quality standards and interior comfort (thermal, acoustic, and air quality), while paying close attention to environmental preservation.
This passive house in Manerba del Garda is the result of our extensive experience in “high energy efficiency” design.
The building consists of three residential units, serving as a hospitality facility within Camping Baia Verde.
Do you know what this means?
Buildings designed to passive house standards require up to 75% less energy compared to traditionally built new constructions, resulting in significant savings both economically and in terms of CO2 emissions, without sacrificing comfort.
In simple terms:maximum living and thermal comfort can be achieved with minimal energy expenditure.
And these are the solutions we chose for this project:
- Vertical and horizontal frame structure in reinforced concrete, made by Fratelli Goffi, Goffi Geom. Giovanni & Co. S.N.C, San Felice del Benaco (BS)
- Perimeter walls in porized brick by Danesi
- Internal walls made of plasterboard with Knauf system
- Thermal insulation of perimeter walls with rock wool, thickness 24 cm
- Foundation slab insulation with XPS, thickness 25 cm
- Roof structure in bleached wood with decking
- Thermal roof insulation with rock wool, thickness 34 cm plus 2 cm of wood fiber
- Windows produced by Internorm, supplied and installed by Baitan Serramenti S.R.L, Rodengo Saiano
- Controlled Mechanical Ventilation by Zehnder
- Ventilation system by Idraulica di Roncetti Andrea, Roè Volciano (BS)
- Heat pump by Ochsner
- Hydro-sanitary system by Idraulica di Roncetti Andrea, Roè Volciano (BS)
- Independent iron balcony structure from the main building
- Garden irrigation with sub-irrigation drip system
- Ceramic flooring and coverings by Ragno, Sassuolo, produced by Enrico Bertella Ceramiche di Bertella Nevio & Co. S.n.c, Toscolano Maderno
- Iron parts made by PSZ di Sergio Samuelli, Salò (BS)
- Electrical and lighting system by Security Electronics by Baccolo Dario, Puegnago D.G. (BS)
- Interior furniture by EFFETI di Turrini Massimo, Manerba del Garda (BS)
