Low energy room project
Consume less energy and use renewable energy sources
We are in a phase of evolutionary change in the history of living, due to the strong limitations of fossil energy resources. A process that will see the building and construction as a whole as protagonists and will have an essential point of arrival: consume less energy and use renewable energy sources.
The mission of the LOW ENERGY ROOM project is to address all properties for tourist use that need to be adapted to the new directives issued by the European Community and the Italian State on the subject of energy performance of buildings.
With these premises, the work group gathered around the LOW ENERGY ROOM project operates with a perfect integration of skills and a common dialogue to obtain the best results. Made up of Arch. Renata Giacomini, the engineering company Engteam srl and Arch. Alberto Pasetti, coordinated by the company Giacomini Concept srl, proposes the project of a hotel room with technologically advanced contents that allow the reduction of renovation times, management and operating costs to offer the guest maximum comfort. A room where technique and aesthetics dialogue through construction solutions of the various elements, like actors on a film set directed by an attentive director.
Another important goal is to make visible and understandable all the technologies aimed at reducing consumption, integrating them with the furnishing and interior design project.
For example, by using plasterboard and soundproofing panels, the electrical and mechanical systems are housed above the original masonry, saving demolition costs. Furthermore, air conditioning with radiant panels on the walls and ceilings provides better conditions of well-being linked to the heat exchange by radiation and the low speed of the air in the room.
The lighting design of the room module and the bathroom is based on the optimization of the flows generated by LED or fluorescent sources, characterized by high luminous efficiency. Consumption is reduced to the bare minimum, in addition to the significant reduction in maintenance costs. Furthermore, the soft lights are able to produce warmer or colder flows at will, depending on the specific needs of the user.
The photovoltaic shutter proves to be an intelligent and aesthetically pleasing solution, it guarantees a reduction in heat input, contributing partially to the energy needs of the structure. The choice of materials for the furnishings and coverings is dictated by the principle of using renewable resources through controlled forestation.
The appointment with the vision of the realization of this innovative project is approaching: from 19 to 23 October in Milan, inside Host, the International Exhibition of Professional Hospitality, PAD 2 STAND S32 T25 it will be possible to know all the details. The project will take shape thanks to the contribution of internationally renowned companies (see box below) that have actively contributed to the realization of the LOW ENERGY ROOM. We wrote it at the beginning: if you want (and plan well) energy saving can enter hotels, but also homes and buildings, like a welcome guest.
