SUSTAINABILITY

No expense has been spared to fully transform the villa into a sustainable masterpiece. In the technical room of the detached garage, a heat pump has been carefully installed to provide underfloor heating and cooling throughout the villa, ensuring a constant indoor climate 365 days a year. Additionally, an advanced air handling unit by Burgers Ergon has been implemented to keep the villa free from particulate matter and pollen.

To optimize sustainability, all facades, floors, and roofs have been insulated with high-quality materials. Insulated glass has been used throughout the villa, not only increasing energy efficiency but also significantly enhancing comfort levels. These thoughtful improvements elevate the villa to a new level of luxury and sustainability, making it not just a house but a pioneering home.

Heating:
Heat is generated by a heat pump with a heating capacity of 19.2 kW, boasting a COP value of 4.08. From an efficiency standpoint, the heat pump has been selected to meet approximately 70% of the total heating demand. In case of very low outdoor temperatures, the remaining demand is supplemented by a gas-fired HR boiler. In emergencies, the gas-fired boiler can also meet the entire heating demand. The energy for the heat pump is extracted from the earth using a closed loop system with a capacity of 3.1 m³/h. The water cooled in the heat pump is reinjected into the ground.

The ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating, while on the first and second floors, low-temperature heating (LTH) via individually controllable radiators has been chosen.

Ventilation:
The air handling unit, located on the second floor, ensures complete ventilation of the villa, with a chosen 2.5-fold air exchange. The practically imperceptible sound level is lower than 30 dB(A). Both the supply and exhaust sides of the air handling unit are equipped with high-efficiency air filters, class F7, capturing 85% of dust particles ? 0.4 ?m, filtering out all fine dust particles. The unit also features a cross-flow heat exchanger with bypass for energy recovery from exhaust air. If necessary, the air is reheated by a water-fed heat exchanger. Variable-speed supply and exhaust fans ensure the correct air capacity transport.

The high-speed cross-flow heat exchanger achieves an efficiency of 84%. To ensure completely draft-free airflow into the various rooms in the villa, Trox high-induction swirl and linear diffusers, type RFD and VSD35 respectively, are used. The ventilation system is linked to the three existing gas fireplaces. When one or more gas fireplaces are activated, the supply and exhaust airflow rates are adjusted to maintain a slight positive pressure in the respective room.

Cooling:
The entire villa's cooling is provided by groundwater. A heat exchanger separates the water from the source and the cooling water in the house. During cooling demand, ventilation air is cooled, and the underfloor heating is switched to floor cooling. This provides 67 W/m² of cooling power, while only requiring a maximum of 0.55 kW for cold generation.

Control System:
The system is controlled by a digital control system called "Top Control Vision" by Priva. The software is equipped for both local and remote modem communication. The system can be remotely operated by the user via the modem, and in case of malfunctions, remote analysis can be performed by the relevant maintenance company.

Operation and data readings are carried out in a fully digital environment. A 12.1-inch TFT touchscreen panel is available in the house for the user, displaying status updates and measurements. Desired values and settings can also be adjusted via the screen.
