ISOVER Competition proposal: The Multiplicative Neighborhood

Overall comfort is one of the key factors when it comes to planning any type, form and scale of building. It is necessary for a hose to perform well when used by inhabitants. Living conditions inside the house and in a neighbourhood have a huge impact on both physical and psychological wellbeing of its users. We designed the project concerning high standards of the multi-comfort principles.

Areas of planning: architectural and construction design, urban planning, landscaping

Concept

To ensure thermal comfort it is best for buildings to be heated with the aid of a low-energy system of floor heating. Alongside heating, we need to also consider a cooling system for the summertime.

Scheme: Instalation systems - heating

At the same time it is necessary to provide enough light and fresh air inside the buildings. Active and passive principles are combined to achieve the standards of a multi-comfort house.

Scheme: Study of sunlight
