A home for all seasons
A modern home offers an optimal indoor temperature and quality of air throughout the year. A superbly designed home, such as our active houses, is the result of careful construction and thought-out choice of thermal insulation, which reduces fluctuations in indoor temperature while considering external weather conditions. Whether you are dealing with cold winters or hot summers, you will always enjoy a comfortable and pleasant living environment.
Guaranteed optimal indoor temperature
Our active houses are based on an extremely efficient building envelope. This envelope is designed to retain heat in winter and cold air in summer. This means that you will enjoy a warm interior during cold winter months, while keeping your home pleasantly cool during hot summer days. You will no longer have to constantly adjust the thermostat or use additional heating and cooling devices.
Smart use of shades and ventilation
To maintain a pleasant indoor temperature even on the hottest summer days, we use smart shading. Shades on windows and roofs allow you to regulate the amount of sunlight entering the interior. This prevents overheating of the rooms. What is more, we also incorporate active ventilation in our homes, allowing for a constant breeze of fresh air. The system is enriched with a cooling mechanism, ensuring that the air is always refreshing. Lastly, the architectural design of the house itself protects the living spaces from strong midday sun.
Passive cooling with outdoor air
At Jelovica, we understand that energy efficiency is crucial, which is why we utilize natural resources for cooling. With suitable outdoor temperatures, we can use passive cooling with outdoor air. A system of built-in openings and airflows allows fresh and cool air to be blown into the interior of the house by means of natural currents.
Environmentally friendly solution
Each of our active houses is not only comfortable but also environmentally friendly. Reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling means a smaller carbon footprint. This is an excellent choice for those who want to contribute to reducing the environmental impact of our society.
Virtually endless floor plan options
A Jelovica active house is an investment in a comfortable and healthy living environment all year round. It ensures optimal indoor temperature and quality air in any weather conditions. With the smart use of shades, active ventilation and passive cooling with outdoor air, you will enjoy a comfortable living without ever having to think about walking to the thermostat.
Any of our pre-designed homes, as well as your custom-made dream home, can be executed as a passive house. Your decision to build an active house will contribute to preserving a healthy environment.
