Location
Description
The demonstration site is located in Stambruges, 24 km from the city of Mons. It consists of a wood-based envelope house aimed at demonstrating the construction of passive house. The key design strategies are a wood-based structure, large insulation, efficient glazing and a passive house concept. The house might be further developed to be a positive energy house thanks to the installation of photovoltaic panels. The energy performance of the building is determined by a complete measurement system with data acquisition and treatment.
The construction started in February 2015 and finished in November 2015. The building monitoring started in December 2015, when the occupants arrived.
Demo Site Expected Impact
*Information regarding the technical and financial performance will be available at a later stage.
The building in Stambruges has a total surface of 219 m2. The energy demand is mostly electrical but a wood-burning stove installed in the house provides the space heating. According to the monitoring data, the current primary energy consumption of the building is 34 kWh/m2/yr.
