Ecolux Housing design principles are to construct affordable housing with minimum environmental impact, maximize year round comfort and reduce running costs. These principles are applied to every aspect of the home models – including the material selection, the systems utilized, and our operations.
Energy Efficient Walls
Ecolux Housing employs passive monolith construction (floor/walls/ceiling are of the same material) – design that takes advantage of the climate to maintain a comfortable temperature range in the home by reducing the need for auxiliary heating or cooling. The characteristics and R values are extremely high.
Based on the needs on location. Passive heating and cooling options can be added to optimize the walls and materials used. Additional thermal insulation and cross-ventilation can be added. All of our prefab homes meet the highest energy rating requirements in its kind.
R-Values:
80 mm panels R= 2,50
100mm panels R= 3,30
120mm panels R= 4,00
150mm panels R= 5,14
160mm panels R= 5,50
200mm panels R= 7,02
300mm panels R=10,25
Eco-Friendly Materials
All our modular pre-fab parts use materials that are fully recyclable, non-toxic and environmental friendly. The walls are made of ecological insolation foam strengthened by wood bridges covered by magnesiumboard layers. The wall is stronger than concrete and lighter than wood. Special laminates can be added in the fabrication process to eliminate any further need for wall treatment and maintenance.
Energy Efficient Systems
Ecolux Housing incorporates energy systems partners into its design to complement the construction of a sustainable house. Sustainable systems include:
– Smart micro grid or off grid solutions (PV/Wind/Battery/Smart appliances)
– Water collection, reticulation, purification and re-use solutions
– Efficient heating and cooling solutions
This systems are available on grid and (semi) off grid with A class producers.
Construction
Due to our production lines we have no waste materials, high precision fabrication and short production time (if slots are available). Complete house pre-fab walls and parts are immediately stored in high cube 40ft containers to be send to location. On location the floors, walls and ceiling is glued or screwed to a monolith unit including all utilities. No heavy cranes or building machinery is needed, due to the light weight of the parts.
