Что такое Экодом?
По определению биологов, архитекторов и экологов, это дом с участком земли, который соединяет достижения урбанизации и природной среды. Такие уже есть в Великобритании, Швеции, США, Испании. В Германии дома с нулевым энергопотреблением существуют давно.
В России первый экологический дом создали ученые Института биофизики Сибирского отделения Российской Академии наук (Красноярск) на базе системы БИОС-3, предназначенной для использования в космосе.
Любой экодом должен быть “правильно” вписан в окружающий ландшафт, сориентирован на солнце и построен с учетом законов так называемой “солнечной архитектуры” (учет восхода, заката солнца, защита дома от холодных ветров посадками деревьев и т.д.). Пол и наружные стены должны быть темными, чтобы максимально поглощать тепло Козырьки, крыши, карнизы проектируются так, чтобы летом защищать дом от перегрева, а зимой – впускать как можно больше солнца. Широкий фасад с большими окнами и застекленными верандами должен быть повернут на юг – так дом будет больше потреблять солнца. При этом и системы солнечного обогрева должны в течение дня потреблять максимум энергии. Северный же фасад должен быть достаточно глухим с небольшими окнами. Все это позволяет сократить энергозатраты на 20-30% при условии, что дом будет хорошо утеплен современными теплоизоляционными материалами и оснащен улучшенной системой вентиляции с теплообменниками
При строительстве Экодома применяются только современные технологии, использующие природную энергию – солнечные батареи, ветрогенераторы, тепловые насосы и т.д. Конечно, солнечные коллекторы, солнечные батареи, системы пассивного улавливания солнечного света и биореакторы удорожат строительство дома на 15-20 процентов, но зато через 5-10 лет эти затраты покроются отсутствием расходов на эксплуатацию.
