SUNNY HOUSE WITH A VEGETARIAN

Abstract

The relevance of passive energy saving technologies in energy efficient low-rise construction in Russia is indicated. The definition of a passive house and its feature is given. Indicated that an attractive source of energy for heating the house is the energy of the sun. The definition of a solar house is given. The requirements for a solar passive house during its design are described: compact form of the house, optimal orientation of the house to the cardinal points, differentiation of glazing at home, passive use of solar energy, etc. It is noted that the most common system of passive heating of a house is to heat insulated glazed volume between nature and internal space of the house (vegetarian). The definition of a vegetarian is given, its design, features and advantages are described. Considered and analyzed various ways of heating solar houses from a vegetarian: a semi-direct, indirect, thermosiphon system with heating and circulation of warm air around the house. The classification of solar houses is discussed depending on the architectural solution for the placement of the vegetarian: a detached house with a vegetarian; a house with a vegetarian adjoining its main living space; a house located with a vegetarian under a common roof; a house with a vegetarian built into its living volume, a house with a “double shell”. The following types of vegetarians are listed: attached to an existing house, built into the house or being a “second shell” for the house. Practical recommendations for optimal work of a vegetarian are given: the need for special glazing (thermal mirror), protection from sunlight in the summer. The conclusion is made about the prospects of solar houses with a vegetarian due to the clear advantages of the passive heating system of the house and a high architectural and aesthetic level.
