A passive house for a Mediterranean climate

Abstract

Co-developed with the CREA Research Center and the University of Salento and Saint-Gobain Isover Italia SpA, this project aimed to combine compliance with Passive House energy efficiency standards with traditional building techniques, architectural styles and materials typical of the southern Italian regions. Various types of glasswool (Isover ) were used for cavity wall insulation, placed between a double wall made of tuff from local quarries. The walls have been finished using an ecological lime plaster produced by Saint-Gobain Weber. This combination of glasswool and lime plaster allows the walls to breathe. This project shows that it is possible for a building to be highly energy-efficient using fully recyclable, eco-friendly materials.The initiative has provided a fantastic opportunity for architects and local builders to acquire professional experience in Passive House construction.
