It plays exclusively with the design and the architectonic elements, with
no need to use complex mechanical systems, although it does not imply that it is
not possible to be made compatible. The bioclimática architecture exclusively
tries to play with the design of the house (directions, materials, openings of
windows, etc.) in order to obtain power efficiency. The person interested in
alternative architecture will be, nevertheless, with other terms that can have
relation with which we are speaking. Passive solar architecture. It makes
reference to the design of the house for the efficient use of the energy to
pave. Since it does not use mechanical systems, intimately it is related to the
bioclimática architecture, although this last one not only plays with the solar
energy, but with other climatic elements. For that reason, the bioclimático term
is more general, although both go in the same direction. Active solar
architecture. It makes reference to the advantage of the energy to pave by means
of mechanical and/or electrical systems: solar collectors (to warm up water or
for heating) and photovoltaic panels (for obtaining of electrical energy). They
can complement a bioclimática house. Use of renewable energies. One talk about
those clean energies and that are not exhausted (they renew). For one it
marries, in addition to the solar energy, of that or we have spoken, we can
consider others, like the small Aeolian or hydraulic generators, or the methane
generation from organic remainders. Sustainable architecture.
This architecture reflects on the environmental impact of all the processes
implied in a house, from the materials of manufacture (obtaining that do not
produce toxic remainders and do not consume much energy), the techniques of
construction (that supposes a minimum environmental deterioration), the location
of the house and its impact in the surroundings, the power consumption of same
and the its impact, and the recycled one of the materials when the house has
acted its as and is demolished. It is, therefore, a very generic term within as
the bioclimática architecture can be fitted average as to reduce the impact of
the power consumption of the house. Self-sufficient house. It makes reference to
the techniques to obtain a certain independence of the house with respect to the
centralized networks of provision (electricity, gas, water, and even foods),
taking advantage of the resources the immediate surroundings (water of wells,
streams or rain, photovoltaic energy of the sun or the wind, panels, orchards,
etc.). The bioclimática architecture collaborates with the self-sufficiency in
which it talks about the energy provision. |
