1. Introduction
Due to limited energy resources which humanity will face in the coming
years as increasing pollution, renewable energies have been placed as
an efficient alternative to get that households have light and heat. Heat
the water for domestic use or access the heating in winter and air
conditioning in summer through renewable energy is now possible
because the technology exists and the ability to do so. Solar energy,
geothermal energy and biomass are the best ways to use these
renewable energies at home.
2. Solar energy
These panels are usually placed on the roofs of the houses, but
sometimes also on the facades. Although it also works on cloudy days,
you need to live in an area where the sun usually shines.

We can classify how to use solar energy in many ways, among which we
highlight:
Solar panels are the most known for using solar energy.
Uniting many such cells in series and adding their loads, we obtain
significant amounts of electricity that can build up and become ac.

The solar panels receive heat from the sun and transfer it to a fluid.
This hot water is used for showering uses, unheated rooms and pools.
These systems are used increasingly in equatorial regions where the
level of the suns rays is high throughout the year.

Solar ovens are other solar collectors, but in this case the fluid to which
heat is transferred from the air vessel, which then heats the contents.
In many cases this type of collectors are parabolic and has a system
which, through mirrors concentrate the solar rays to obtain higher
temperatures.
The solar thermal power systems use large movable mirrors called
heliostats to focus sunlight on a specific point, generating temperatures
and heating a fluid.

The most important advantage is that all this energy does not
pollute.
It is an energy harvesting system ideal for areas where power
lines do not reach (rural, mountainous islands) or is difficult and
expensive to transport.
Solar collection systems that are commonly used are easy to
maintain, which makes your choice.
The cost decreases as technology progresses, while the cost of
fossil fuels increases over time because more and more scarce.

3. Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is simply the internal heat of the Earth. This internal
heat heats up the deeper water layers: ascending, hot water or steam
produced manifestations such as hot springs or geysers, used for heating
since the Roman times. Today, advances in drilling and pumping
methods allow exploiting geothermal energy in many parts of the world.

Solar energy stored in the ground is absorbed by the heat pump (LOC)
by Geothermal heat exchanger consists of plastic pipes buried high
strength and long life (50-100 years), copper or stainless steel.
For these pipes circulating brine that exchanges heat with the ground.

4. Biomass

Eficiente energetica
Biomass boilers are those that use natural fuels from renewable
resources for its operation. The wood pellets from forest residues or
surplus wood industries, olive pits, nut shells, wood etc.. are natural
energy sources using biomass boilers.

o Wood stoves: They use wood logs for burning. For its high
aesthetic value as a fireplace, design are made for home
use.
The heat generated during this combustion (fuel in this case natural) is
transmitted to the circuit water in exchanger incorporated in the boiler.
The hot water generated is used for heating and domestic hot water,
pool heating, etc..

Advantages of biomass:
Disadvantages of biomass:
The yield of biomass boilers is lower than those using fossil fuel.
It takes more biomass to achieve the same amount of energy
with other sources.
The biomass distribution channels are less developed than those
of fossil fuels.

1. Introduction
Passive houses began to study in Germany in the eighties and there are
already many examples built in Europe and worldwide.
Passive buildings combine high interior comfort with very low power
consumption. The buildings with a high degree of thermal insulation,
strict control of thermal bridges and unwanted air leakage, a high quality
carpentry and optimum utilization of sunlight so that through the
mechanical ventilation with a heat recovery in enough.
This requires a good design and planning, with special care in the details
of construction and execution.

Superinsulation
A good thermal envelope assumes a good thermal insulation, with
thicknesses doubling or even tripling those traditionally used.
Injections control
A planned execution allows control unwanted air infiltration so
that the building can be heated by mechanical ventilation with
heat recovery, without appeal to any other system.
22

The carpenters are the weakest areas of the envelope so that the
sections are well studied, with double tightness gaskets and
windows with double or triple glasses that sometimes incorporate
cameras with noble gases in order to improve the thermal
coefficients transmission.
3. Passivhaus objectives
3.1. Bases
The purpose of the standard is to limit the energy demand for heating
and 15 kWh/m2 and 15 kWh/m2 for cooling.
The total primary energy demand by the building (all, including HVAC,
lighting, appliances, computers, etc.) should not exceed 120 kWh/m2.
3.2. Comfort
A good insulation in buildings against cold and heat inside ensures high
comfort.
They are warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer. You can save
up to 90% of energy consumption compared to conventional buildings
and, as long as they meet the principles of good guidance and rationality
in their construction, support any type of architecture.
3.3. Sustainability

4. Passivhaus nowadays
The region of Vorarlberg in Austria has established that all new housing
blocks must be realized in Passivhaus standard.
In Spain they are taking the first steps in building the standard, with
buildings constructed in Andaluca, Navarra, Catalua, Asturias, Pas
Vasco and Madrid.
