Team Members &crew3.

We are équipe VIA-UJI, a European team of students and professors from VIA University College (Denmark) and Universitat Jaume I  (Spain), coming from several countries around the European Union. Therefore, we consider Europe as our common home and our living environment.

Urban concept in Castellón, Spain 7

Project Description 4.

project principles“The ethic style of life”, our motto comprises a lot of concepts and values reflected in the prototype and in the project in general.

éBRICKhouse, the proposal of équipe VIA UJI for Solar Decathlon Europe 2014, is a prototype of self-sustainable prefabricated modular bricks, which develops a new interpretation of the construction system, materials, culture and environment.

Moreover, the three concepts that have been used in our design philosophy Do-It-Yourself, Craddle To Craddle and Permaculture are implemented in the prototype.

Concerning energy consumption, éBRICKhouse runs on renewable energy and it is self-sustainable which means that it is environmentally friendly and saves money through low household consumption.

éBRICKhouse offers an innovative design with high indoor quality given through design concepts such as the indoor garden.

Finally éBRICKhouse has a high degree of flexibility being composed by pre-fabricated modules that can be combined together in different ways according to the preferences of the user that lives in it.

urban conceptOur team decided to analyze two different cases-of-study both in Horsens (Denmark) and Castellón (Spain). In Horsens we study how to integrate into the town an abandoned industrial area in Horsens harbor, while in Castellón we focused on how to recover abandoned building structures due to the construction crisis bubble.

architectureArchitecturally, the basic element for the construction of new elements, giving the name to our system, is the éBRICK. We started from a single standard brick which measured 4x8m as a minimal unit for a single user. This module will allow us, through the combination with the greenhouse, to generate new buildings suitable for different residence typologies. In our prototype we have decided to develop two new BRICKs of different measures (3x8 and 2x4).

Our prototype combined the best design, construction systems and materials from Denmark and Spain.

In the exterior of the house we used mainly materials and systems from Spain, with a ventilated façade in porcelain ceramic that allows natural air flow in the façade improving comfort temperature inside the house. Moreover the sunscreens latticework prevents excessive direct sunlight inside the house and also provides an appealing aesthetic design.

In the interior of the house, we used mainly materials and design from Denmark, using light wood colors and exclusive furniture design. Other elements coming from Danish companies provides an extraordinary interior comfort, such as the triple glazing windows and the low energy heat-pump HVAC systems that also provides domestic hot water.

bioclimatic strategiesAdopting a bioclimatic strategy in building design is useful to determine in detail which resources we are going to spend. We must consider a number of basic design criteria:

- Location of the project- Right orientation- Sunscreens adjusted to the latitude- Promote the use of natural ventilation- Usage of the greenhouse as an energy captor- Usage of solar thermal to generate sanitary hot water

To evacuate excessive heat, the most effective passive system is allowing crossed natural ventilation in order to generate small air currents and reduce internal temperature over a brief period of time. In our prototype this situation may occur occasionally inside of the house and more frequently in the greenhouse, which does not have any active mechanism air conditioning since it is not part of the thermal envelope.

In our case bioclimatic strategies are mainly destined in heating. Therefore, the thermal system that is going to be used to the storage of the energy has as its main goal to contribute to heat the interior of the house and/or improve the efficiency of the active system (heat pump). We designed a system based on the Phase Change Materials (PCM) placed in a recessed ceiling in the greenhouse for capturing thermal energy.

construction systemséBRICKhouse structure is a combination of two steel systems. The main structure is made on steel profiles and the secondary is on galvanized steel frame. This makes the house more secure to transport, assembly and disassembly and makes the structure 100% recyclable.

Interior walls have a thickness of 230 mm, only 100 mm is the structural part with insulation inside. Another 100mm layer of insulation is included to provide thermal insulation, but also to allow the path of the installation inside. This is finished with two layers of plasterboard, which gives the required acoustic resistance.

Exterior walls have an extra layer of insulation ventilated façade system, together with the sunscreen latticework; it provides thermal protection and tends to balance the outside temperature with the inside one.

Our construction systems combines the Do-It-Yourself, Craddle-to-Craddle and Permaculture principles; that means that we encourage people to participate in the construction of their own house with materials that can be reused or recycled, while we promote integration of nature by growing your own vegetables in the house.

Project Description 4.

installationsA total of 28 monocrystalline photovoltaic panels are installed on the rooftop of the prototype using a combination of mobile panels and fixed ones with a total production of nearly 5 kWp. In the morning the mobile panels are facing east with the aim of obtaining as much energy as possible, tracking the sun during its path to the west along the day. The energy used in the mobile facilities is low in comparison to the energy produced.

The entire prototype acclimatization and domestic hot water is solved with one compact unit, a Heat Pump System. This compact unit uses the heat extracted from the air and recovers it to heat the DHW tank and the air inside the house. The heat extracted is used as a preheated source for the heat pump; this increases the temperature and also heats the water in the tank. The system works for active cooling, passive and active heating and can contribute to heat water for sanitary system.

In the prototype there is a system for home automation (automation system) which controls lights, consumption, sensors, shading system and sockets. The system allows to program controlled parameters in order to reduce and optimize the consumption of energy and at the same time to ensure the keeping of internal comfort standards. The goal of this automation system is to be able to control all by a mobile phone using Wi-Fi or Internet.
