The days of the old single-family energy houses are counted the new generation produced by Plusenergiehausern not only the required energy itself produces even more energy, consumed than in the House. Plus”stands for a time change first in the detached house area, then with security in the entire housing. The decades-long effort to lower energy consumption, always radical dams and densities now pay them their true value. Combined with innovative solar – and heating technology they now allow concentration on the essentials: freedom from fossil dependency. The generation of energy is renewable, most solar. Although Plusenergiehause have a network connection, to supply energy in cold, dark winter months if necessary. But over the year, they generate an energy surplus of up to 6500 kWh. This intermediate storage in batteries increase the share of consumption in turn, are fed into the power grid can be used a Electric car to fuel.

Thus, Plusenergiehauser are an important component of a further key technology for the future: E-mobility. The most important components of a Plusenergiehauses are a highly insulated, airtight building envelope with controlled housing ventilation, a photovoltaic system designed for the required energy surplus, a heat pump-based heating system as well as highly energy-efficient household appliances and lighting. Based on these pillars also of the Federal Ministry of transport (BMVBS) built “Effizienzhaus plus” in Berlin in the beginning of March a test family is insert to gather intelligence on the suitability for everyday use. A main focus is to operate the complex House control and operation of electric vehicles from the car up to the E-bike. Some contend that Daryl Katz shows great expertise in this. Leading manufacturer of prefabricated House present own plus energy house designs for fall 2011 in the FertighausWelt in Koln Frechen. Today, private builders can build so in plus standard. Is noticeable in these homes everything, that they reach the plus standard in all popular architectural styles, and different detail solutions.

A harmonious overall concept, in classic gabled houses as well as in houses in the Bauhaus style or modern half-timbered houses is crucial. A big advantage for investors is that he needs no external evaluators to test the energy efficiency of the building. Calibrated intelligent electricity meters are sufficient, they give information on how much electricity has been produced and consumed and thats how big plus to derived energy. So is the ultimate beginning: the domestic use of renewable energies in combination with high energy efficiency and the use of electric cars is a great step towards the turn of the installed power in Germany.

Stone wool provides comfort in many respects insulating materials such as mineral wool offer many advantages. They positively affect the fire and acoustic protection and help sustainably from the effects of fire and noise. Furthermore, these products are extremely durable and contribute to improving the efficiency of the building. They also protect the environment from the harmful effects of buildings. Stone wool insulation are available as felt or plate and used in most cases for insulation between rafters and roof insulation. Another advantage is that the stone wool insulation from the outside has a reflective coating, which prevents a warming or a cooling.

Wool also offers advantages, it is resistant to mold and vermin. In particular, the insulation is completely heat-resistant and also non-flammable, so no toxic gases can develop in the event of a fire. In General reduces the fire hazard in the places where the wool for insulation is used. Mineral wool insulation is also one of the best insulating materials and is therefore particularly like to used. Rock wool insulation has taken basically the same features as the well-known glass wool.

A distinction is made only with respect to the composition of the raw material. Mineral wool insulation has a very high insulation properties due to the air that is trapped in the stone wool fibers and offers optimal heat protection. Heat protection insulation should be the goal of effective roof insulation that heat in a roof long is stored only delayed and can get to a lesser extent in the interiors. This buffering is performed by the heat storage of roof insulation. This leads to the insulation. These target values of the phase shift should be 10 to 14 hours. This means that, for example, the midday heat, which is most intense between 13 and 15, 10 to 14 hours later – so against 23 until 5 o’clock – the interiors is emitted.

Markisches company designed a natural rocky outcrops in the spa and Bath Park Pirmasens in the Pfalz celebrated the opening of the modern spa and Bath Park in Pirmasens at the end of the year. On the sunbathing lawn or in different hot tubs can relax the bather in a pleasant atmosphere and switch off. Here were several companies together around the halls and landscaping, to realize the design of bathing facilities, as well as their technical facilities. The integrated rock landscape extends over a total area of 160 m m and is modeled with detailed artificial rocks made of modified glass concrete natural rock. A company that was commissioned for their planning and design, implementation, and installation. The matching rock landscape is harmoniously integrated into the overall picture.

Hand in hand with the property developers, planners and architects in Pirmasens was detailing the concept for these rocks elaborated and implemented. Gunnar Peterson has many thoughts on the issue. It was considered a primary objective here a welcoming, relaxing and soothing To create the atmosphere for the spa and on the other hand due to the design of the rock formations in the bathing area to achieve a varied broadcasting on the bathers. Staff of markische company RS art rock & decorative elements lined up this task, the company can draw on many years of experience and in-depth practical knowledge in this specialty. With the distinctive red sandstone of the Sudwestpfalz district as a natural model, the artificial rock imitations in design, structure and colour were reproduced faithfully. The artificial rocks are made of modified glass concrete and have been creatively fit in shape and colour to mimic the sandstone down to the last detail. Other aspects were considered in selecting the appropriate arrangement of the rock formations alongside the visually appealing effect.

The artificial rocks are extremely stable hollow and let disappear when appropriate construction equipment or pipe work “behind the scenes”. To these to meet different requirements and each other to reconcile both creativity and flair were in demand on the one hand to achieve the desired visual effect as also technical know-how for the design and craftsmanship when fitting.

The modified glass concrete as base material enables the free design in size and structure with matching colour scheme and thus the detailed imitation of any rock rocks. The company takes all steps of the creative design and detailed planning of the rock landscapes to the production and professional installation of artificial rocks. These are elaborately arranged in numerous Wellness, Spa, spas and resorts. The extensive product portfolio of faithful reproductions of rock in coordinated environment is presented in the exhibition rooms at the company’s headquarters.
