When we talk about "energy-efficient buildings," we refer to constructions that meet the electricity, thermal comfort, and well-being needs of users with minimal economic expenditure, aiming to reduce energy supply bills to the minimum. To achieve this goal, we need to address all aspects, starting with the design of the construction and carefully selecting the materials and equipment to be used. 
A country that is energy-efficient can ensure a stable energy supply for its entire population over time, providing greater stability and energy independence..
Due to the problems caused by climate change and the reality of the need to limit and properly use natural resources, there has been significant interest in sustainability and environmental protection. Improving the energy efficiency of our buildings is fundamental to these efforts.
As a result, more people are becoming environmentally responsible, to the point where they prefer to invest in sustainability and energy savings in their homes..
Modern materials and new constructions adapt to the concept of energy efficiency, aiming to achieve nearly zero energy consumption buildings (NZEB). NZEBs are characterized by significantly reducing energy demand and, therefore, lowering energy supply bills over a year.
To achieve this rating, NZEBs use various technological systems that enable maximum energy optimization in each construction, such as:
- Choosing building orientation to take advantage of solar factors in winter and using eaves, cornices, vegetation, etc., to reduce solar gain in summer.
- Improving insulation and using ventilated facades.
- Intelligent interior air renewal (with energy recovery).
- Using renewable energies in HVAC installations, such as geothermal, solar thermal, or photovoltaic energy.
In this last point, renewable energy systems combined with underfloor heating systems with very low working temperatures (35°C in winter and 15°C in summer) significantly increase the efficiency of HVAC in buildings. This is why Polytherm constantly works on manufacturing new materials and systems to improve the performance of their installations and meet all our customers' needs.
Polytherm and Energy Efficiency
Polytherm has dedicated great effort, work, and dedication over the past 40 years to designing, developing, and manufacturing each material it uses, making them more sustainable and energy-efficient.
To better explain the efficiency of our underfloor heating and cooling systems, we briefly describe some characteristics of the materials used:
- EPS base element with "graphite" significantly improves the thermal and acoustic insulation of the installation, reducing consumption and increasing comfort.
- "5-layer" tube with an Evoh barrier protected by an outer polyethylene layer to guarantee the water quality of the installation, reducing corrosion and thus improving the thermal transmission of all heat exchange elements in the circuit..
- Electronic pumps with low consumption and adaptation of their flow and pressure at all times to the needs of the installation.
- WiFi regulation system via a smartphone that allows you to control the schedules and temperatures of each room in your home from anywhere to adapt them to your needs.
- All our systems are certified with the AENOR mark, offering the highest quality guarantee to our customers.
At Polytherm, we conduct a technical and economic study of your home, adjusting the installation to its needs..
