Green Architecture & Research
Researching and designing houses for todays living, and for future generations.
The increase of building costs in the western world over the last twenty years was mainly caused by higher demand for comfort. The real human demand for a healthy and comfortable indoor climate is often sacrificed for expensive interior design.
Our working steps:
- listen to the clients ideas
- use the principles of sustainable design to deliver a concept
- early cost estimation for installation and operation of heating and hot water systems by renewable technology
- delivering a design package including space heating, hot water and ventilation
Why ECOM?
Our experience in Green Architecture & Research includes:
- 20 years of sustainable experience (research, design, monitoring) in Europe
- Passive solar design
- Solar Water Heating
- Controlled ventilation
- Heat pumps and heat recovery

First Generation of Low Energy Apartment Buildings
|
| Low Energy Buildings in Germany (Ingolstadt) and Sweden (Halmstad)International Collaboration. The goal of this project was to use the learnings of both the Swedish and German building industries by combing Swedish building construction with German heating technology. The concept was developed with an international planning team delivering a detailed analysis of the energy efficiency.

Second Generation of Low Energy Apartment Buildings
|
| Energy Concept for the Low Energy Buildings Dresden - PappritzThis project was the logical next development stage for low energy apartment buildings in Germany. Using the Ingolstadt experience we developed a simple energy saving concept which was realized by the architects and engineers involved. The high insulated building envelop reduces the energy losses to a minimum during the heating season. The controlled ventilation system provides good indoor air quality over the whole year, central solar water heating was combined with a natural gas condensing boiler system to minimize the use of non renewable resources. The components:
One solar water heating and condensing gas boiler for 4 units |
Low Energy building
|
| Low Energy building - EschbornA hands-on project for two families. Passive solar design of a two story building in a high density suburb of Frankfurt. Combination of heavy internal walls and high insulated building envelop the best guarantee for a perfect indoor climate (warm in winter and cool in summer) The components:
