The analysis and study of the issues relating to the energy efficiency of buildings began in 2004 with an intense research activity, while the BIOCASA buildings began in 2005 with the development of the first version of the Project. Among the objectives, the reduction of consumption from non-renewable sources and, consequently, of the management costs of the home, also obtaining the benefit of reducing CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere, i.e. a concrete way to counteract the damage caused by overheating Planet. BIOCASA is not only aimed at saving energy, but also pays the utmost attention to living well-being and personal safety. A technical-scientific committee, composed of teachers and experts in the subjects and sectors concerned, in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano, has the task of testing the Project and deepening its guidelines. Filca Cooperative has been a member of GBC Italia since April 2011 , the non-profit organization founded in 2008 to support the market transformation process by introducing the most advanced international standards and adapting them to the peculiarities of Italian construction. Green Building Council Italia pursues three aims: - to encourage and accelerate the spread of sustainable construction; - raise awareness of public opinion and institutions on the impact generated by the design and construction methods of buildings; - provide clear benchmarks to operators in the sector. The association has developed the national version of LEED, the most widespread system for assessing environmental sustainability in buildings worldwide. Joining GBC Italia and sharing the LEED culture led to further developments in Filca's green building policies. The BIOCASA 2012 project has evolved by incorporating some performance levels of the LEED System and establishing that the new interventions will be carried out exclusively in class A or A +, that is to say the excellence of energy efficiency. It is divided into the following lines: SUSTAINABILITY OF THE SITE (control of pollution produced by construction activities, incentives for eco-sustainable transport, promotion of greenery, mitigation of the urban heat island effect, reduction of light pollution). REDUCTION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION (thermal, electrical and water). PSYCHOPHYSICAL WELL-BEING AND PERSONAL SAFETY (acoustic comfort, indoor air quality, healthiness of materials). MATERIALS AND RESOURCES (collection and storage of recyclable waste, use of wood from sustainably managed forests, attention to the life cycle of products - LCA). BIOCLIMATICS (assessment of the bioclimatic quality of the building). Al 31 dicembre 2013 sono 19 gli interventi in costruzione in classe energetica A (consumi tra 14 e 29 chilowattora/metro quadrato all’anno), identificati dal marchio BIOCASApiùFilca, per complessive 649 unità abitative (pari all’97% degli alloggi in corso di realizzazione), Sul sito sono documentati i benefici legati all’abbattimento degli inquinanti atmosferici con riferimento alle 3.621 BIOCASE consegnate, in costruzione e in programma. Le minori emissioni su base annua, se comparate con quelle prodotte applicando i parametri delle normative vigenti nei vari periodi, sono stimate in 2.784 tonnellate. Calcolando che ogni tonnellata di anidride carbonica richiede 100 alberi per essere eliminata con il processo di fotosintesi, le 2.784 tonnellate di minori emissioni annue equivalgono all’azione di 278.400 alberi. Lo standard BIOCASA assicura un taglio dei consumi tra il 70 e l’80% rispetto agli immobili completati prima del 2008 e realizzati con la normativa in vigore dal 1991 al 2005 (Legge n. 10). Se i risparmi sui costi di gestione della casa sono immediati, il loro perdurare nel tempo determina una rivalutazione del bene immobiliare tra il 16 e il 22%, in relazione alla classe energetica e al prezzo dell’unità abitativa, come documenta l’analisi elaborata dal Centro Studi di Filca. Nella BIOCASA lo “stare bene” tra le pareti domestiche, considerato tra le priorità per l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, si concretizza nel benessere psicofisico e nella sicurezza della persona. Per soddisfare l’obiettivo, Filca ha previsto specifiche soluzioni: impianto di ricambio controllato dell’aria; serramenti con triplo vetro, pavimenti galleggianti e tripla muratura tra alloggi contigui per garantire il comfort acustico; verniciature e tinteggiature naturali per assicurare la salubrità degli ambienti; impianto elettrico “stellare” per ridurre i potenziali rischi legati alla presenza di campi elettromagnetici. The interventions of the cooperatives are identified by the brands BIOCASApiùFilca (for buildings in energy class A), BIOCASA Filca (class B) and BIOCASA A + Filca Consumo Zero - Certified and Assured Quality. The marks certify compliance with the standard, the technical control of the quality of the project and the works by an independent body, as well as the issue of the surety and insurance guarantees provided for by Legislative Decree no. 122/2005, implementing Law 210/2004 on the safeguarding of buyers of buildings to be built. > View the BIOCASA 2014 Project THE ZERO CONSUMPTION HOUSE THE ZERO CONSUMPTION HOUSE Verdian Residence LIVING WELL-BEING THE ENERGY CERTIFICATION FILCA ADHERES TO THE LEED SYSTEM ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF BIOCASA FILCA LIVING IN ENERGY CLASS A IS SYNONYMOUS WITH SAVING PRESENTATION OF THE BIOCASA PROJECT 2012 Copyright © 2009 Filca Cooperative - VAT: 01574940134 Home page | site map | disclaimer | credits
