15. Material & equipment (Builted Materials)

A set of U-Values for the building envelope must not be exceeded, e.g.:

- 0,45 W/m2K for walls, roof and floor,

- 1,0 W/m2K for windows and

- 1,2 W/m2K for doors.

1. FACADE WALL OF SBDS 30 blocks.

Main characteristics of Simprolit blocks:

• low thermal conductivity (0,31 W/m2K);
• longevity (100 years or more);
• lightweight construction (outer wall thickness of 325 mm with plaster and concrete weighs 262 кг/м²);
• fire safety (fire resistance is more than 90 мин);
• high sound insulation (50 dB);
• high hydrophobicity.

2. Simprolit slabs.

Floor slab in its purpose must fulfill many functions and thus have the necessary characteristics, including:

• carrying capacity;
• satisfactory durability;
• sound insulating ability;
• heat insulating ability;
• fire resistance;
• earthquake resistance, etc.

Simprolit slabs are made to order, and is mainly produced for spans of up to 4,0 m, length 4,0 - 5,0 m, 5,0 - 6,0 m, and on request can be made boards and other dimensions .

• Simprolit slabs up to 4.0 m with concrete, have a total thickness of 140 mm and total weight 150 kg / m 2, and Simprolit mounting plate has a thickness of 100 mm, weight, together with the armature 50 kg/m2 (standard Simprolit mounting plate "SMP10" 100 mm, a width of 600 mm and weighs 30 kg / m) and on the spot, top, fitted mesh reinforcement and poured concrete layer thickness of 40 mm and a weight of 100 kg / m 2;
• Simprolit slab length 4,0 - 5,0 m with concrete, have a total thickness of 180 mm and total weight 190 kg / m 2, and Simprolit mounting plate has a thickness of 130 mm, weight, together with the armature 65 kg/m2 (standard Simprolit mounting plate "SMP13" thick 130 mm, a width of 600 mm and weighs 39 kg / m) and on the spot, top, fitted mesh reinforcement and poured concrete layer thickness of 50 mm and weighing 125 kg / m 2;
• Simprolit slab length 5,0 - 6,0 m with concrete, have a total thickness of 220 mm and total weight of 230 kg/m2, and Simprolit mounting plate has a thickness of 160 mm, weight, together with the armature 80 kg/m2 (standard Simprolit mounting plate "SMP16" thick 160 mm, a width of 600 mm and weighs 48 kg / m) and on the spot, top, fitted mesh reinforcement and poured concrete layer thickness of 60 mm and weighing 150 kg / m 2;

Compared with the standard way of producing slabs, floor slabs Simprolit systems have several advantages, including:

• ease of transportation;
• ease of installation;
• good thermal insulation;
• good sound insulation;
• ease of laying electric cables;
• possible only putty formed slab ceiling construction adhesive on the fiberglass mesh, or plaster with a thin layer of cement mortar with fine sand.

3. Thermal bridges.

Thermal bridges are that part of a building where heat and/or cold is transferred at a substantially higher rate then through the surrounding envelope area. There are basically two types of this phenomenon; geometric thermal bridges where part of the structure projects through the building envelope; and material thermal bridges where materials with different conductivity are used in combination. In practice, these effects often combine, a classic example of which is the balcony slab, where problems occur if the connection is not given serious consideration. The thermograph photography below shows that if the problems with thermal bridges at balconies are not addressed, the balconies act as “cooling fins”; conducting the heat off the building and cooling the rooms adjacent to the balconies.The Schöck Isokorb® is the heat-insulating load-bearing element for the thermal partitioning of free cantilever balconies. The Isokorb® is available in option for connecting reinforced concrete to reinforced concrete.4. Windows and front doors.

6. ENERGY STAR: Guidelines for Energy Management.

The ENERGY STAR was established to: Make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy, without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort.

For example:

• Dishwasher technology has improved dramatically over the last decade. New ENERGY STAR qualified models include several innovations that reduce energy and water consumption and improve performance.
• Clothes washers that have earned the ENERGY STAR are 37% more efficient than non-qualified models.
• An ENERGY STAR qualified freezer uses 10% less energy than a new, non-ENERGY STAR qualified model. Improvements in insulation and compressors mean today's freezers consume much less energy than older models.
• ENERGY STAR qualified televisions use about 40% less energy than standard units.
• An ENERGY STAR qualified LED bulb uses at least 75 percent less energy and lasts at least 15 times longer than an incandescent bulb.

7. SMART HOUSE: Automation system controls all electrical household appliances.

Management of household appliances for easy on and off all devices connected to the mains. Washing machine and dishwasher necessarily programmed to automatically turn in "save mode" ie. interval cheaper electricity tariff.
