CAL-Classic-Haus
Step by step, CAL-Classic-Haus has risen to the challenges which ever-changing legal standards for insulation and energy savings have presented over the past few years, and developed a building concept which exceeds the strict specifications set by the Passivhaus Institute in Darmstadt. This process includes not only adapting construction methods and carefully integrating materials, but also maintaining a qualified staff. The well-trained team knows their craft otherwise they would not be able to position the first wall of a two-story building and invite people to its topping out ceremony on the very same day. Walls and roofs are pre-finished in the company's own manufacturing facilities under strict quality control supervision. Even though they are only 47 cm thick, the multi-layered wall constructions achieve optimum heat insulation values and, together with the service cavity, create ideal conditions for an airtight building shell. An air heat pump with integrated 200-liter storage units, a heat exchanger, and integrated solar energy components combine to form an efficient and compact heating, hot water, and ventilation device.
