HCG Hot water, Heat and/or cold generation
It is important to replace Domestic Hot Water, heating and cooling systems using fossil fuels with others using renewable energy. It is advisable to install electrical systems and combine them with renewable energies.
Biomass heating is also a desirable low-carbon heating option because the carbon dioxide emitted when wood is burned is the same amount that was absorbed while the tree was growing. This process is sustainable so long as new plants continue to grow in place of those used for fuel. Meanwhile, the carbon emissions due to cultivation, manufacture and transportation will still be much lower than emissions from fossil fuels if you use a local source.

VEN Ventilation
A good ventilation ensures healthy air quality and comfort in the home. Besides, if a heat recovery system is installed, rather than just extracting air and replacing it with the air from outside, the system draws the heat from the extracted air and passes it to the air which is being filtered in from outside. The extract and supply air do not flow within the same pipes and there would be no cross contamination of the different air flows.

WSD Water saving devices
Water is considered a renewable natural resource, however, there are factors, such as the inefficient use of water by society, pollution and over-exploitation of the main sources of supply, that lead to situations in which the water cycle water breaks or its quality is not suitable for human consumption, making this essential good a scarce commodity difficult to obtain. Thus, the demands for comfort and hygiene make it necessary to propose viable alternatives for saving water without losing quality, quantity and guarantee of supply.
> GROHE
Three faucets (GROHE BauEdge S-Size, GROHE Eurosmart S-Size, GROHE Eurosmart Kitchen) and the GROHE Tempesta shower rail set are Cradle to Cradle Certified at the Gold level. Moreover, the sustainable impact of GROHE BauEdge and GROHE Eurosmart is enhanced with SilkMove ES technology, where ES stands for energy-saving. The technology prevents the unnecessary use of hot water by supplying only cold water with the faucet lever in the middle position.
