Since it is mandatory to have the energy certificate for the sale or rental of a house or office, we have all become a little more aware of the issue. But the truth is that for a large majority, there is still a lot of ignorance about the implication of obtaining a home with an energy rating that can be excellent (A, B), average (C, D, E) or very bad (F, G). This classification is made based on energy consumption in relation to the dimensions of the houses. Depending on the energy rating obtained, the energy maintenance cost of the Prefabricated houses can vary significantly.
Seeking Energy Rating, for better efficiency
Good insulation, adequate orientation, equipment that consumes little energy. The use of aerothermal energy as an air conditioning and DHW system, including the installation of photovoltaic panels with LED lighting and the use of low-consumption appliances, are determining factors for a home to be efficient and obtain the highest energy rating. Prefabricated concrete houses meet all the requirements to be granted the highest rating (A). Therefore, they have become an option to consider for all those who want a more efficient, economical and sustainable home than houses that are manufactured conventionally.
With a precise assembly system and thanks to the application of special products used in the manufacturing process, the concrete modules that form the structure of the prefabricated modular houses Modular Home They offer excellent insulation against external weather agents (rain, wind, temperature, noise). This allows a reduction in subsequent energy consumption. On the other hand, in Modular Home We carry out a careful and precise orientation of the home. The sole objective of which is to reduce the economic cost of using air conditioning and heating equipment.
Class A energy certificate
For all these reasons, prefabricated homes with energy certificate A have an added value that must be taken into consideration when thinking about purchasing a property. This certification, in addition to representing considerable savings on the electricity bill, means that it is possible to achieve (at any time of the year) maximum comfort and well-being within the home. In addition to being efficient homes, prefabricated concrete houses offer an unbeatable quality-price ratio and among their many advantages it is worth highlighting: the speed and cleanliness in the execution of the work, the possibility of customizing the home and the viability of a subsequent expansion. of the same in the the case that it was necessary.
Energy rating and modular homes
The construction system of the modular houses, based on concrete panels, has been developed following efficiency criteria, thinking about the durability and resistance of the home. concrete houses MODULAR HOME are made with an enormous insulation capacity, achieving the Energy Classification A. The energy rating of a home is carried out by measuring the energy consumption relating it to the dimensions of the house. Depending on the rating obtained, this will be the energy maintenance cost of the prefabricated house.
Adequate insulation, correct orientation, for example, a home open to the south and closed to the north, and the use of electrical equipment and low-consumption light bulbs, are factors that will determine whether the home is efficient and can obtain the maximum energy rating. . Currently, prefabricated concrete homes meet the necessary requirements to achieve the maximum A rating. They are more efficient, economical and sustainable homes than those built conventionally.
The assembly of the concrete modules is precise and offers excellent insulation against external weather agents, such as rain, wind or temperature changes, with the consequent savings in terms of energy consumption, especially air consumption. conditioning and heating.
Having a home with a class “A” Energy Rating is an added value
Currently, both newly built homes and those already built need to have an energy certificate in order to be sold or rented. This certificate qualifies the quality of the insulation in seven levels that are represented with seven letters from "A" to "G", with the "A" certification being the most efficient and "G" being the one issued to the home with the poorest quality. of isolation.
MODULAR HOME far exceeds the insulation requirements required by the new regulations and our Prefabricated houses they have a class «A» energy certificate. Having this certification is an added value for the future owner, since these homes have much lower maintenance costs and can benefit from tax incentives as they are more respectful and sustainable. Furthermore, they are more appreciated if they are sold or rented in the future.
Insulation in prefabricated houses
Insulation is very important in the home. In March 2014, variations were introduced in the construction regulations in line with the European directive. These new provisions refer to the insulation applicable to newly built homes and seek more sustainable constructions with greater energy efficiency. It brings with it greater requirements and requires a much higher level of insulation than the current one, which will benefit its future tenants.
Insulation, one of the great strengths of our construction system
MODULAR HOME is well aware that insulation is one of the most important factors when determining the quality of a home. For this reason, our construction system has been designed to offer the best insulation performance on the market. Thanks to the effort and long hours of research, we have developed a modular structure based on concrete slabs and special materials that offers exceptional results when tested, offering insulation levels much higher than conventional constructions.
These sustainable materials with good resistance over time have been perfectly integrated by our technical team with quality enclosures, hardware and other structures. Another great secret is the assembly system that allows perfect assembly and sealing of each component element of our construction system. In addition, a complete and strict quality control consisting of 300 inspections is carried out. MODULAR HOME is not satisfied with making beautiful houses, we know that our prestige has been obtained from the quality of our prefabricated, sustainable, durable and comfortable houses.
