Cieľ projektu
Welcome to Casa Sophia – a home true to the meaning of its name, “wisdom”. This building is the result of two years of work including design, development and construction. The goal of this project was to create the most sustainable home in Spain and Europe. Casa Sophia has obtained the GREEN GBCe Certificate awarded by the Green Building Council España (GBCe) with 5 leaves and a score of 92%. This development put careful thought into achieving the highest possible energy efficiency in a healthy and environmentally conscious home.
In Casa Sophia, from conception to construction, people’s health and sustainability have been prioritised as the main focus of the project. As a Passivhaus Premium building, it incorporates all the necessary technical criteria to achieve this.
Loxone’s intelligent building management enables the intelligent operation of the home and achieves significant energy and cost savings. The essential data for health and efficiency is constantly monitored, and the system automatically adapts to the circumstances at any given time. Every action and all recorded data is visualised in the Loxone App. When the measurements exceed the set limits of comfort or efficiency, the home acts to maintain an optimal environment and seamless operation at all times.

Riešenie
At Casa Sophia, construction was focused on using resources from nature and protecting the health of its occupants. This is achieved through bio construction, a philosophy that uses green materials to guarantee a minimised impact on the environment. From the extraction of materials to recycling them, every step is managed in a sustainable way.
How is this achieved? First, a geobiological study of the terrain was carried out to detect any materials that could affect the health of the residents. In addition, the home’s design is adapted to the geographical conditions and the local climate to ensure a comfortable environment.
Wood, sourced from sustainable forests, is the main material used by 100X100BioPasiva. All other design elements, such as paints and finishes, are also sustainable. These low-impact resources benefit the environment.
In addition, Loxone’s low voltage systems and 24V operation creates a living space that’s free of electrical and electromagnetic pollution.
But that’s not all. Since 1993, 100x100BioPasiva has been building with sustainability, health and maximum energy efficiency in mind, and since 2012 they have revolutionised the world of construction with “biopassive housing“, an approach that combines bio construction with Passivhaus standards. These homes are highly energy efficient, offer exceptional comfort temperature management all year round and minimise the need for conventional air conditioning systems.
A biopassive house is characterised by strategic design: good insulation, very high performance windows, environmentally friendly materials, controlled ventilation, energy-conscious features, comfort temperatures and sound levels – all within an efficient design. Incorporating the Loxone building management system into a biopassive home not only takes the environment into account, but also provides the best quality of life for residents.

As electrical installers and integrators, we work closely with 100X100 Biopasiva, and we are committed to Loxone because it gives us the opportunity to bring together all installations that converge in a building. In this case, the Passivhaus takes a special relevance when it comes to controlling all in a more exhaustive way, for example the air conditioning and the shading at the same time.
