EcoHat, an Innovative Environmental House

EcoHat were “coming in the way, you probably think of something chunky, organic, and wool – maybe a hat with earflaps to keep you warm while chained to a truck loggers. But Indeed, one EcoHat innovative environmental enclosures feature of British Architects Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners (the new name of Richard Rogers Partnership) for the wonder of the British UN-Oxley Woods development has been created. The colorful series of single-family homes in the outskirts of the highly criticized planned community of Milton Keynes, located about 50 miles northwest of London.

Designed to create a government in response to a maximum of £ 60,000 ($ 121,000) a green home are the Oxley Woods houses panels manufactured off site, transported, filled with recycled paper insulation and built in about seven days. To minimize costs, service areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, heating and controls are standard on all homes, even if the buildings are of varying size 700-1615 square meters.

Another feature is the standardized EcoHat. Up on the roofs of each of the 145 houses, is a powerhouse of energy efficiency in an aluminum housing and offers a well-crafted system that combines solar energy with the circulatory system of a house. In EcoHat, solar heated air as it enters through the roof. The heated air then flows through filters in the lounge, or can be used for water through a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the coil.

“Inside the EcoHat is a proven system called Sunwarm,” said Andrew Partridge, a partner at Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners. “What we’ve been producing housing that leads us to Sunwarm can adapt to all properties. It is a solar panel dry, air is passed over.”

The EcoHat as representative for the design Oxley Woods traditional fireplace. The unit is easily accessible from inside the house, allowing for repairs and upgrades of technology without needing a lift.

The EcoHat the slot cover its ugly games as long as solar panels to be angled for maximum efficiency. “Sometimes, have to move in the environmental protection of buildings with fairly strong,” says Partridge. “This will allow the house to be oriented in any direction, while the EcoHat in the right direction for solar efficiency.” To this end, to the architects who can provide Ecohat-wear at home to 50 percent fewer emissions of carbon dioxide.

Time will tell if the EcoHat is the feature that a new generation will be marked by a British property, but if it is half as ubiquitous as the hat or the launcher used to be, then this piece on top of the hat is without doubt a resounding success can be declared.
