“VIVO A DETACHED HOME EFFECT”
Each residential unit has been treated as a detached cell, surrounded by heavy duty structural bearing walls within which a “second skin” has been laid to obtain the best thermo - sound proofing.
Structure
The bearing structure positioned according to anti seismic criteria consists of bearing walls in brick modules and diaphragms and columns in reinforced concrete.
Slabs are built in steel reinforced concrete that improve the already high level of sound proofing.
Both the thermal and sound insulation are obtained by installing a double layer 27cm thick; a thick external coat and an internal wall lining
Insulation
Building energy efficient residential units for us is not just a matter of increasing the width of the soundproofing panels but it is the process we use to install the panels, consisting in precision and tested technique.
The installation of the insulation must be carried out with extreme care and precision and with tested products and techniques. The design and realization of the heat channels is crucial as well as the design and realization of the air tightness of the building envelope.
Such costly aspects are often ignored in current construction works where highly efficient insulation panels are badly installed. The whole residential development (10 units) is capable of functioning with the same thermal power required in a single residence in a “D” energy efficiency class.
Efficiency
Less energy waste along with less pollution emission.
How? Cooling with irradiative systems at low temperatures (therefore low energy consumption) through specific high efficiency heat pumps.
Production of hot sanitary water obtained mainly at no cost thanks to the energy discarded by the cooling system. A self managed residential photovoltaic plant: uses and accumulates most of the energy through a boiler to use it directly with maximum efficiency
Advanced technologies
The end result is the flooring of each space sitting on an insulating mattress, fixed with anti-vibration joints to the supporting structure of the four walls and the suspended ceiling. This innovative technique allows for a very high sound proofing both among units on the same floor as well as units on lower and upper floors. This condition is usually unobtainable with normal techniques. We can therefore coin the phrase of a residential unit with a “Detached home effect”.
This means that your next door neighbor can listen to music at high volume without disturbing you.
We invite you to try it in VIVO!
The performance obtained grant a sound proofing level higher than the expected standards for the 2020 legislated “Class A” which will bind the company to present the sound proof efficiency certificate along with the energy saving certificate.
This is an added value to VIVO residential units in the future real-estate market.
The use of coated high density sound proofing panels in this specific dry construction technique results in residential units that offer from the start a very high level of comfort.
