The energy efficiency of homes has become an increasingly important objective to reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact
Today, thanks to the intervention of specialized companies, it is possible to carry out a series of interventions in your home to maximize energy efficiency.
In this article, we’ll explore some key interventions you can consider to make your home greener and more sustainable.
It prevents humidity from creating surface condensation phenomena
The first step to take is to ask a professional for an energy diagnosis, for detecting whether there are surfaces in the building that are not properly insulated, or thermal bridges and neglected deterioration.
Then, based on the type of home, the degree of insulation to be obtained, the materials and the investment, it will be decided whether to carry out the insulation:
from the inside: it requires manpower (to remove the radiators, adjust their position and that of the electrical sockets, paint the walls) and is simple and cheap.
from the outside (or cladding): very effective against thermal shock, made with cladding in breathable materials covered with natural plasters, applied by qualified companies.
with cavity panels: made exclusively in the construction phase.
with blowing: an excellent choice for easy insulation of perimeter walls with empty cavity.
Another type of intervention to make your home energy efficient is that of replacing the fixtures.
The natural light that passes through the windows, the visual contact with the outside and the materials they are made of favor internal comfort and energy savings. The windows are subject to wear over time, therefore the replacement with more performing windows ensures excellent energy efficiency performance. Choosing the materials carefully and relying on a company of professionals guarantees optimal performance that can last over time.
Replacing your old boiler with a more modern and efficient model can lead to significant energy savings. Condensing boilers, for example, exploit the heat produced during the combustion of gases to heat water, significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional models. Furthermore, this intervention makes it possible to reduce gas consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.
The installation of a solar thermal system represents a highly advantageous solution. Thanks to this system, solar energy is captured and used to heat water and domestic environments. One of the main advantages of a solar thermal system is the reduction of energy costs in the long term. By using solar energy, the dependence on traditional sources is reduced and significant savings can be achieved on the energy bill. Furthermore, it also contributes to reducing the environmental impact, since solar energy is a renewable and clean source.
The installation of a photovoltaic system is another intervention that offers numerous benefits. Thanks to photovoltaic panels, solar energy is converted directly into usable electricity to meet domestic needs. The energy produced can be used to power household appliances, lighting and all other electrical devices in the home. All this guarantees considerable savings in bills and emissions of polluting gases, helping to preserve the environment.
As we have seen, today it is possible to make a house energy efficient, without having to intervene on the walls.
