The design of the house respects bioclimatic rules and integrates passive systems, i.e. the creation of a facade more isolated on the north side and of a greenhouse on the south. Moreover a domotic system allows the building to adapt to external climate without demanding any excessive complex management, limitating wastes. Heating is integrated: the air gets warmed in the greenhouse, heating the house for passive way in a good part of the year. The disposition of the openings, which are also regulated by the domotic system, has been planned in order to guarantee crossed ventilation. The careful study of the natural lighting system allows a reduced necessity of artificial lighting system. Electricity saving is also obtained by the use of high efficency lighting systems with passage sensors; all household-appliances are high energetic efficiency. The materials used for the inside are chosen in function of the envirormental impact avoiding toxic product; most of these contains a percentage of recycled material, like walls and cardboard plaster false ceilings, with recycled paper.

Beyond the envirormental themes, Fujy aims to the social aspect of sustainability. Therefore our architects target is the creation of the best comfort and accessibility for all kinds of customers.
