Bioclimatic greenhouses, or solar greenhouses, are the ideal solution to improve your building by increasing the available space and obtaining advantages in terms of energy savings.
A solar greenhouse is a passive solution that exploits the principles of the greenhouse effect to reduce the energy needs of the home, while safeguarding the environment.
A solar greenhouse is made up of openable windows with thermal break which, together with high-efficiency glass, avoid the dispersion of heat through the exchange of air with the outside.
Furthermore, the orientation of the solar greenhouse is fundamental, which must be studied in the design phase and which must preferably face south.
Bioclimatic greenhouses are passive solar systems, they work without the use of any auxiliary energy source; the heat losses of the adjacent rooms decrease through the external wall of the house on which they are placed and make the most of solar energy.
The operating principle is based on the concept of the greenhouse effect: the energy of visible light passes through the glass that encloses the greenhouse, is absorbed by the objects contained in the greenhouse itself and then re-emitted with a longer wavelength (infrared light) which is not transmitted to the outside by the glass; the result is heating inside the greenhouse.
Not all glass roofs for terraces, balconies or gardens can be qualified as bioclimatic greenhouses, these particular structures are regulated by specific legislation and must be merged with the building.
During the winter, the biodynamic greenhouse captures solar energy and transfers it to the rest of the house, favoring its heating, while in the summer, thanks to the ventilation, it stays cool and allows the temperature to be lowered naturally even in the internal rooms.
In this way it is possible to reduce electricity consumption by up to 20%.
The bioclimatic greenhouse, with its perfectly insulated glass cover, allows you to obtain a bright space where you can enjoy moments of relaxation throughout the year.
