With the ever-increasing demand for Eco-Friendly properties that also offer state-of-the-art living this semi-detached villa located just outside the bustling town of Sao Bras de Alportel offers just that

Bioclimatic villas are a new concept to the Algarve and offer passive elements to maintain a comfortable living environment, harnessing sunshine to passively heat the house with radiant energy.

These villas are Insulated Concrete-filled Form constructions. This is an ideal solution to passive house design. The concrete-filled walls and floors offer airtightness and the ICF assures continuous hyperinsulation without thermal bridges. The villas are built above ground, on stem footings, to eliminate any risk of rising damp. High-performance double-glazed windows and doors. All joinery is treated for air tightness for energy efficiency & draft elimination.

These villas need hardly any active heating or cooling of living spaces. Even when the sun does not shine in the winter for a few days or in extremely high temperatures in the summer, the buildings high thermal mass, together with the hyper-insulated walls and high-performance joinery, maintains a stable temperature.

The ventilation system, MVHR, sucks moisture and odours from the kitchen and bathrooms and exhausts them outside, at the same time providing a continuous supply of fresh filtered air. With the heat exchanger, the ambient temperature of the air is maintained. The filtered air is of particularly interesting for those suffering from pollen allergies. The villas also benefit from a solar-heated hot water system.
