Villa on Elba Island
Tuscany
KITE Engineering took care of a particular residential development on Elba island, with a floor area of almost 500 square meters, completely surrounded by greenery, overlooking the Tuscan archipelago.
The design was characterized by a detailed study of the systems, both from an aesthetic and a functional point of view.
The photovoltaic system – totally integrated into one of the three blocks that make up the property – satisfies the peak energy needs of the entire property, as well as storing overproduction in a storage system that will make the energy usable during the hours of lower radiation.
The heart of the heating and refrigeration system will be made up of a total heat recovery multi-purpose recovery heat pump, of the multi-source type.
Everything is managed by a BEMS system that controls and monitors the systems, guaranteeing maximum efficiency for the building.
Focus:
Total heat recovery: thanks to the refrigeration circuit with condenser in parallel, the heat pump in summer cooling mode is able to satisfy the heating and sanitary needs of the system without having to reverse the refrigeration cycle at each heating/cooling request.
Multi source: the heat pump is able to use air or water as a thermal source – both in heating and cooling -, allowing you to choose the most favorable thermal source in any condition of use, optimizing the energy yield of the building-plant system.
