Today, more than 40 % of all energy raw materials are being used for heating and cooling of buildings. Yes, there are many ways how to utilize the renewable energy, but the initial costs for photo-voltaic installations, heat pumps, heat recovery ventilation or solar collectors are still too high in comparison to achieved energy savings. Also the expenditure of primary energy to manufacture this technology is still high.

The idea of Zero energy building ISOMAX technology is amazingly simple form by the utilization of solar energy in connection with the near-surface geothermal energy. The solar energy is collected via roofing of a building and it is stored underneath the building. This stored solar energy will be used for tempering of walls and roofing via concealed plastic piping installed in building components. The same technology is used for cooling in summer.

Thousands of  examples already realized around the world verify the efficiency of ISOMAX system extremely favourable in regard to  manufacturing and operating costs.

Annual energy bill for a typical single family home is over $2,000. Do you know how much money do you spend on energy? What do you think, how do you use energy in your home?

Typically heating (31 %) and cooling (12 %) accounts are the biggest chunks of a utility bill. There are many ways how you can reduce these numbers by 90% and more. The only question is, how long will it take to pay for itself in energy cost savings. Currently, the average price of electricity is 11.3 cents per kilo-watt hour and average price of natural gas is $13.29 per million Btu. Are these energy prices likely to fall? I don´t think so.

So if you plan to own your current home in a long term and if you have budget and time on maintenance and repair, do not hesitate. Investment in energy efficiency is one of the best ways how to increase the value of your property.
