Recently, a highly energy-efficient house was built in Chignolo, near Bergamo in Northern Italy. A ten-year experience in Germany shows that it is possible, with limited technological and economical investment, to achieve a reduction in current energy consumption as large as 90% in comparison with a traditional building. The house is the first example of such a low-energy building in Italy, where the climate is warmer than Germany and summer conditions must be properly addressed in order to avoid overheating.

Abstract
Recently, a highly energy-efficient house was built in Chignolo, near Bergamo in Northern Italy. A ten-year experience in Germany shows that it is possible, with limited technological and economical investment, to achieve a reduction in current energy consumption as large as 90% in comparison with a traditional building. The house is the first example of such a low-energy building in Italy, where the climate is warmer than Germany and summer conditions must be properly addressed in order to avoid overheating.File in questo prodotto:
