Bioconstruction
Bio
Bioconstruction seeks harmony between technology, beauty and functionalism, so that houses be integrated in their natural or urban environment. Its main goal is to satisfy human needs in healthy conditions by following criteria of sustainability and respect for environment
That is why, with the aim of
developing a sustainable construction, location must be taken into account, by
performing an environmental evaluation and by promoting the use of clean
energies; the design must blend in with the landscape or the local architecture;
the building systems must be environmentally friendly and use healthy materials;
bioconstruction also seeks thermal and acoustic comfort, with optimum energy
consumption, as well as minimal waste generation through different methods of
recycling; air quality must be considered too; finally, design and functionality
go hand in hand, by taking into account colors, light, spaces and dimensions.
In short, bioconstruction must seek to use environment without causing any harm to its sustainability; by taking advantage of technology development, it must achieve higher energy saving and lower waste generation, but without ignoring design, which is one of the main factors to determine the habitability of a house. All this can not excessively distort the final price of the house, that is, a house that is built following these criteria can not be more expensive than a traditional one.
