Ecoabita _ step #2 _ technical specifications (class definition) _ software _ training at all levels _ incentives _ communication campaign

Class definition

S/V = 0,5 Um = 0,6 kWh/m2 a External surface = 6 x 144 m2 = 864 m2 Gross heated surface = 576 m2 Gross heated volume = 1728 m2 Qh = kWh Ep = 70 kWh/m2 a Class definition

S/V = 0,67 Um = 0,6 kWh/m2 a Ext. surf = 2 x x 72 = 576 m2 Gross heated surface = 288 m2 Gross heated volume = 864 m3 Qh = kWh (x 2 = kWh) 93 kWh/mq a Ep = 93 kWh/mq a Class definition

S/V = 0,83 Um = 0,6 kWh/m2 a Sup. est. = 2 x x 72 = 360 m2 Gross heated surface = 144 m2 Gross heated volume = 432 m3 Qh = kWh (x 4 = kWh) 109 kWh/m2 a Fabbisogno termico = 109 kWh/m2 a Class definition

S/V kWh / m 2 year Class definition
