Description

Building unit that forms a closed heated zone

The present invention relates to a building unit that has a heated area of limited volume associated with apartments, allowing a stimulating and pleasant stay.

More precisely, the invention relates to a building unit in which said heated zone is integrated with housing bodies containing apartments exposed to said heated zone and in active cooperation with it. Also described herein is a method of ventilation in which the exchange of air in the apartments takes place through said heated area to the greatest extent possible and in which the volume ratio between the heated area and the apartments is within certain intervals.

A place to live should be a safe place for enjoyment and relationships in which the human being feels totally free and calm. During a phase of life, this place should also be the basis for the family foundation and a platform from which younger generations can practice and develop their social capacities. In this regard, when the home and the place to live have fulfilled their function, the youngest leave the home safe and their parents to form their own life with their own family. Often, parents will stay in a spacious home that, in many cases, will intensely remind them of time spent with life and activities and with numerous contacts outside the family. After having acted as individuals in a large-scale, multi-faceted community, with intense personal and social networks based on kinship, their desire and need after their children have left is to be able to continue their own social development.

In the phase of life in which the desires and expectations of bringing a new life to the world occur, possibly in the important role of grandparents, there are many possibilities for continuous personal development and constructive changes at a social and human level. Without being anchored in past and rigid social networks, the possibilities for this development and changes can actually be obtained by selecting a new way of living with other people.

Therefore, the main objective of this invention is to find the physical prerequisite for the human development possibilities mentioned above and to form new contacts and social networks. This physical prerequisite is offered by the Boieran® lifestyle, that is, a common way of living with a limited number of people in an environment that supports and stimulates the development of new social networks, although, above all, that stimulates development interior and the establishment of a constructive closure for life so far. This process of being and staying comfortable with oneself during life's changes frequently releases social talents and abilities. In this way, it is a decisive advantage to live in a context and among people with whom friendship can grow and develop. In these phases of change, especially the new relations of friendship will make it easier to analyze situations and experiences in life that otherwise would not have been natural or possible.

To improve the conditions of a successful change in accommodation, it is preferred to perform a kind of biography of past life cycles. This biography can be an advantage in increasing the quality of a new lifestyle in coexistence with other people. Therefore, the biography helps in a positive way to accept the experiences of life until today and constitutes a good platform for continuous positive development. In this case, it may be important to relive very early memories, since they can have a decisive importance in development and behavior as adults. From here, it is possible to create an order and accept the interpretation of the things that have happened.

In Boieran®, all people have their own life and their own apartments, which are all connected to a winter garden with a piece of real nature in which living plants and running water will cause a very evident sense of flowering life and development. Each Boieran® concept has an adequate balanced number of inhabitants and allows to accept without any doubt that some of them choose to live in a more reserved way. Therefore, one of the basic concepts of Boieran® is that it will be mentally stimulating and general human reinforcement to develop and maintain a rich social life. This is facilitated by the social contact in Boieran®, which is limited to a maximum of 100 people involved, that is, a number of individuals such that, with a high probability, it will be possible to recognize and find some of them with whom It is possible to convert a relationship into friendship.

The process of learning to know all the people in the Boieran concept can be accelerated by organizing several biographical meetings in which one or more of the attendees present themselves to the rest of the inhabitants. Therefore, in connection with the selection of a Boieran life concept, it is possible to get help by establishing a biography of life until the selection of the Boieran® concept. Mainly, the biographies of all the inhabitants can be accessible on a home page on the internet or through a link to which only the inhabitants themselves have access. Some similarity is preferred in the design and presentation of biographies. Of course, each person may personally allow others to access their biography. Under no circumstances should this be discriminatory for the integrity of the staff, but, if the possibilities of connecting new relationships

friendly increase, can allow to achieve the opposite effect, that is, strengthen integrity. Without this exposure of the population's history, superficial and possibly hierarchical relationships are likely to be dominant. This can complicate and make the development of new social constellations more difficult. An accessible biography to improve the memory of the inhabitants themselves and their families and, possibly, the staff in charge, can contribute to an essential increase in the quality of life in many years.

Thanks to Boieran®, it is possible to obtain a personal life with as much physical security and certainty as possible, that is, a security and certainty that can be further increased through the use of technical assistance and supervision. Supervision should not refer to integrity if it is directed to personal habits and behavior patterns. Of course, the inhabitants themselves select, together with their families, the degree of security and certainty supervision desired, if any. It is possible to have detectors in the apartments that record the pattern of movements of the inhabitants if the inhabitants and / or their families so desire. It is possible to compare existing registered movement patterns with previous and stored normal movement patterns, and their deviation from them allows the creation of different types of alerts. Therefore, supervision through the use of cameras is not necessary, but a substantial change in movement patterns over a period may be a sufficient reason for a more detailed analysis of the causes. By selecting suitable detectors and storing the information from them it is possible to detect a deterioration of memory, balance and / or sight, after a calculation and evaluation of said stored information.

The stimulating climate of Boieran® is more similar to that of southern Europe than to the Nordic and is established in a closed heated area, to which all apartments are directly connected, that is, at a temperature well above the freezing point. The possibility of moving in a temperate climate just when leaving the apartment constitutes a stimulus for the body and the spirit.

Normally, this access to a temperate climate zone will increase the cost of living, just like the cooling of the apartments during the summer. On the one hand, energy for heating / cooling and, on the other hand, effective insulation will increase the construction costs of the apartments.

DE-A-3 209 147 discloses a prior housing concept with four housing bodies that surround a winter garden. In this case, it is stated that the air and the climate of the winter garden will be transmitted to the adjacent apartments.

US-A-6 182 408 discloses a fully surrounded air-conditioned area in which each apartment has its own outdoor plaza from which access to an adjacent apartment is possible.

None of these known prior structures are well suited to the physical prerequisites that allow establishing a vital development of the type referred to above.

To establish the physical prerequisites for technical building solutions for the development of life, it is necessary to ensure that the necessary heated area will work in conjunction with the apartments during a low pressure climate, wind influences and freezing temperatures, high pressure weather , absence of wind and very sunny weather at +35 ºC.

The necessary ventilation and air exchange that are possible in the Boieran concept not only allow isolation or filtration of deteriorated outside air or enrichment thereof, but also allow the creation of a climate, e.g. eg, with a high oxygen content, that is, a climate with a therapeutic and stimulating influence on the inhabitants. The relatively large volume of the heated zone and exposure to solar radiation will create advantageous possibilities to use the sun's energy, so that the Boieran® concept as a whole can be realized to work based on a “low energy consumption” when The power supply fails. Therefore, it is possible to integrate solar cells into the large surface of the roof covering the heated area.

The arrangement of several miniature environments, such as running water, waterfalls, trees or trails, allows the perfect adaptation of a miniature vegetable world well suited for its growth and the presence of a rich plant and animal world within the heated zone. It is also possible to have artificial light similar to sunlight, which will have a therapeutic influence on the inhabitants and will be a source of plant nutrition. The temperature in the heated zone should not fall below +10 ° C in winter or exceed +25 ° C in summer.

The objectives described above will be achieved by the methods and technique related to the heated zone and the apartments that have the characteristics mentioned in the claims.

Because the ventilation air for the apartments in each housing body can be taken from the volume created by the heated area, which preferably contains a large number of plants with trees and leaves throughout the year, the quality of the air transmitted to each apartment connected increases.

To achieve a sufficiently active effect on the creation of a preferred ventilation of the apartments using the covered volume of the heated area, it must be between 0.9 and 1.8 of the total volume of all the apartments. The best result will be obtained if the volume of the heated zone is in the range of 1.0 to 1.5 of the total volume of all connected apartments, preferably within the range of 1.3 to 1.4.

The type of land on which a Boieran® concept will be built will decide the type of housing body to use.

The type of terrain also has an influence on construction with low energy consumption for indoor climate control. If a part of the housing body is integrated into the land, the heat from the ground may decrease the need for external heat. Therefore, if this is combined with an active solar energy technique, it is possible to obtain great savings without neglecting a comfortable indoor climate control in the heated area and in the apartments.

A great advantage of the heated zone and its height, from a minimum of 10 m from the ground level to the highest point, makes it possible to use its own pressure in the heated zone or in connection with it, transporting said pressure to the ventilation air incoming through some channels arranged below ground level, that is, it is possible to cool the incoming air to temper the heated area during hot summer days. With very high outside temperatures, the roof of the heated zone can simply be opened and the excess heat will be ventilated. The height of the heated zone makes it possible to arrange heat exchangers in the form of a cylinder so that the air / water cools or heats the incoming air and for the exchange of heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air during the colder seasons in order to reduce the heating costs These heat exchangers can also be connected to underground energy storage devices, preferably arranged directly below the heated zone and the housing units that contain the apartments. Preferably, the heat exchange takes place using circulating brine, although it may also be an option to use air channels at least in a part of the energy storage device disposed in the field.

Preferably, the incoming air can be transported by a proportionately large area in vertical channels in the housing bodies. This is done to keep the ventilation air circulation speed reasonably low.

The invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a top view of a Boieran® concept comprising three housing bodies,

Fig. 2A is an end view of the glass wall of the heated zone of a Boieran® concept,

Fig. 2B is a side view from the outside of a Boieran® concept,

Figs. 3A-3C are views from above of different apartment levels in a Boieran® concept,

Figs. 4a-4c show an example of ventilation flows in a Boieran® concept,

Fig. 5 is a top view of a proposed surface area of the heated area, and

Fig. 6 shows a standard layout of two and three bedroom apartments.

Therefore, Fig. 1 is a top view of a building concept comprising three housing bodies, including a heated area according to the present invention.

The other limits of the heated zone are a light transparent roof and a light transparent wall.

In this case, the transparent roof is shown covering the space between the housing bodies. Other solutions may be a roof that also completely covers the housing bodies, especially if the roof is of the type that has channels through which a light and / or thermal insulating fluid passes. In this way, the insulation of the housing units can be simpler and cheaper, at the same time that the volume of air housed in the heated area is larger and, therefore, allows its arrangement more efficiently in a flow Dynamic ventilation for housing units apartments.

One objective is to be able to balance the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between plants and humans, that is, to select plants that have the capacity to adapt their metabolism to take advantage of the different climatic conditions present in the heated zone.

The part of the roof can be equipped with an energy production equipment that works with extremely small temperature differences and allows an essential energy input to be obtained as soon as temperature differences of 10 ° C occur. Preferably, this energy will be electricity that can be used

to produce an air circulation for ventilation and climate regulation of the residential complex.

An end view of the glass wall of the heated zone in a Boieran® concept is shown in Fig. 2A. Frequently, this glass wall in the heated area is oriented to the north so that exposure to the sun is not too intense during the summer.

A side view from the outside of a Boieran® concept is shown in Fig. 2B, showing the emergency exits on the outside of the apartments, as well as the openings between the housing bodies used for the entrance of large quantities of fresh air at a proportionally low speed.

Figs. 3A-3C show views from above of the different levels of the apartments in a Boieran® concept, showing the external gallery of each floor.

Figs. 4a-4c show the way in which it is possible to perform ventilation flows in a Boieran® concept. In these figures, all the fresh air is shown as C and in Fig. 4a the hot air is shown as H. Different stations require different types of ventilation flows to control the temperature and the fresh air entering the apartments. Thanks to the large heated area and the energy storage device disposed on the ground, preferably crossed by brine tubes (see below), great energy savings are also produced with respect to heating and ventilation.

Fig. 5 is a top view of an example of land surface arrangement in the heated zone. Preferably, the water shown in this case can be current and have a temperature that makes the development of microorganisms difficult. Water can also have a certain capacity for self-cleaning by circulating it through waterfalls that create vortices. In this way, the basic needs for the development of animal life in ponds associated with running water are obtained.

Preferably, the heated zone contains relatively large areas of rock or concrete that will be involved in temperature regulation, so that said areas can be connected to at least a larger land mass with a large energy storage capacity, e.g. eg clay.

According to the invention, in order to maintain a comfortable temperature in the limited heated zone with different outdoor temperatures and with different sun exposures, it is proposed that an excess of energy stored in the short term and / or long term be produced in a body of earth below the residential complex and / or in connection with it. Preferably, this storage will take place in a specially prepared earthen body which, with its great energy inertia, can also be used as a day temperature balancing element if necessary. The storage of energy at different levels is also possible taking into account different geothermal arrangements to access an accumulated heating / cooling in the ground at a reasonable cost.

Fig. 6 shows the possible aspect of an arrangement of two- and three-bedroom apartments in a Boieran® concept. Of course, it is possible to use other room arrangements, both in terms of the number of rooms and the area of the apartment. Therefore, a consistent possibility consists, e.g. eg, in changing and completing a bathroom so that the use of it is easy for a single occupant who uses a wheelchair.

The invention is not limited to the examples shown above, but it is possible to make modifications within the scope of the following claims.
