Designed and built by Marlegno, specialized for years in the design and construction of wooden houses and buildings, it foresees the construction of 120 environmentally sustainable housing units rigorously made of PEFC certified wood according to the most modern production technologies of industry 4.0. and with air conditioning systems with very low consumption and and zero emissions in the environment.

Once completed, it will be one of the largest bio-district in Europe.

Villas, three-room and four-room apartments of maximum 2 floors, each with its own garden, the neighborhood will be residential in the best tradition of the construction company. In fact, since the early design stages, Marlegno has paid close attention to the care of every detail of the houses so that the comfort of living goes hand in hand with attention to the environment and energy saving.

The challenge

In the bio-district, the benefits guaranteed by a single wooden house are added and multiplied: closed the doors of each house, you can appreciate the silence, ensured by the excellent sound absorption properties of the wood ; the perfect climate produced by its high insulating value, which keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer, reduces heating costs by up to 80%.

Another objective was to reduce energy consumption for the maintenance of indoor comfort, combining the choice of wood, with its excellent insulating properties, with air conditioning systems that exploited renewables and reduced energy consumption.

The high insulation led to the need to provide homes with an adequate indoor air renewal and purification system.

Another requirement was to simplify the systems for heating, cooling, air renewal and the production of domestic hot water.
