Objective
The overall objective of this project is to build an energy optimised ecological village comprising 30 houses, one clubhouse, one restaurant and service facilities in Co.Fermanagh Northern Ireland. It incorporate innovative technologies with aspects such as site/environment, access/traffic, architecture, building construction and materials, heating energy, electricity, water, sewage and waste.
ENERGY :
All energy needed comes from renewable energy sources (as soon as stage 3 is realised)
ENVIRONMENT :
- It will be demonstrated, how far man's impact on the environment can be reduced in a community scheme
- Experiences of ecological living during holidays for visitors from all over Europe
- Transfer of these experiences european wide
OTHERS :
- First environmental and energy optimised ecological project in Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
- High potential of multiplication
- Educate visitors from all over Europe towards ecological issues.
The ECo-LoC village will show how a newbuilt quarter can incorporate ecological and energy optimised features to large extent. The design focuses on a holistic approach which incorporates all energy and environmentally sensitive aspects of a development, like :
- All energy used from one source (electricity), opens the future possibility to be generated by wind only;
- Environmentally-friendly treatment of water, sewage and waste disposal, incl.recycling;
- Protection of existing landscape and trees on site;
- Environmentally sensitive layout for the entire site and planning of houses;
- Appropriate design, based on local materials and vernacular architecture;
- Increased use of recycled building materials, like chopped paper for insulation;
- New building techniques, building materials and energy saving constructions;
- Running the operation in a sustainable manner including training of staff;
- Educating and informing visitors on nature, wildlife and sustainability;
- Experience the lifestyle of an ecological village.
