The knowledge that Masdar City collected since its start in 2008, is now taken to the next level with the construction of its first concept sustainable villa that generates enough solar energy to power the home year-round. The Eco-Villa will meet a growing demand for family homes in the rapid growing city of Abu-Dhabi. Its high-performance solar panels will generate approximately 40.000 kWh per year, enough to fulfill the demand of about 39.000 kWh each year. The villas are estimated to use 35% less water than standard villas, thanks to low flow toilets, water saving showers and other innovative water conservation measures.
The Eco-Villa consultant decided to use high quality, highly accurate and silent Barcol-Air VAV terminals to provide an optimal indoor climate for the occupants.
