‘La Mejicana’ project consists of the repair, modernization, consolidation, and energy improvement of a single-family house in Aldán.

Alba Balmaseda was the architect in charge of the development of this project, which was nominated for the contemporary architecture prize of the European Union, Van der Rohe Award.

Starting point

The house is located on a privileged plot of land facing the Aldán estuary A treasure that was received from its first inhabitants, a Galician and a German who migrated to Mexico at the time the house was built.

This project is a renovation of an existing building It would be impossible to build a new house in such close proximity to the seafront, given the strict Spanish regulations on coastal protection.

Energy improvement is an important focus in this project that had to go in hand with the house’s modernization.

Customer doubts and preferences

The existing building’s renovation takes into account its energy improvement. Consequently, the architect Alba Balmaseda contacted us so that we would carry out an energy study of the Project and value the most cost-effective and efficient solution.

From the very beginning, both the new owners of the house and the architect of the Project were clear about the use of a renewable system for its climatization and DHW, seeking energy savings without giving up comfort.

Our proposal

At the time of presenting our proposal, we took into account the characteristics of the building, the climatic zone where it is located, and its new inhabitant´s needs, all perfectly coordinated and planned with the architect and the construction company.

From the very beginning, both the new owners of the house and the architect of the Project were clear about the use of a renewable system for its climatization and DHW, seeking energy savings without giving up comfort.

The result of this energy study concluded that the best energy solution for the project was the installation of a reversible air-source heat pump capable of providing heating and cooling with underfloor heating on the ground floor and fan coil units on the second floor.

The installation

Finally,the installationconsisted of the following elements:

Air-source heat pump

Air source heat pumpfrom the Austrian manufacturer iDM model iPump A3-13, with reversible hot-cold process.

DHW storage tank

The heat pump integrates a 200Ldomestic hot water(DHW) storage tank.

Heating and cooling buffer tank

For the heating and cooling inertia, we installed a 300-liter storage tank from Enertres, model DPI-300F, made of carbon steel with rigid polyurethane insulation. This tank has an oversized volume in case a photovoltaic installation is integrated in the future to be able to take advantage of the thermal use of the photovoltaic surplus.

To have better control of the installation, we placed humidity and temperature sensors in three representative areas of the house. The Navigator Procontrol system, which integrates theiDM equipment, allows us to vary the supply temperature based on the information provided by these sensors. In this way, we guarantee comfort throughout the house with the minimum energy cost.

Regulation and control

In addition, both the underfloor heating installed on the ground floor and the fan coilson the second floor include their own regulation, so we can have different temperatures in each room in both heating and cooling mode.

The installation can also be regulated remotely and free of charge through the manufacturer’s app.

Underfloor heating (Ground floor)

With climate control per room with supply temperature control and climate compensation depending on the outdoor temperature and indoor temperature, using 8 channel-zone modules and temperature and humidity sensors via cable. Control via NAVIGATOR 2.0 controller of the heat pump.

Fan convectors (top floor and underfloor heating)

  • • 2 ST 200 two-pipe, surface-mounted fan coil units.
  • 2 ventiloconvectores ST 400 de dos tubos instalados en superficie.
  • • 3 NC 400 two-pipe, recessed in false ceilingfan coil units.
  • • 1 fan coil NC600 two-pipe, recessed in false ceiling fan coil unit NC600.
  • Remote modulatingelectronic regulation for the control of the 4 fan coil units recessed in the ceiling, using 3 wall-mounted remote control panels with a display.
  • • 4 modulating electronic controlunits with WiFi module for surface fan coil units.
  • • Thermal emission system using towel rails installed in each of the bathrooms.

The best energy is the one transmitted by our customers

  • All
  • Professionalism
  • Reliability
  • Saving
  • Quickness of response

We were delighted with the installation. We wanted thermal emitters for our village house and everything went perfectly, they work very well. The installation was very simple and fast, fulfilling perfectly with what they offered us. They are very professional and attentive. We will work with them again.

The geothermal installation plus photovoltaic panels was a success. The comfort and energy consumption that we were guaranteed was fulfilled, and despite our initial distrust towards this type of renewable energy, now we can only say that we recommend it 100%.

Excellent company. You contact them and they quickly go to your home to decide what its ideal installation could be, solving any questions you may have. They have better prices compared to other renewable energy companies. Fast and well-executed installation. In my case, I asked for the Inega subsidy, and as an authorized installation company they take care of everything, being the first to get it so that you do not run out of it. If I had to do any other installation, I would contact them without hesitation.

Pincheiro AT, our apartment complex in A Pobra do Caramiñal, bets on renewable energies, especially geothermal and photovoltaic technology. We can assure you that Energanova has greatly fulfilled all our expectations. We can confirm, and this is difficult, the honesty of this company since what was budgeted at the beginning corresponds reliably to what we have been invoiced. We can only say on the part of Pincheiro AT that we feel in good hands both for what has been done on-site and in terms of the timely follow-up being performed.

We have had an excellent experience with Energanova. They have complied with the deadlines, the staff was very professional, and the work was clean and very fast for both geothermal energy and photovoltaic panels. We applied for the grants of the Xunta de Galicia and they were in charge of managing it completely. We are very pleased with our choice, both for the treatment and the result of the installation.

We only have good words regarding the solution provided by Energanova. In our case, it was an air-source heat pump and solar panels. Our house is finally warm in winter and cool in summer with a monthly cost much lower than what we were previously paying. I strongly recommend Energanova as a solution to your needs.

Great company and quick installation. We renewed our old geothermal machine for one of the best in the market. The savings are impressive, and the electricity bill has fallen radically, but for me, the best thing is the after-sales service. You can obtain assistance at any time, both by telephone and face-to-face. Great job!

I can say that they are a company in which at all times both the technical advice and professional treatment were according to my needs. If you are thinking about installing a heating/air conditioning system, do not hesitate to consider them as an option, because they are undoubtedly a solvent and serious company, which in these times is often difficult to find. Thank you Energanova!

We have had at home an air-source heat pump and a photovoltaic system installed by the company Energanova for a few months. As regards savings, at the moment our electricity bill has decreased by 70% and we no longer have to order diesel! If someone is encouraged to install renewable systems, I recommend that they look for a professional company. We are very happy with our choice.

Well, I have to say that on this occasion my satisfaction is maximum and I want to congratulate the whole Energanova team for its professionalism through this review. Nowadays it is not easy to find companies that do things well, and I must tell you that this company does them very well.
