Moreover, the housing maintenance bill for a bio-climatic design is about 10 % that of a traditional house.
According to ProTV news, such residence costs 230,000 euros, but the investment is worth making because the owner pays a small amount of maintenance.
"All the equipment are basically used much less in such a house, compared to any traditional home. In fact, using 10 times less, so the same equipment, same pump will last much longer than any other pump, "says the developer Leonidas Anastasopoulos.
Passive houses produce their own electricity and the heat is provided by solar panel systems for hot water and heating pipes air chamber, no need for radiators.
The fact that the owner pays very little maintenance means, for the bank, that it has more money with which to pay rates.
This is based on mortgage as green loans. "We're talking about a significant risk lower for the green houses. Because they have much lower energy costs, repair costs much smaller, tenants more healthy – which is very important so that you can pay your bills if you are healthy, " explained to the cited source, Steven Borncamp CEO RoGBC.
So far, banks in Romania offers such preferential loans, that only people who purchase homes or apartments that meet the highest energy efficiency standards in Europe and the world. Interest rates are lower, but so are the rates.
The owner of an apartment built on the principles of bio-climatic design is part of a reduction of more than 850 euro per year compared to a normal loan.
So far, so green buildings were built in Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj and Timis, and designers argue that by savings on bills, the apartments pay their own rates of 3-4 year credit.
Such a passive house costs on average 10-20 % more than traditional ones connected to the national electricity and gas networks.
