This Bachelor’s thesis focuses on the design of a nearly zero-energy single-family house in the suburb of Vyškov. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with architectural and structural design, building physics, and fire safety design. The second part focuses on energy performance of the house and design of building services, particularly concept designs of electrical system, mechanical ventilation, water supply, and wastewater drainage system, as well as a detailed design of the underfloor heating system.
The house is designed for a family of four. It has a simple rectangular plan. The house has two floors, divided into a social area on the ground floor and a private area on the first floor. The house also has an adjacent garage for one car. The social zone includes an open-space kitchen, a study, a toilet, a dressing room, a pantry, and a utility room. The private zone includes a master bedroom, two bedrooms, a toilet, and a bathroom. The house is based on reinforced concrete foundation strips. The walls are made of ceramic thermal insulation blocks, and the horizontal structures and stairs are made of reinforced concrete slabs. A terrace is located above the ground floor, whereas a flat green roof is located above the first floor and the garage.
An air-to-water heat pump connected to a storage tank provides heat for both space heating and domestic hot water heating. Rainwater collected from the roofs is stored in a retention tank and used for garden irrigation. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof, contributing to the power supply for household electrical consumption. The energy performance of the house is classified as energy class A.
