Air conditioning is a fundamental aspect to consider in any construction project, especially in hot climates like that of the Costa del Sol. In this case, the project in El Madroñal required a complete solution that would offer thermal comfort throughout the year, regardless of the outside temperature.
The air conditioning in the construction project
Karma Clima designed and installed an integrated air conditioning and heating system consisting of a Mini VRV IV air conditioning with Daikin heat pump and Uponor underfloor heating, along with a home automation control system that allows for easy and efficient programming and management of the various elements of the system.
Regarding the air conditioning, the Daikin Mini VRV IV model is an efficient and reliable solution that allows for the air conditioning of several rooms through a single unit.
The heat pump system allows for heating in winter and cooling in summer, with an adjusted energy consumption. In addition, its compact design allows for integration in small spaces without sacrificing performance.
Underfloor heating
Uponor underfloor heating is a water-based heating system that uses the floor surface as a thermal emitter, providing uniform and pleasant heat throughout the room.
The installation of this system was carried out using cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes that are incorporated into the structure of the floor before the final finish is applied. This type of underfloor heating is compatible with all types of floor coverings and offers considerable energy savings compared to other heating systems.
Domestic hot water
The 260-liter integrated althermas are domestic hot water production systems that combine a heat pump with a water storage tank. This type of system allows for obtaining hot water using renewable energy, thus reducing energy consumption and the household’s carbon footprint. In addition, their integration into the air conditioning system allows for greater use of the generated energy, improving the overall efficiency.
Home automation control
Finally, the home automation control system allows for the programming and management of the different elements of the heating and cooling system in a simple and efficient way. This system enables remote management of the temperature and other parameters of the system, as well as the scheduling of usage patterns and routines that allow for greater energy and cost savings.
In summary, the single-family housing project in El Madroñal, Benahavís, carried out by Karma Clima in 2021, is an example of a complete and integrated solution for the heating and cooling of a home. The combination of a Daikin Mini VRV IV air conditioner with a heat pump, Uponor radiant floor heating, and 260-liter integrated Althermas, along with a home automation control system, allows for thermal comfort throughout the year while reducing energy consumption and improving the efficiency of the system as a whole.
In addition, this solution offers other benefits such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the use of renewable energy sources, and the possibility of programming and remotely managing the system.
