The south window is large in order to obtain a sufficient solar contribution during the winter to guarantee full thermal autonomy, expressed in. The position of the windows on the three sides of the house allows natural ventilation to be generated in the summer, during the night, reaching CO2 values of 400ppmv. This activity, combined with the wool insulation of the walls, guarantees a comfort temperature of 25 ° C during the day and reduced noise pollution.

The design of the building was based on ensuring high comfort and therefore low energy consumption which thanks to the large south-facing windows, the elimination of thermal bridges and an excellent air tightness equal to 0.2 (V-40), with consumption 8 Kwmq using a 2.5kw heat
