Practical test phase completed.
Finding an economically and eco-friendly short term heat store (24 h).
External Walls: The external walls are made of 100% ecologically stones with concrete cores where thermal solar energy is stored in winter.
The constant supply of this free energy from the solar collectors prevents external losses of transmission heat to a large extent and makes savings in heating costs of up to 20% possible.
Internal Walls, Ceilings and Foundation Plate: The building's internal walls and/or ceilings and/or foundation plate can be equipped with heat exchanger arrays to heat the rooms, which are either supplied with energy from the thermal solar power system or from an additional source of heating (pellet stove, heating pump). This energy is then released as a pleasant radiating warmth in the adjacent rooms.
First practical test phase completed.
Finding an economically and eco-friendly seasonal heat store.
The passive soil storage system beneath the building is a good-value and low-loss-term seasonal store, which uses the solar excess energy for insulation in the following heating period.
Not yet completed.
The goal of this research is to find a solution for storing the electricity (produced by thermal solar energy) in an efficient way.
A patented "flow-battery-system" can store the produced electricity to supply a residential house up to 10 days.
The electricity storage was already tested separately, but it still has to be tested together with the MiraSolaris Eco-Habitat System®.
