Description: The Zenaga Foundation has the office in a building that generates more renewable energy than needed for office use and use by a family of five. The photovoltaic system generates more than 11,000 kwh of electricity. Building use requires less than 6,500 kwh for heating and electricity for light and appliances. This positive balance was achieved by a sophisticated system of good technology (underfloor heating, ventilation system with heat recovery, etc.) and good building materials (triple-glazed windows, thick walls, etc.). The building is sustainable, as critical building materials such as Styrofoam have been dispensed with. Today, the Zenaga Foundation is regularly visited by international delegations who learn about the know-how and experience. More information - Facebook: Zenaga Foundation
