SUSTAINABILITY
This villa has been designed not only with an emphasis on comfort and architecture, but also with energy-efficient living in mind. An A+ energy rating underlines the sustainable character of the property. Thanks to the fully insulated building envelope, heat loss is kept to a minimum, creating a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year.
The property is heated by a recently renewed air-to-water heat pump, providing an efficient and energy-conscious source of heating. Combined with the high level of insulation, this results in contemporary living comfort with responsible energy consumption.
