They trusted VANBOOM to manage the entire process—from design and permitting to the final realization."Energy-Positive PerformanceThe roof's integrated solar panels are optimally oriented to the south, ensuring the home generates more energy than it consumes. This contributes to an ultra-low energy bill and a minimal ecological footprint. The smart heat pump system, supported by PVT panels, further enhances the home's energy-positive credentials.Text description provided by the architects.We are proud to present VANBOOM's first energy-positive home: the VB56. This sustainable wooden prefab house, featuring three spacious bedrooms and a net floor area of 76 m², is entirely energy-neutral. The VB56 reflects VANBOOM's dedication to creating sustainable, custom-built homes tailored to the unique desires of each client.Sustainable Prefab MaterialsVANBOOM's use of sustainable and circular materials is exemplified by the VB56, which is constructed from 80% wood, including the structure, insulation, cladding, stairs, and frames. This extensive use of wood not only reduces the home's carbon footprint but also stores CO2, contributing to a greener planet. The prefab elements used in the VB56's construction significantly cut transport emissions and minimize on-site build time, with the house being made wind and waterproof in just three days.
