FUJY-Naturally Architecture

FUJY – Naturally Architecture

The concept of sustainable development was born in the 1980s with the creation of the World Commission on the Environment and Development and is defined as “that which meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

In 1992 the Conference on the Middle Environment and Sustainable Development is celebrated, better known as the Rio Conference.
Since then, different initiatives have promoted, within the EU, the compatibility of the trinomial economy, environment and society.

In this context, since construction has a strong importance in the economic development of all countries, as an “engine of the economy”, and by producing this activity a significant impact on the natural environment, separate programs are born to raise awareness in the sector towards the issue of sustainability.

Unfortunately, the investigation carried out by the university centers and social organizations could not achieve the desired results since the proposed change involved decreasing the economic profitability of the company for various reasons, among which we can mention:

Increased execution timev
Technical complexity of the chosen systems
Difficulty of selling due to the lack of social knowledge of the real advantages brought by this type of construction.

FUJY – Naturally Architecture was born in this context, the first business initiative dedicated exclusively to standardized sustainable construction that is developed within the framework of a specific communication plan thanks to the support of leading companies in the sector.

Presentation of FUJY – Naturally Architecture

FUJY – Architecture course was established in 1999 at the hands of a ‘team of professionals from different fields (architecture, construction, marketing and communication) liderato from’ architect and expert on sustainability Luca Lancini. The mission is to promote sustainable culture by designing architecture with low environmental impact (throughout its life cycle), raising awareness in the sector and communicating its economic, social and environmental benefits.

FUJY’s strategic model envisages an innovative chain of values that reduce the environmental impact because:

It designs and builds a more efficient architecture that integrates the use of renewable energy, ensuring competitive costs thanks to the standardization of all construction processes.
It introduces sustainability as a strategy of diversification from the competence of the sector, promoting the environmental certification of companies and the improvement of processes throughout the product life cycle.
Create an environmental communication strategy that highlights tangible benefits for all target audiences (service companies, non-profit organizations, supplier companies, institutions and end customers) through a pleasant, innovative creative impact that is based on the basic concepts of social marketing.
It overcomes the brakes and the fear of buying due to the fact that it uses products from leading companies in their sector, whose prestige is in fact a guarantee for the final consumer (everything in FUJY has its own name).

Values

à Goodness (social and environmental sensitivity): Respect for the Middle Environment, Dialogue and integration (win-win), respect for human rights.
à Beauty (vanguard): Respond to current aesthetic and functional needs, use cutting-edge “green” technology; Create synergy with the business, political world and non-profit organizations.
à Benefit (economic profitability): Competitive and accessible market prices, Minimize maintenance costs, Efficiency throughout the life cycle of the “construction” product.

Pilot Project Introduction

The pilot project of FUJY – Of course architecture, designed by the architect Luca Lancini, it is a sustainable single-family villa, with high architectural and compositional value, equipped with cutting-edge technological systems.
The building uses different systems to ensure a low environmental impact during its useful life cycle: construction, use and possible recycling / reuse.

The main features of this avant-garde architecture are:

ü       Urban integration with the landscape thanks to the bioclimatic design of the building which presents a different treatment of the facades and of the lighting and ventilation spaces in each exhibition.
ü       Use of safe and renewable materials, finishes and interior furniture thanks to the use of wood of certified origin.
ü       Integration in the project of various passive systems (insulation by inertia, window frames with thermal bridge breakage, solar control blades, electric room preheating meshes, thermal glazing, solar control rotary shutters, winter gardens and solar dryer).
ü       Production of thermal energy for solar panels, high efficiency modulating condensing electronic boiler and refrigeration system for reverse radiant floor for cooling with propane gas.
ü       Access without architectural barriers and adapted bathroom for people with mobility impairments.
ü       Integrated system for controlling the energy efficiency of installations.
ü       Home automation application integrated into the home installations to ensure space safety and energy saving.
ü       Saving of non-renewable energy and water thanks to the use of:
o        Strongly insulating materials.
o        High performance lighting systems.
o        Accumulation of rainwater.
o        Recycling of black water to irrigate green spaces.
o        Use of mechanical and electronic timed taps.
o        Use of high-efficiency household appliances.
o        Introduction of the use of the domestic urinal.
· Low temperature radiant floor heating system (in winter) and cooled floor for propane gas chiller (in summer).

Structure

The Fujy pilot project is an insulated single-family villa built with thermo-acoustic brick and a bearing structure in certified wood. For the construction, cranes with gas propulsion were used and new insulating materials with low environmental impact were introduced.

Bioclimatic design

The design of the villa, according to the criteria of bioclimatic architecture, makes it possible to take advantage of the climatic characteristics of the area, characterized by a continental climate, favoring excellent comfort for the user and guaranteeing considerable energy savings. For this reason, each facade in Fujy is different: transparent but selective towards the south, closed in the north elevation, protected towards the east and west.

Winter bioclimate

Designing with bioclimatic allows you to take advantage of the heat of the sun in winter to heat the spaces thanks to the winter gardens located on the south facade. The “greenhouse” system adjusted for electric grills and home automation windows allows in turn to cool the rooms with summer temperatures.

Summer bioclimate

During the warmer seasons the Fujy house protects itself from the sun’s rays and cools itself by exploiting the natural convection and the impulse of fresh air that comes from the north facade.

Comfortable indoor air conditioning all year round

Depending on the climatic needs of the person, the winter gardens allow you to heat or cool the living spaces.
In winter, the hot air that accumulates inside is sent into the rooms while in summer the opposite happens.
Depending on the opening or closing of the two electrical networks located in the wall, in the floor and in the windows of the roof, the user can decide the warmth or coolness he likes best. The use of solar protection slats and the exit of balconies increases the bioclimatic functioning of winter gardens

Selective isolation

Aluminum frames with breakage of the thermal bridge, double glazing, with selective solar control filters and self-cleaning treatment, insulating safety shutters. The walls in thermo-acoustic brick, the pre-finished natural water-repellent plaster, the drywall cladding with recycled paper and plaster, the insulation of the reused wood fiber roof, and the interior finishes of wood that give the house a comfortable thermal inertia . Double entrance door in the north facade.

Efficient air conditioning system

Pre-heating by natural convection of winter gardens, cold / warm radiant floor with modular electronic condensing boiler, solar thermal panels, heat exchange and propane gas cooling. The independent thermal control of each room automatically adjusts the temperature of the radiant floor according to the requirements of each space.

Saving water

Rainwater collection for non-potable use: washing machine, dishwasher, toilet and irrigation of green spaces.
Mechanically and electronically timed taps. Purification of gray and black waters to irrigate green spaces.

Saving electricity

Efficient lighting system. Automatic switching on and off of the lights in the services and transit areas by means of presence detectors. High performance appliances. Differentiated lighting system based on the expected hours of use. Solar dryer with opaque glass.

Design and functionality

A privileged space that allows you to cook while looking at the external landscape, a separate waste collection system integrated into the furniture, efficient appliances, electronic taps and coatings that guarantee maximum hygiene is Fujy’s proposal for the kitchen environment.
Bathrooms and access adapted for people with motor disabilities, temporary or permanent.
In the bathrooms, Fujy proposes the use of timed taps, the safety of the automatic switching on / off of the lights thanks to presence sensors and the recycle of rainwater for the toilet tank. “Who would think of drinking Water water?”.
The ceramic coating, the state-of-the-art sanitary ware and the use of quartz guarantee maximum hygiene and a modern and welcoming design.

Interior finishes, safety and comfort

Walls dry plaster false ceilings with recycled paper, external platform, wooden doors and panels, natural paints and varnishes, ceramic floors and quartz countertops.
Integral security system thanks to applied home automation, use of armored glass, electric security shutters guarantee protection against theft, fire and flooding of all spaces in the house.
Natural light is controlled in all areas of the house to allow maximum comfort.
The use of automatic self-locking shutters with variable inclination, together with the installation of colored armored glass, allows you to adjust the light level of the spaces according to the user’s needs.
