Lucid Design Group will design the system for visualization of the electricity produced and used in the hotel.
The technical design is initiated in the year 2005 by “Time – Eco Projects” Foundation, after “Europe 2003” program, and it is supported by the program for development of the United Nations.
Unlike similar eco centers in the USA, Great Britain, Italy and the Netherlands, functioning as museums and expositions, the innovations at “Hilltop” will be in real conditions.
The construction is expected to be started during the third trimester of the present year, and it will last for two years. 40% of the necessary resources are ensured at present.
THE BUILDING
The building has total area of 1660 square meters, divided into two separate sections, with a general power main body between them. Natural and eco materials will be used for the construction, and the building will be constructed in such a way that all rooms could take full advantage of the sunlight, for heating and lighting. The innovation “Thromb wall” will help that happen through its three layers – a single glass with inside blinds, air, and accumulative stone wall. There will be drainage around the building, because of the strongly inclined lot. The heat insulation of and around the groundwork is necessary, since great part of the heat flows from there. All illuminants will be supplied by a built-in photovoltaic mini panel and a battery. The flooring of the car drive will be made of perforated ceramic tiles. The waste separation will be done in a separate wooden building, situated on an eleven meters’ distance from the main building. There will be an underground heat exchanger, at a depth of 1,5 meters, with an opening at the east side of the lot, in the orchard, and it will ensure the intake of air, rich in oxygen.
