Zero Energy-Costing Homes

The Jesolo Lido Pool Villa by JM Architecture Saves Money for Residences

— April 8, 2014 — Art & Design
JM Architecture has designed the Jesolo Lido Pool Villa in Italy as a zero energy-costing structure. Due to the warmer weather all year round in the area, combined with the insulation and materials used, the house is set to cost absolutely nothing for energy bills.

While the low maintenance costs are an advantage, there are other clear bonuses to living in the space too. The outside area features a stunning lap pool, and the inside is equipped with state-of-the-art audio and video devices built into the walls. JM Architecture is known for its simple, flat surfaces, which is clear in this design. Even the air conditioning system is hidden away in the walls and ceiling, in order to maintain the smooth look seen throughout the Jesolo Lido Pool Villa in Italy.
Trend Themes
1. Zero Energy-cost Homes - More buildings and homes will aim to decrease energy costs by incorporating new insulation and materials technology to reduce reliance on energy for heating and cooling.
2. Integrated Audio and Video Systems - More homes will feature smart technology designed to be seamlessly incorporated into the design and build of homes for a minimalist elegance.
3. Hidden Cooling Systems - More homes will have air conditioning and other energy- reliant systems hidden in the walls and ceilings to preserve the interior design and the aesthetic of the home.
Industry Implications
1. Construction Industry - Builders will increasingly use emerging materials and insulation technology like what's used in the Jesolo Lido Pool Villa to design and construct eco-friendly homes that are sustainable and energy-saving.
2. Audio and Video Technology Industry - Companies will create new technology designed to be incorporated into walls to provide invisible sound and video systems in homes, and consumers will expect this technology to be easily incorporated as part of the home building process.
3. HVAC Industry - As consumers seek out more energy-efficient homes, companies within the HVAC industry will have to find new and innovative ways to incorporate cooling and heating systems that save on energy costs, while also remaining hidden and unobtrusive in the home design.
