Gorgeous BioCasa_82 is Made From 99% Recyclable Materials and Powered by 100% Renewable Energy

Nestled into the pastoral landscape of Treviso, Italy, BioCasa_82 is a beautiful home that boasts some seriously energy-efficient technologies. Italian architect Rosario Picciotto designed the project, whilst <a href="http://www.welldom.it/" target="_blank">Welldom</a> dealt with the construction process. The building was made using 99% recyclable materials, and it's powered completely by renewable energy sources. Its tailor-made sustainable strategies were employed in a bid to secure <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/leed-platinum/" target="_blank">LEED Platinum</a> certification.

Built for Diadora CEO, Enrico Moretti Polegato and his wife Claudia, the house reaches levels of sustainability rarely seen in residential architecture.

BioCasa_82 is one of the few private residences in the world to have privately conducted <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/low-carbon-footprint/" target="_blank">carbon footprint</a> analysis with great results.

With 117 points out of 136, according to the American protocol LEED Platinum, and 10 out of 11 points in regards to innovation in design, the building is a real gem in the European building practice.

Thanks to the “Welldom Method” (a unique construction process developed by Giovanni Fabris, founder of Welldom), the house provides maximum comfort while deploying state-of-the-art sustainable technologies.

According to the carbon footprint analysis, BioCasa_82 yields 60% less emissions than traditional buildings. Its photovoltaic system produces around 14kWh/mq of electricity, and a high-efficiency geothermal plant provides heat, hot water and cooling.

Moroso sofas provide a stylish and comfortable atmosphere in the living room.
