Indoor climate
Innovation and Tradition
Step House is an example of the natural merging of good design and modern building technology. In Step House you have a good starting point for creating a healthy indoor climate, minimizing the long-term impact on the environment and at the same time keeping your costs for heating at the lowest level possible.
Solar heating
The sunlight contributes with passive solar energy through the south-faced windows and you benefi t directly from the resources of nature. On hot summer days electrically operated awning blinds are perfect for reducing the solar gain when it is not called for and keeping rooms cool. The external awning blind provides effective protection against the heat, stopping the sunlight before it reaches the glass while allowing pleasant diffused light into the room.
To go one step further in using the energy of the sun, you can add solar panels that contribute to the heating of the water for the household. Step House is designed so that this feature can be added as a natural part of the expression of the house. The VELUX solar collectors are integrated in the modular system of VELUX roof windows and offer one of the best performances on the market.
Ventilation
When trying to avoid heat loss, the necessity for ventilation is often overlooked. The modern well-insulated and air-tight dwelling in particular is exposed to high humidity due to normal domestic activities and the humid air cannot escape the dwelling. One way to secure a good and healthy indoor climate is to ventilate regularly and to keep the room temperature at a suitable level.
In the summer the need for ventilation often exceeds the basic air renewal. Natural ventilation makes use of the pressure difference generated by external wind conditions and by the temperature difference inside and outside. The high ceiling on the attic fl oor creates a powerful natural fl ow upwards when the air is heated. The combination of supplying air through facade windows and leading the exhaust air out the highly placed roof windows results in effective ventilation of the air in the dining and living areas of the house.
Wireless installations make your HARTL Haus an intelligent home. You can control the electrical light, roller shutters and other devices. When the sky clouds over, you need not worry about open roof windows. The VELUX INTEGRA® roof windows are fi tted with a rain censor and will close automatically when the fi rst drops fall. These windows are also prepared for the addition of blinds and shutters that can be operated from one and the same remote control. Advanced radio frequency technology is the core of the new io-homecontrol® standard.
Wood is the basic building material in a HARTL house. This natural raw material offers a pleasant atmosphere and warmth in the home. It is also a very suitable material for house building because of its low weight, high strength, unique insulation properties and numerous manufacturing possibilities.
The wood construction is predestined to reduce the CO2 exhaust considerably when you live in the house. This takes place through energysaving building and the application of tested, ecological building materials. The HARTL house top wall technology (HARTL House Top Wandtechnologie) in terms of optimum heat and sound insulation is the result of a perfect combination of innovation and tradition and this guarantees individual quality of living at the highest level.

Step +1 +2
Step 1
The expansion of the living area is an investment in life quality. Connected to the kitchen you will have a dining area large enough for hosting dinner parties or the every day life of a big family. The extended living room upstairs has a spacious and relaxed atmosphere.
Step 2
If a need for more bedrooms occurs, you can add an extra section without affecting the main installations of the house. On the ground floor you can choose between two bedrooms or one large room. Upstairs the former bedroom can be turned into a large bathroom. The installations were preinstalled in the Basic Step and sealed under the floor.

Step 3
In theory, the adding of rooms could go on endlessly on this side of the house. In practice, two steps could be very functional, for instance for a family with two children. The children get their own department with two separate rooms and a common area for playing. Upstairs, the extra room could serve as a home offi ce for the parents or a dressing room connected to the master bedroom.
