Eco-friendly, sustainable and high-tech

At a time when energy efficiency and sustainability issues involve increasingly different spheres of our daily lives, green building is also experiencing a strong and constant growth trend. Brusa Buildings is specialized in highly technological, eco-friendly low energy houses and together with ABB they propose prestigious, highly technological eco-friendly housing solutions.

A new perspective

After all, a modern wooden house is no longer a “simple mountain cabin” as one might imagine - a construction that hardly fits into an urban setting even though it may possess a romantic look - but an extremely advanced, technological construction, even futuristic in some respects. Substantially similar in appearance to concrete houses since the wooden parts are covered by materials that resemble those used for traditional buildings, in actual fact wooden houses offer remarkable benefits: eco-sustainability, energy savings, comfort and construction rate thanks to the characteristics of the materials, technical solutions and plant engineering technology used.

Each housing project is tailor-made

All materials that together provide the very highest performance as to thermal and acoustic insulation, plus tangible benefits when it comes to energy saving and livability. But that's not all. Specific and accurate engineering provides the structure with totally earthquake-resistant characteristics. These are homes that emanate wellbeing. They are pleasant to live in and economical to run because they are self-sufficient energy-wise.

UNO family - Energy efficient & smart

Solar thermal systems and PV panels or systems that make use of geothermal energy are the main “providers” of clean, renewable energy that costs almost nothing. In addition, the home automation applications developed with ABB enhance the level of comfort and security that characterizes day-to-day life. Last but not least, these houses are quick to assemble, a positive aspect that saves construction costs.

In particular, the UNO family includes inverters for residential applications and is the ideal solution for small-size installations. These single-phase string inverters perfectly complement the number of solar panels usually installed on rooftops and ensure extremely efficient energy production, depending on the size of the system. They are fully sealed and able to withstand the harshest ambient conditions.

Mylos free@home - Just a touch

Just the lightest touch of your finger on a Mylos control device of the ABB-free@home system and your home will come to life thanks to the rapid user-friendly interface. The new 4.3’’ ABB-free@home Touch control panel handles up to 16 free@home functions centrally. A flush-mounted device with internal thermostat with Comfort, Eco and OFF functions can be also be expanded by adding an external temperature sensor (optional), useful in the case of modern floor heating systems. ABB-free@home Touch 7'' is the connecting link between the ABB-free@home home automation system and ABB-Welcome video door entry system. It is a touch panel of simple, minimal design that allows up to 16 home automation functions to be controlled while acting as an indoor station of the video door entry system.

Welcome M video door entry systems

The Welcome M system is the key that opens up new possibilities both outside and inside the home. Comfort, the highest level of security and design with minimum impact were the concepts when this new video door entry system was created. Welcome M perfectly integrates the Mylos free@home automation system. In addition, the door entry system can be controlled remotely by a mobile app.

MISTRAL consumer units

Any type of energy distribution installation can be created in industrial, services-providing and residential locations using MISTRAL consumer units. Ample internal space enables cables to be effortlessly routed while making the job easier for the installer, all to the advantage of orderly wiring. The MISTRAL range fits perfectly to the rest of ABB's products: terminal boxes, circuit breakers, residual current devices, surge protective devices, fuse holders and many more can be installed in the units to create any type of installation.

Partnership that works excellent for both parties

“Our partnership – explains Andrea Brusa – with ABB began over a decade ago and it's something we hold in high regard for the solutions proposed, the quality of the materials used and especially for the assistance that ABB is able to provide. For us, the ability to liaise with the ABB sales and technical staff is a key strength since, besides proposing the most innovative solutions, they provide support during the project development stage. In addition, their ability to propose solutions to problems ‘on site’ has always proved invaluable. A core added value, one that ensures the quality of our product and allows us to complete our work on schedule”.
