Serbian Eco House

High electricity bills prompted engineer and inventor, Milenko Milenkovic to build his first eco-friendly house in the Serbian town of Boljevci. He says the dome-shaped house, 18.5 meters in diameter is up to 80 percent more energy efficient than a conventional house of the same size. The house's glass-covered dome was built from 110 square meters of solar panels and a special type of concrete. One third of the house is covered with earth and there are two layers of walls, allowing the air between to circulate and serve as insulation from heat and cold. The house is so well insulated that it maintains temperatures of 22 degrees Celsius in winter and 18 degrees Celsius in summer. Milenkovic's house is not only eco-friendly but luxurious as well with a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi and even an indoor garden. [Milenko Milenkovic, Engineer & Inventor]: (Serbian, Male) "This house, for it's functioning, needs only 10 percent additional energy in comparison to ordinary houses in Serbia. The rest of the energy for the house comes from the sun and geothermal energy." This house is just the beginning for Milenkovic. He has plans for building larger energy-efficient projects, like gymnasiums and small industrial enterprises.

@TheDusanSystem Thanks!

@DCVU2 On one side, the house is buried in the ground, that serves as insulation, a special type of concrete that was used, double walls that allow air circulation, on the other side you have solar panels that generate you electricity. So you have better insulation than you can embed on conventional homes, which saves you energy, and also using solar energy,that is environmentally safe and clean. The whole system is energy-efficient and eco-friendly

@TheDusanSystem What is the thing that keeps this house so energy efficient?

[TheDusanSystem]

@DCVU2 Its energy efficient, saves energy when you built it compared to conventional homes, they didnt say that you not need the money to build the house like this
