Aerothermal energy, solar panels and other systems to save energy

How aerothermal energy, solar panels and home automation allow you to reduce energy consumption and enjoy more sustainable and efficient homes.

Comfort inside a home does not depend only on the design or its facilities. A key aspect —and often underestimated— is thermal and acoustic insulation. A well-insulated home is not only more energy efficient, but also offers greater well-being, privacy and quality of life.

Below, we tell you about the main insulation materials and systems used today, their advantages and in which cases it is appropriate to use them.

At FILA we have been working for decades on construction solutions that improve energy efficiency, both in traditional construction and in industrialized housing. This experience has allowed us to verify which materials work best for each situation.

1. Aerothermal: efficiency with air energy

Aerothermal energy is one of the most efficient systems for air conditioning a home. It works by extracting the energy contained in the outside air —even at low temperatures— to transform it into heating, cooling or domestic hot water.

Advantages of aerothermal energy:

• Energy savings of up to 70% compared to traditional systems.
• A single machine for heating, cooling and DHW.
• Very low CO₂ emissions.
• High durability and less maintenance.
• Ideal for well-insulated homes, such as industrial ones.
• For new projects or deep renovations, aerothermal has become one of the most recommended solutions thanks to its reliability and efficiency.
• Roofs and facade envelopes.

2. Solar panels: renewable energy and self-consumption

Photovoltaic solar panels allow you to generate your own electricity by taking advantage of the sun's radiation. It is one of the most widespread systems in efficient homes.

Benefits of solar panels:

• They reduce the electricity bill by up to 60–90%.
• Possibility of dumping surplus into the network and obtaining compensation.
• Clean, silent and low-maintenance system.
• Useful life of more than 25 years.
• Perfect complement for aerothermal or electric vehicle chargers.

In industrialized construction, the integration of solar panels is especially simple: it is designed from the beginning and executed with precision in the factory and on site.

3. Heat recovery systems

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (VMC) allows the renewal of indoor air without wasting energy. It extracts stale air from the home and uses its temperature to heat or cool the incoming air.

Why it is so efficient:

• Reduces heating and cooling consumption.
• Guarantees healthier indoor air.
• Eliminates humidity, CO₂ and particles.
• Improves comfort in airtight homes.

This system is especially useful in modern homes with high levels of insulation.

4. Home automation and intelligent consumption management

Home automation allows you to control and monitor energy consumption in real time.

Common applications:

• Automatic regulation of heating and air conditioning.
• Management of lights according to presence or natural light.
• Control of solar self-consumption.
• Optimization of the operation of aerothermal systems.
• Precise measurement of consumption by zones or equipment.

A connected home helps avoid unnecessary consumption and improves daily comfort.

5. Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is an efficient solution that works at low temperatures, making it the ideal companion for aerothermal heating.

Key advantages:

• Greater thermal comfort and uniform heat distribution.
• Significant energy savings.
• Compatible with cooling in summer.
• Invisible and without radiators.

Which system is the most recommended?

It depends on the type of home, the climate and usage habits. But in many cases, the most efficient combination is a mix of all possible options:

Aerothermal + Radiant floor + Solar panels + Home automation

A set that allows you to drastically reduce consumption, increase comfort and move towards a self-sufficient home.
At FILA, from our commitment to industrialized construction, we integrate these technologies from the design phase: this reduces errors, optimizes installation and guarantees maximum system performance.
