To the Republic Of Moldova until Nine Hundred Ninety One the tiny nation was part of the soviet union and its still very dependent on russia for gas in fact gas makes up a small davis in coal costs. The government is determined to step up its reliance on Renewable Energy switching time is having an influence. On housing. Reported be careful as they now wanted to find out more and spend some time on
a rather unusual Construction Site. Its nine am at a Building Site on the edge of the mall to Open Capital Kishi now twenty young people have come from All Over The World to build a house together. Gordon voice to from the german Nonprofit Organization build and grow it explains that the builders are actually Business Professionals who are working to help poor families here. I often see the emptiness and enter dissatisfaction of my colleagues who devise strategies but never get to see the end result this project is completely different here the team works towards a common goal and changes lives and. Voiced is twenty six years old and works as a Business Consultant for an International Company over the past year hes already built one house together with his colleagues and i mulled over in construction company. The company is called human eco walls and it specializes in the
particularly Energy Efficient prefab Building System the young firm is a socalled Social Business ten percent of their building projects and houses are for socially disadvantaged people Anatole Mallon see it is one of the founders. The way we build. Approximately we make the homes at least seventy five percent more efficient a Traditional Home building. And yeah i think we can contribute through this climate. Change initiatives and also protect our environment over words and even the even though less import from other countries. Most Housing Blocks in moldova were built during soviet times the insulation is poor or in some cases nonexistent in the winter time the heating costs eat up about a third of a normal income those who manage to put
a little money aside retrofit insulation to their apartments. But the Mustapha Family cant afford it they have two children their son is severely disabled and requires round the clock parental care. We live on the first floor and here is often very cold by contrast those on the fifth floor nearly die of heat in the summer. Splint on the first and top floor there are always problems. With the roof leaks or youre plagued by Cockroaches Mice and bed bugs because the cell is too cold. To me. Now the most of us will be moving into the new house thats currently being assembled by the Business Professionals their tiny apartment isnt really suited to a disabled persons needs. But the most of us wont only have a new Home Alexandru who is an artist and designer will have
a new job too. Something of a metaphor for the cause of dog intrigue in the future ill be working as a consultant for unocal alls. I have some ideas about different ways that one can build the facade to avoid well trodden design and attract a more Exclusive Clientele to welcome but not too complicated. I think they could make good use of my. I swim my face with you. The individual components of the new house are made in a factory in the countrys Northwest Alexandra Mustafa has come here to see which facades the Company Offers so far. Each house is unique the design of the most of her familys home also originated on a computer here. The most important Building Materialist Timber the company uses the leftover scraps for firewood what you see behind me here is the stack of
raw woods that we import or we either buy from moldova we cut it to exact size for our panels all the residue wood is used to heat up this entire home. Each panel consists of a wooden frame which is then filled with polystyrene sheets. Its a plastic but its unbeatable in terms of weight and density then the panel is sealed with fireproof and waterproof sheeting. Ottery on vo nick and his colleagues from unique are keen to pass on their expertise so they hold regular lectures at moldovas technical university. The university which is training up the engineers of tomorrow has made Energy Supply and efficiency one of its core themes. The situation is not good right now because. It depends wholly on one county in terms of for gas. And. Troll. For us its very important to gifts for such sources. Its day three on the Construction Site and the house is standing now its time to fit the windows. The basic Construction CostFifty Thousand Euros a part of that was financed by donations from the Volunteer Workers in two hours the keys will be handed over the Insulation Waterproofing still have to be added to the roof everyone is going hammer and tongs to get it finished. I think its totally in all that i can stay in europe and say ok im going to work on this project and know where my money is going. In the evening its time for the big moment. The most of our family are given the keys to their new home. And its time to celebrate. Meanwhile the family can now inspect their new rooms. And since i met my husband we dreamed of one day owning our own home. Now that dream is a reality its all a bit overwhelming just super. Some of the team want to take part in the next House Building project to make another family happy.
