So far, around ten of these houses have been built
(4 in Novi Sad, in Sombor, Zaječar, Ljig... (Serbia)). The first
one was built in 1979, and all relevant factors concerning this
construction method have been monitored. It has been shown that the energy
savings in this solar sod house are 85%, tenants are very satisfied
with accommodation, and the construction costs are less than the
construction of the over-ground house. This type of house
was the first to have both a high degree of construction savings and heating
savings. Watch eco-house videos

Instead of a traditional roof, ecological house has a layer
of soil, protecting the house from low winter and high summer temperatures.
In addition, walls are protected from erosion. Ecological house does not
require deep foundation, large area for heating material, heating installations
etc.

Savings in heating is based on reflecting surfaces i.e.
surfaces that reflect direct and diffuse radiation of the Sun (around 80%).
These are glossy coats (of lacquer and paint), aluminium foils and metal
sheets on hard surface. You can also use milk-white paint, which is also
acceptable since there is not much diffusion loss because the reflecting
surfaces are positioned next to the window.
The upper reflecting surface is built into the eaves of
the object and is fixed. The lower one is positioned under the window and
can serve as a shutter.
Special attention should be paid to reflecting surfaces,
since they are the cheapest solar device which, in addition to heating,
also increases the presence of light within the object.
Glossy foils, metal sheets and coats on hard surface can
be positioned on upper or lower part of the house. Upper reflecting surface
is fixed and built into the eaves, and the lower one is movable and can
be used as a shutter.
Reflecting surfaces are the cheapest solar device which,
in addition to heating, also increases the presence of light within the
object. Eco house in Novi Sad (Serbia), for example, had savings in lightning
of 30%.

successfully, without blinding the tenants

Veljko Milković still develops and
improves this principle of building the self-heating eco-houses.
Experiences from past years
The owners of self-heating solar sod
houses or eco houses do not have to worry about the heating material, they
are protected from noise and vibrations, which places this solution amongst
best achievements in the world - says
one of the users Aleksandar Nikolić.
VIDEOS
OF SELF-HEATING ECO-HOUSE
Watch the videos
of Self-heating eco-house with the reflecting surfaces located
in Novi Sad (Serbia) owned by Mr. Aleksandar Nikolić who lives in that house
with his family more than 12 years and who speaks, in this video, about
his positive experience of living in such house stating the advantages of
building that eco-house with the reflecting surfaces... - see

Veljko Milković is the ideological
creator (author) of this self-heating eco-house concept with the reflecting
surfaces and the owner of this eco-house in Novi Sad (Serbia), Aleksandar
Nikolić did a construction project for presented eco-house.
Details on self-heating sodhouse and eco house
can be found in the book "Ecological houses"
which had four editions so far. For information about eco-house, you can
contact the author Veljko Milković,
who is ready for any form of cooperation and further application of self-heating
eco houses.
