HOW TO BUILD AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE HEATER OCTOBER 22-26.2018

How to plan, design, and build a highly efficient and environmentally sustainable heater? What kind of materials should be used for this purpose? These questions will be answered at a practical workshop in the farmhouse of Tsirgu, Tohkri village, Võru County, in the course of which we will work together to build a design heater with bench.

Kachelofen Calculation 2 plus, a special calculation program developed in Austria by Österreichische Kachelofenverband, will be used for the design of these heaters to ensure maximum efficiency, low emissions, and a small ecological footprint. 

In firebox we will use special elements, developed and patented by Tuli ja suits OÜ, which ensure clean combustion process on high temperature. Using special firebox elements is quick and easy, no mortar needed.
For outer core we will use handmade adobe bricks (unfired earth bricks) and earthen mortar. Producing unfired earth brick requires about 1% of the energy needed to produce a fired brick. Raw earth materials are user-friendly and reusable.

Workshop is led by Aleksander Ljubajev, who is a:
 - member and trainer of Eestimaaehitus - Competence Center for Traditional and Ecological Building;   
 - chairman of the board of MTÜ Eesti Pottsepad (NGO Estonian Oven Builders); 
 - founder and owner of private enterprise Tuli ja suits OÜ 

Tuli Ja Suits OÜ is engaged in the design and building of environmentally sustainable heaters, in addition to providing chimney sweeping services. Some of the advantages of their heaters:
- High efficiency – starting from 80%
- Only high-quality fire clay and outer core materials
- Pure combustion with high temperatures
- Steady heat release along the entire length of the flue
- Heating automatic
- Low levels of pollution
- Combination of design and functionality
- A very precisely detailed flue forms an integrated system with the chimney, excluding the possibility of dew point     temperatures in the chimney
- Warranty
- Reliable documentation
 Conformity: EN15544 (heaters), ÖNORM B8310 (stoves), EN13384-1 (chimneys).
