Energy, aesthetics and comfort HOME FOR LIFE – with humans in the centre 2 3
»One test is worth more than 1000 expert assumptions« Villum Kann Rasmussen Therefore we are building real houses and trying things in practice. The purpose is to develop new knowledge about energy efficiency, comfort and aesthetics of future houses. The houses will therefore be tested by a family for a period of one year. CO 2 emissions shall be reduced Scientists have confirmed that in 40 minutes, there is enough sun energy on the earth’s surface to cover the world’s energy use for a whole year; good information in a time where climate changes develops faster than until now expected. But it requires that we are able to »harvest« the sun – and on a much bigger scale develop and make use of new technologies. The way we build and live has a large meaning for saving the environment in our everyday lives. Energy use for construction and operation of buildings in the West makes up about 40% of the total energy use – energy that is primarily based on coal and in that way is connected to high CO emissions. There is a large challenge in developing the future building structure in such a way that it 2 optimizes the use of sun energy and decreases the CO emissions. 2 Table of contents With humans in the centre 6 Development model 7 Energy concept 8 Energy 11 Comfort 16 Aesthetics 19 Light creates space 22 Materials 24 Construction 25 VELFAC Helo ® 26 One test is worth more... 30 4 5
