Differences between Home for Life<br />
and a traditional single family house<br />
In Home for Life, there is more daylight, fresh air and contact between inside and outside,<br />
because the window area is almost double the area of that of a single family house. The<br />
house produces the energy that is consumed and therefore there is no energy expense<br />
or impact on the environment. In Home for Life there is a healthy and comfortable indoor<br />
climate and the interaction between energy, comfort and aesthetics creates an architectural<br />
composition. Since several of the energy technologies and energy optimising building<br />
components are not yet on the market, Home for Life is more expensive to build than<br />
a traditional house today.<br />
Energy regulation codes<br />
Energy use in Home for Life conforms to a low energy class 1. But in contradic-<br />
tion to other regulation codes Home for Life produces it's own energy.<br />
