Low energy house 2010 - feasibility study

The objective with this feasibility study is to plan research and demonstration activities, aiming to identify the design and features of the standard Danish low energy house year 2010. This project aims at achieving the ambitious energy goals through a synergy with other driving forces bringing changes in the building sector, such as the need for an overall sustainability of buildings, improved building quality, improved indoor climate and improved living qualities, and improved architectural standards for new housing. This project seeks to establish dynamic and flexible consortia between research institutes, building industry, clients, consultants and financing institutes for housing, these consortia being targeted towards Low Energy House
2010. This project is closely linked to two Danish strategic framework programs, one focusing on the new building year 2005, the other focusing on buildings year 2030. Furhtermore, the project relates to the Danish Solar Energy Plan of Action 1998 - 2000, and the European 5th Framework Program for Research, Demonstration and Dissemination, FP5, 1998 - 2002. Finally this Danish feasibility study will contribute to, and benefit from participation in the planned IEA SHC activity 'IEA Task 28: Solar sustainable Housing', which also runs through a feasibility study phase in 1999
