1 Think of a vision where buildings c reate healthier and more comfortable lives for their occupants without having a negative impact on the climate and environment moving us towards a cleaner, healthier and safer world this is the vision of Active House

2 Active House Buildings that give more than they take

3 THE 3 PRINCIPLES Energy A building which is energy efficient and easy to operate A building which substantially exceeds the statutory minimum in terms of energy efficiency A building which exploits a variety of energy sources integrated in the overall design INDOOR CLIMATE ENERGY ENVIRONMENT Indoor Climate An indoor climate that promotes health, comfort and the sense of well-being A building which ensures good indoor air quality, an adequate t hermal climate and appropriate visual and acoustic comfort An indoor climate which is easy for occupants to control and at the same time encourages responsible environmental behavior Environment A building which exerts the minimum impact on environmental and cultural resources A building which avoids ecological damage and seeks to add to l ocal biodiversity A building which is constructed of materials having a high r ecycled content and providing the ability of its own r ecycling or re-use

9 Examples of cases Active House - Russia The First Active House in Russia is designed to set a new standard for residential house construction in Russia. The house design is based on the Active House principles. Solhuset Children in Hørsholm are playing in the most climate-friendly nursery in Denmark. Jadarhus One of the purposes of these ISOBO Aktiv houses is to test different technical solutions in one single building.

10 The First Active House in Russia The first Active House in Russia is designed to set a new standard for residential house construction in Russia. The house design is based on the Active House principles; balance between energy saving, healthy indoor climate and care for the environment all adding to the architectural quality and the well-being of the inhabitants. The project is organized and developed by one of the leading developers in the M oscow region, Zagorodny Proekt company, in cooperation with the VELUX Group. To learn more about how the building will perform under real life conditions, data will be collected for reviewing and reporting the performance of the house. The monitoring will help determine the effectiveness of the architectural and technological solutions. The house will be open for the public for 6 months after completion, after which a 12 month period will follow with test families in residence. Solhuset Location: Moscow, Russian Federation Architect: Polygon Lab Architects Engineer: Apriori Proekt Developer: Zagorodny Proekt Completion: August 2011 Jadarhus

11 solhuset - Denmark Climate-friendly nursery in Denmark. The purely architectural solutions the form of the building and the choice of m aterials including high performance glass and generous amounts of insulation ensure that even without any high-tech renewable technologies the building will use less energy than the requirements set by the 2015 Danish building regulations. But the nursery has also been equipped with a series of renewable technologies to enhance its performance even further. Strategically positioned on the southern facades of the roof are 50 square metres of solar collectors that provide heating and hot water (backed up by a heat pump), and 250 square metres of photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. In total the nursery produces 8 kilowatt hours per square metre per year, which is surplus to the building s requirements. This means that during eight months of the year, excess energy is fed back into the national grid and for the four darkest months of the year, renewable energy is bought back by the nursery. The surplus net energy production will allow the nursery to pay back all the carbon emissions created by its materials and its construction in roughly forty years. Active houe - russia Jadarhus Location: Hørsholm, Denmark Architect: Christensen & Co Architects General Contractor: Hellerup Byg A/S Engineer: Rambøll Developer: Community of Hoersholm in corporation with VKR Holding after the A ctive House principles. Completion: November 2010

12 Jadarhus ISOBO Aktiv One of the purposes of these ISOBO Aktiv houses is to test different technical s olutions in one single building. Another purpose is to look at which measures must be taken to get the best possible, optimal indoor climate, especially, with a view to avoiding super heating. Roof windows are used to help ventilating the house, but by chosing active ventilation of the house, you will need more roof windows than normally. The house is constructed as a timber house with traditional rafter construction. By using our usual construction partners, all construction units will be d elivered as precut, industrially produced by Optimera. This means that all construction parts will be delivered dry to the building site ready for assembly. The house will be sold on the condition that it should be accessible for 2 years for logging of the users experience and monitoring of the performance.
