Swedish homes use less energy for heating than those in any other country. They maintain the highest standards of indoor comfort, even at the higher temperatures Swedes prefer. In this book, three U.S. scientists look closely at the building practices and technologies along with the interaction between consumer demand and government incentives that have made Swedish homes a model of high quality and low fuel consumption. In the course of the two-year study, the authors interviewed leaders in every sector of the Swedish housing industry.
