Abstract
In an earlier stage of the project, low-energy small house solutions comprising energy-saving equipment and structural alternatives were conceptualized, and provisional calculations were made to compare the heating energy consumption and costs of the various house concepts. The target levels of heating energy consumption in the low-energy small houses were 75 %, 50 %, 25 % and less than 25 % of the heating energy consumption in a building representative of present-day construction methods. From the various low-energy small house solutions, one of each consumption category was selected for more detailed examination and design work. This report presents the results of this more detailed examination and planning with regard to architectural, structural and HVAC design as well as studies on heating energy consumption and costs. The results indicate that the consumption of energy in small houses can be halved without essentially changing the annual costs. Reducing energy consumption economically to below half the present level would require an increase in the price of energy of essential limitations in availability.
