Energy Efficent Robust Design

In the design and construction process of our houses, energy efficiency has played a central role, where a lot of the focus has been on abiding to the so called Passive House standards. The term Passive House stands for a collection of construction techniques for creating energy efficient housing. Houses built according to the Passive House standard are designed according to the idea that all possible heat losses should be minimized. This creates an airtight and well-insulated "climate shell", with efficient ventilation and free from thermal bridges that can occur through doors and windows. Passive houses are heated by natural sources, such as the sun and air, through waste heat from those who live in the house along with residual energy from electronics.

When constructing a traditional wooden house according to the Passive House standard, extra thick insulation is required to keep the climate shell tight, as well as windows and doors with low U-values. The U-value in a house is a measure of the thermal insulating properties of different materials. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation capacity as the U-value measures how much energy is lost.

Our innovative insulation and construction technology make it possible for us to achieve a Passive House standard, in an even more efficient and environmentally friendly way.

Instead of wood, our climate shell is produced from cold-pressed steel that has been recycled from scrapped cars. Thanks to this technology, the same tightness and well insulated quality is created as in a traditional wooden house, but with less environmental impact and without the need for extra thick insulation. The walls in our houses can therefore be much thinner and contribute with 20% larger living space and higher ceiling height compared to other house manufacturers.

The materials in the walls together with doors and windows in our houses contribute to a low U-value that meet the Swedish requirements and building regulations for very cold climate zones.

With the right insulation, materials, building and design construction, a lower amount of heat and energy is required, which leads to lower costs for your house and also a smaller carbon footprint.
