Passive Terraced Houses - Lindås I
The first passive houses in Sweden were built 2001 in Lindås, south of Gothenburg. The photo shows the facade towards south with small gardens. The solar collectors on the roof provide domestic hot water.
Architect: Efem arkitektkontor, Gothenburg.
For a Passive House in a cold climate no radiators or under-floor heating are necessary. The building is superinsulated and airtight and has therefore only minor transmission and ventilation losses. It is primarily heated by radiated solar energy, heat produced by humans, household machinery, domestic electronic equipment and light fittings.
