Greenhouse Entrance

The entrance to the ETC Cottage (Swedish: ETC Torp) - you can pick a tomato when you pass. A house with a roof made of solar cells and a greenhouse towards south. The frame and the walls are made of wood - a climate-positive building that stores carbon dioxide. The foundation consists of foam glass, no concrete is used. It is so energy efficient that it can provide energy to at least one more house. The building is a show house and you can buy a house like that from the building company ETC Bygg.

Built: 2022.

One of the buildings in the ETC Solar Park in Katrineholm.

The red house is typical for Sweden. The traditional red paint contains pigment from the copper-mine in Falun, Dalecarlia.
