Passive Houses - Viskafors I
The garden side. 18 houses for rent owned by the municipal housing company Viskaforshem AB. Each house is 109 sqm. The roof is made of titanium zinc which means low maintenance (Rheinzink made in Germany). The wall panel is made of pine that has undergone a vacuum process to become extra sustainable.
Built: 2009-2010. Address: Pumpstigen, Viskafors. Architects: Ola Nylander and Mattias Karlsson.
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.
