This striking modern home located near Aarhus in Denmark packs an amazing array of green building strategies into a small footprint, allowing it to actually produce more power than it consumes. Designed and built to be super energy-efficient, smart, eco-friendly, and powered by the sun, the zero-plus Home For Life is an experiment in creating the sustainable house of the future. A family has been living in the home now for 14 months and reporting on their activities and the home's performance in order to improve the design for future iterations.
Great experiment. It would be very good if they would translate some of this family’s thoughts also in Enghlish. So we would also understand their experience.
The energy used in building is as important as that used once it is built. A zero-energy house can use 30 years’ worth of energy to build because it uses materials such as steel, concrete and plastic
