Insulation and low energy consumption were obtained by using ROCKWOOL® stone wool based insulation in the walls, roof and floor.

Passive measures such as insulation, energy efficient windows, heat recovery ventilation, and maximum use of sunlight for heating and lightning ensure the low energy consumption of the house.

Return of investment is expected within just 9 years due to very low running costs.
