In Nyborg, on the island of Funen, Realdania Byg has recently built six individually different single-family houses. The impetus has been to demonstrate five extreme ways to reduce the CO2 footprint in five different houses, as a basis for developing the sixth house; a single-family Mini-CO2 standard house, combining all the lessons learned. This strategy solves a three-pronged challenge in one house; it reduces the carbon footprint by 45 percent, compared to a traditional standard house, it offers a number of added architectural, technological and life-improving qualities to the house – and it is available to customers at a price that matches traditional standard houses already on the market.
