SUNH

Solar Urban New Housing

This SUNH Project focused on New housing in Europe including 10 sites involving 8 contries (FR-UK-NL-DK-NOR-FIN-ES-PO).

The aim was to realize 10 demonstration projects all generating:

an average energy saving of 50%
an average pollutant saving of 50%

By this project being in urban areas, from North to South, encouraging and developing this type of construction, this means that just within EHEN members there are over 700 000 dwellings concerned. To develop the use of friendly low embodied energy materials using the knowledge of the most advanced experts around Europe today.

Innovative Technologies (Energy and Environment):

Each project site, beside giving answer to the 5 points of this target quality project:

Optimised envolope
Adopted energy management
Optimised equipments
Renewable energy integration
Upgrading houseing standards - Control of costs: in housing sector, it's an obligation!

has developed at least one real innovative solution like:

cogeneration - PV systems lighting
parietodynamique insulation/ventilation
optimised and controlled air ventilation
solar energy use with: air systems - water systems - photovoltaic
water reduction using new toilet system

Expected Results (Energy and Enviroment):

Reduction of energy use of 8120kWn - 700 TOE/year
Average energy consumption expected for all projects: 101 kWh/m²/year
CO2: 1 572 t/year
CO: 1 588 kg/year
NOx: 1 417 kg/year
SO2: 1 961 kg/year
