Buildings as renewable power plants: active houses for the electric city

.
Urban energy transition: renewable strategies for cities and regions, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2 edition, (2018)

Abstract

In the face of increasingly acute energy and material resource challenges, the building sector represents both the single greatest consumer of resources, as well as the single most powerful lever with which to influence our environmental impact. As new buildings become more efficient, one of the most critical challenges lies in addressing the existing building stock. To make serious progress we must move beyond the mindset of reduction and instead conceive projects that not only meet their own energy needs, but also provide for their neighbors. This is the mission of Aktivhaus.
