Research and practice: Building design with a vision - experimental houses in Nyborg

In a suburban residential neighbourhood in Nyborg, Denmark, the real estate company Realdania Byg − a subsidiary of the Danish Realdania Foundation − has built six prototypical houses that are intended to pave the way to a future in which energy-efficient building will become standard and other essential aspects of sustainable construction will also finally be addressed. Among other things, this includes the use of recycled materials, durable and maintenance-friendly construction techniques, as well as the consideration of user behaviour.
