A Low-Energy Building Project in Sweden – the Lindås Pilot Project

One of today’s great challenges is to find opportunities to create and sustain a modern, comfortable existence while facing the growing threat of global warming and the future depletion of resources. A continuation of material and energy deployment and growth in waste products is not sustainable environmentally or ecologically. More than 50% of the world’s population now lives in urban areas, and this figure is increasing. Thus, adaptation and development of urban as well as rural areas for tomorrow needs to be tailored to reduce environmental impact and use of finite energy resources, improve associated economic prosperity and create social stability. As a result, there is a need to develop a well-defined energy plan with clear energy and climate transition to sustainable societies.
