Abstract
Can extra insulation and airtight structures significantly reduce energy demands? The questions are considered here by scientists at the Division of Building Technology at Stockholm's Royal Institute of Technology, after studying the performance of single-family houses built to the new national code. One site-built design achieved an estimated one-third reduction in energy consumption; but another, less airtight factory-made house showed serious shortcomings in the indoor climate achieved.
