Abstract
The aim of the Finnish experimental house for IEA's Task 13 'advanced solar low-energy houses' has been to reduce the consumption of purchased energy to as low a level as possible, using technology that is either already commercially available or at the prototype stage of development. The means employed were the use of free energies with the aid of solar collectors, photovoltaics and a heat pump. The heat losses of the house were minimized by means of a well-insulated, airtight envelope structure, high performance windows and ventilation heat recovery. A good indoor climate and comfortable living conditions were set as requirements for the design. The experimental house, the IEA5 solar house, was built for the Piertarsaari housing fair '94. Pietarsaari is located on the west coast of Finland at a latitude of 62.
