SEOPP - energy upgrade of houses
Next →Ratio has carried out several pilot projects for the upgrading of detached houses as part of the research project SEOPP - systematic energy upgrading of detached houses under the auspices of Sintef. The research project dealt with improved energy efficiency in standard houses from 1960–1990. The solutions achived approximately today's energy requirements for new buildings with increased comfort and new living qualities.
SEOPP - Hjellestad, Bergen
The house is a typical prefabricated house from 1975 upgraded to Enova level 2 corresponding to low energy level, somewhat better than the current requirements. A house with a cold basement was to be given new solutions in order to minimize energy requirements and increase comfort, and the client wanted to rearrange the programme for the residence for the family of five. The client wanted to increase the living space on the main floor and better utilisation of the basement.
The building has achieved a comfortable and stable indoor climate throughout the residence, and much lower energy consumption.
SEOPP - Årvoll, Oslo
The house is from 1965 and has been upgraded to Enova level 2 corresponding to low energy level, somewhat better than the current requirements. In addition to a strong focus on energy solutions, the house has been given new living qualities such as a more open plan, life cycle standard, better space utilisation, living space in the basement and more daylight.
The assignment was to utilise the potential within the framework of the building with as few additions as possible as a future residence for a family with three children. A cold and draughty house was to be given new solutions in order to minimize energy requirements and increase comfort, and the client wanted to add some new functions for the residence.
The building has achieved a comfortable and stable indoor climate throughout the residence, and much lower energy consumption.
