People spend up to 90% of their time indoors in urban areas.

Promoting actions for healthy indoor air (IAIAQ), 2011

Considering how indoor air quality, daylight and the thermal environment affect productivity, health and well-being, it is essential to design buildings that facilitates comfort as well as sustainability.

Buildings that follow Active House principals will do exactly that; create a healthier and more comfortable home for their occupants with a minimal climate impact.

An Active House is a building that offers a healthier and comfortable indoor climate for the occupants without negative impact on the climate – measured in terms of energy, fresh water consumption and the use of sustainable materials. This is a holistic approach to building design that has been adopted in the construction industry and amongst planners and designers. The principles have been tested, and current specifications are based on real data, not just estimates.

Setting the user at the centre means to quantify the parameters which matter most to users, with a minimal footprint on the planet.
