Description
As more of us want to live more sustainably, we take a glimpse into the near-future, where homes generate more energy than they consume over their lifetimes.
In this episode we visit the Norwegian city of Trondheim and meet Ivar Ørnes, Kim Bundgård and Ingrid Skirstad from Skanska, members of the crew behind the ongoing Powerhouse Lade – a series of almost-ready apartments that among other things will produce more renewable energy than they consume during their entire life span.
And Dr Stephen Richardson, a leading expert in energy and carbon reduction at the World Green Building Council, shares his thoughts on the future of housing, and the importance of helping homebuyers make good choices.
