The largest energy-efficient village in Europe has been built in Denmark.
The experiment began in 2005. The municipality of Egidau was allocated land plot to begin construction of new energy-efficient housing. It was allowed to build housing only using environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving technologies. The management of the town very meticulously monitors the fulfillment of construction conditions. About 400 buildings have already been put into operation, and each of them uses 35% less energy than required by Danish building codes.
Stenlesse is the name of the new village, which translated means Beskamenka. At the same time, stone wool insulation is a popular building material. In the village, all houses are built using the same technology: a row of bricks is laid, then a thick layer of insulation. The architecture of the building can be any. For example, a family that occupies not the last place in the village municipality built cottage which has a large glazed bay window. It is important that all developers must comply with energy-saving systems; the methods of their application are the same for all developers. 
Installation of double-glazed windows should be three-chamber with a special coating that retains heat loss, ventilation system must be equipped with recuperators. The operation of such a system is quite simple. but effective. Recuperation allows cold street air to be heated by exhaust air, while heat loss is reduced to a minimum.

Rainwater collection is mandatory during construction. From the roof it is collected into special containers. When there is a lot of rain, excess water is drained through a special pipeline to the site, the drainage is done very slowly to avoid soil subsidence.

Filters trap small debris and are cleaned once a month. This water is used for domestic needs of the toilet and washing machine. Water for household needs is free, which residents are very happy about.
Rainwater is very soft, so there is no limescale in the washing machine, and the use of special water softening additives is not required.
In order to find a company to build such an energy-saving house, you need to spend a lot of time. Denmark, although an advanced country in the field of construction, has a problem.
The second family moved from Germany because the husband got a job in a pharmaceutical company in Denmark. They searched for two years for a company that would build a house in an energy-saving village. 
The house turned out great. The house is located in such a way that almost all windows face south, not a single ray of sunlight is lost. The insulation is excellent, the thickness of the stone wool is 50 centimeters. There are simply no heating radiators, so there is no need to use them. There are completely no drafts in the house. A lit candle brought to the window frame does not move. The houses built in the village are like a thermos; they are completely sealed. The main source of heat in houses is the person himself. The human body emits 100 kW of thermal energy per day. Some owners joke that they can heat their home with one candle and a bottle of wine.
Such a house is heated in winter by the inhabitants and solar energy, as well as the energy released by operating electrical appliances.
The excess heat heats the water used in the shower, and if the outside temperature drops below 20 degrees, then the heated floors are turned on.
400 energy-saving buildings have already been built in Beskamenka; the crisis that has arisen in Denmark does not prevent construction from continuing in the village. The construction is being carried out in a Scandinavian manner, there are no fences, and there are also no curtains on the windows.
Currently, Denmark is implementing a government plan to further improve the energy efficiency of buildings - by 2015 it is planned to reduce energy consumption by 50%.
So, let's turn to the technologies used in building a house. The Danes do not have a single “recipe” for constructing buildings, so all houses are different - brick, wood, concrete. Construction technologies are also different, but most often they use frame and panel-frame methods for constructing houses. These technologies, invented, by the way, in the Scandinavian countries, are quite simple and help to build a house in the shortest possible time. In addition, using the example of these technologies, it is convenient to show how to properly insulate a house.
So, when frame technology a vapor barrier film is laid on the warm side of the insulation, then the insulation itself - stone wool slabs, windproof membrane. Then the interior is finished on the side of the room, and the façade is covered on the outside. In addition to the walls, the roof and floor are insulated with slabs, because these structures are responsible for 40% of the energy consumed by the building.
The Danes are very attentive to thermal insulation work, especially to the thermal insulation of “cold bridges” - areas of the building where, due to certain reasons, increased heat transfer occurs (for example, window and door lintels, basement plinths, etc.). They carefully treat all the joints between the panels with sealant or cut out strips of insulation and lay them in these places.
Double-glazed windows on the windows also help prevent cold from penetrating into the house. A special inert gas is pumped into the inter-glass space of double-glazed windows, which contributes to better thermal protection of such windows. To prevent heat from escaping through the glass, a very thin protective layer can be applied to its surface, which allows it to pass into the building solar heat, heating the room, and does not release it outside. By the way, the Danes buy double-glazed windows with aluminum or wooden frames. Such double-glazed windows are more environmentally friendly than the PVC profiles common in Russia.
The Danes are actively looking for and using alternative energy sources, especially after the oil crisis of 1973, when there was a forced massive transition to coal. Danish authorities, concerned about the negative impact of fossil fuel combustion products on the environment, urged citizens to use wind energy whenever possible. And now wind turbines generate more than 20% of this country's electricity. Many owners country houses unite and invest money in a cooperative that installs a wind generator that generates the necessary energy for lighting and heating several houses. Also as alternative source solar energy is used. For this purpose, they are installed on the roof solar collectors, which are used to obtain hot water for bathrooms and technical needs.
Particular attention is paid to compaction in a Danish house front door, since it is precisely this that can become an additional “gate” for the cold. As a rule, there is a vestibule between the street door and the entrance directly to the living space. The Danes believe that the design with a vestibule is most effective in combating heat loss through the door.
The Danish house also has a ventilation system with recovery, which also helps to retain heat in the room, while providing the home with fresh air from the street. Main principle The operation of this system is that a recuperator is installed in the house - a heat exchanger in which fresh street air entering through the ventilation system is heated with heat room air removed from the premises. Thus, heat is not wasted, and the room is ventilated.
And in a Danish house there are sensors that help the owner control the microclimate in the room. Most ordinary residential buildings in Denmark are not equipped with automatic climate control, as in " smart homes"The owner himself checks the sensors and, depending on the indicators, can adjust the microclimate manually. In both the first and second cases, the effect is the same.
So, the main advantage of a Danish house is its comfort for living and energy efficiency. The Danes prefer to invest in high-quality construction using new technologies, because they know that it will pay off in a few years. Energy costs in such a house are 5 times less. The Danes are careful about their choice building materials for your home - they are all safe for health. Thus, the Danish house combines simplicity design solution with energy efficiency, which creates a comfortable living space.

Ground floor plan 
Second floor plan Do you want to build a high-quality Western house for Russian rubles? Do you dream that it will be beautiful, warm and not require major repairs for a long time? And at the same time, you don’t want to turn construction into an endless process? Then show interest in how Danish products are accessible to middle class Russians. panel frame houses are being built in the Moscow region.
Golden mean
Assembling a house begins with a laying board. What does a Danish house look like, in which a typical representative of the middle class lives? Not like Elsinore Castle, but not like “a shelter for a wretched Chukhon.” Usually this is a high-quality low-rise building, built according to standard project from relatively inexpensive materials. The Danish practice of constructing low-rise buildings gives Russians a real chance to acquire own home. The majority of homeowners in both countries want to have the highest quality home at the minimum cost of its creation. That is why Danish projects, implemented for the first time in our country in the Moscow region, arouse keen interest among our compatriots.
Relatively inexpensive standard houses are built using proven technologies. Individual design increases the cost of the building at least twice. Danish companies offer the customer a choice of several house options different sizes. Moreover, each project can be finalized. For example, the same building is offered both with and without a terrace. However, the Danes are ready to construct buildings according to individual projects. Within two months from the date of approval of the project, all components of the future home, including consumables, are assembled and prepared for shipment at the plant. During this time, the foundation is cast at the construction site, water, electricity, and gas are supplied to the facility.
The panel is fixed on the backing board with glue-sealant. A peculiarity of the construction of new buildings in Russia is that the panel-frame box is lined on the outside with facing brick, which is purchased, at the customer’s choice, from us or abroad. A close analogue of such houses are frame-panel houses. However, Danish buildings are fundamentally different from them in that all parts of their frame, together with the cladding, are produced in the form of panels in a factory, and not on a construction site. For the construction of walls and partitions, panels made using the Danish Polar Isolierung technology are used. It allows you to create energy-saving panels without seams and joints up to 13.8 m long (the length of the transportation truck), from which the walls are assembled. The surfaces of the panels are made of durable Fermacell gypsum fiber sheets from the German company FELS, which can withstand a load of 50 kg/cm 2 . The voids are filled with basalt fiber insulation ROCKWOOL (Denmark). On the room side, the thermal insulation of the panels is protected by a Tyvek Hd Soft vapor barrier film produced by the international concern DUPONT; on the outside, they are covered with a windproof board from NORBIT (Norway), which simultaneously protects from moisture.
Brick cladding is needed to increase the energy efficiency of the frame and give the house a complete architectural form. The combined structure of the walls makes it possible to lighten and at the same time strengthen the structure of the house, increase the resistance of walls and windows to heat transfer, reduce the cost of construction, and speed up the process. Such houses can withstand both northern cold and southern heat equally well, and are wind and seismic resistant. Suffice it to say that the heat loss of the building has been reduced to the highest possible level today. And one more thing: the sound insulation of the walls and ceilings of the house reaches 45 dB. This means that the premises will be quiet, even if construction equipment is working outside.
Of course, Danish houses cannot be classified as cheap. The cost of a typical building with an area of 150 m2 is 110 thousand (without interior decoration). But by Moscow standards, calling such a house expensive would also be wrong.
Assembly line principle
The pneumatic tool is driven by a compressor. The reason for the confident advancement of Danish technology in the CIS countries and Russia is the unification of the construction process, where there is no place for manufacturing structures directly on the construction site. Everything you need for construction one-story house with an attic with a total area of 200 m2 is delivered to the site from the factory in three large Euro trucks. With the help of a crane, both the unloading of vehicles and the installation of wall structures are carried out simultaneously. If you have a foundation, materials and a trained crew of six people (plus a crane operator), assembling the building frame takes 2 days. Workers need another 4 days to install floor trusses and carry out roofing work. The construction cycle, including facing the walls with bricks and installing communications, is 4.5 weeks. There is no time limit for finishing a house, since this process entirely depends on the taste of the customer and the size of his wallet. But under any circumstances, the building will be delivered turnkey no later than 3 months from the start of assembly work.
The assembly of the house and its exterior decoration is carried out by domestic personnel who have undergone special training either in Denmark or in master classes that the Danes conduct in Russia. The brigade is armed with all necessary consumables and tools, including overalls. The use of tools and materials not provided for by the manufacturer's technology is not permitted. All construction operations are carried out according to the company's manual, intended for official use only. Each operation is time-regulated, like in a reputable car dealership. To save time, lunch for workers is brought to the construction site in thermoses.
The beginning of time
A theater begins with a hanger, and a house begins with a foundation. Laying the foundation is preceded by geodetic work, which consists of drilling pits in various parts of the territory to identify the structure of the soil, as well as the presence or absence of surface groundwater. For these purposes, a mobile drilling rig based on a UAZ vehicle is used. Next, the future home is linked to the area. This is done using a theodolite by a surveyor and his assistant. The data obtained is entered into the cadastral plan of the site drawn up by the local Land Committee.
The surveyor makes markings, along the lines of which foundation holes are dug manually or with an excavator. How accurately and correctly the foundation is cast determines whether the combination of wall panels will fall into place and whether the building will be strong. The Danes do not have any special documentation for the construction of the foundation. The solution to this issue is entrusted to a subcontracting Russian company that specializes in carrying out zero cycles.
The requirements of the house assemblers are strict compliance of the strength characteristics of the foundation with the design loads (a building structure weighing 80 tons will rest on it), an exact match of the foundation strip with the design dimensions of the walls along the axes, and high-quality execution of the level screed for installation of wall panels. In our case, the width of the foundation on which the panels and brickwork rest is 50 cm; The screed is made of foam concrete blocks and brought to zero using a solution. In prefabricated buildings, the load on the foundations is approximately the same, so the principles of their construction are slightly different from each other. More information about the construction of foundations wooden houses can be read in the articles “When the hut is red in the corners” and “A house in which the walls help.”
Glossary of Special Terms
Mauerlat - rafter beam.
Gable - architectural completion of the building facade, limited by the roof slopes.
Dormer - a vertical window in the attic part of the building.
Lucarna - a structure that forms an opening for installing a vertical window on the roof.
First steps
Small parts are unloaded from a truck directly into the house. Before the construction of a one-story house with an attic, terrace and balcony begins, workers install a layer on top of the foundation screed waterproofing material, place base boards protected from fire, moisture and rotting on it and fix them with expanding anchor bolts(M20, length 200 mm). Holes for anchors are drilled in the foundation in place through the boards. All wooden parts of the house structure are made of pine, processed using technology from the Swedish company ELOF HANSSON.
Work begins with the installation of the front wall panel. It represents the entire façade, with already inserted window block, which does not require additional finishing. For ease of installation, there are loops at the top of the panel made of durable synthetic cable, to which the hooks of the crane arms cling (the loops are subsequently cut with a knife). The other three walls of the house look the same. They already have windows, entrance and balcony doors manufactured by the German company VEKA. Windows and doors are made of PVC profiles and equipped with sealed double-glazed windows, filled with argon.
The wall is transported to the installation site by a crane directly from the truck. A layer of FERMACELL adhesive-sealant (Germany) is applied to the base board along its entire length using a pneumatic gun, which fixes the product placed on it in a matter of minutes. The wall panel is placed on the base and secured in a strictly vertical position with temporary braces made of boards. The panel is also additionally connected to the base with metal plates. Nails are driven into the wall with a pneumatic hammer. In addition, it already has holes for bolts (M20, length 250 mm), with which it will be fastened to the adjacent wall. The entire operation takes 15-20 minutes. Nails, anchors, bolts, and self-tapping screws are supplied to builders by the German company WURTH. The next wall is placed in relation to the first at an angle of 90. A layer of adhesive-sealant is also applied along the line where it adjoins the first wall. The connection is made with bolts using a pneumatic wrench (embedded threaded bushings are made in the wall for them).
Next comes the installation interior partitions. They are similar panels, only with less insulation inside. They are also connected to each other using glue and bolts. The partitions are placed by a crane in an order that ensures the rigidity of the structure. At this stage, the work is carried out by two assemblers and two riggers using only an air gun with a tube of glue and a wrench. Simultaneously with the installation of the walls, small structural elements (packages with roof windows, consumables, etc.) are loaded into the frame of the house by crane. Outside, attic façade panels, rafter parts packaged in blocks, and floor beams are installed in strict order. There is an explanation for the haste in unloading: carriers are paid hourly. Workers are confident that the next truck will arrive at the construction site strictly on schedule, so they strive to adhere to the assembly schedule and not disrupt the rhythm of work. On the first day, they manage to build the walls and partitions of the first floor. A security guard remains at the construction site; however, the entire instrument is taken with you.
Full speed ahead!
After the trusses are installed, the gable panels are put in place. Like the walls, they are solid structures with existing windows. Under each gable, a layer of adhesive-sealant is applied to the joint of the wall panel. The gable panel is placed in place by crane and bolted to the outer trusses. According to the project, in the attic part of the house there are two symmetrical dormer windows produced by VEKA, located in large hatches on the roof slopes. The panels of the front walls of the hatches with windows already installed in them are placed on prepared places among the rafters and firmly fastened to them metal corners. Later, part of the rafters from the inside of the lucarne will be carefully cut out to create free space near the window. In order to ensure the rigidity of the connection, the cut parts of the trusses are fastened with a crossbar made of laminated veneer lumber.
Simultaneously with the installation of trusses, gables and hatches, two workers are building a balcony. Its design provides for variable loads on the support pillars, as a result of which they are made with adjustment units at the base. When the balcony shrinks, which will occur during the operation of the building, the pillars can be raised by tightening the adjusting nut. The technological opening under the door and window block of the balcony is insulated with slabs of extruded polyethylene foam.
Meanwhile, the unloaded truck is replaced by a third (last) one, which brought insulation and engineering equipment. The insulation in plastic packaging is stored outside, while the equipment (boiler from the German company VAILLANT, fireplace, boiler, plumbing and water pipes, wires, electrical installation items, etc.) is placed inside the house. The working day ends with putting things in order at the construction site, loading tools into the car and transferring the site under security.
You can see everything from above
At first, when not all the ceiling beams have been positioned and secured, you need to walk on them with caution. Immediately after their installation, a temporary boardwalk is laid on top, on which you can move completely calmly. After assembling the trusses, workers cover them with a vapor-waterproofing membrane DELTA-VENT (Germany), secured to the rafters with staplers. At first it serves to protect the house from precipitation, and then it becomes part of the “roofing pie”. Lathing and counter-lattice are made along the membrane, after which natural tiles are laid Russian production"BRAAS-DSK 1". The “pie” also includes thermal insulation made from rigid ROCKWOOL mineral wool boards and vapor barrier.
Parallel preparations are underway for insulation of interfloor ceilings. Bars are nailed across the floor beams from below, on which the mineral wool insulation mats will rest. A little later they will be covered from below with FERMACELL gypsum fiber boards. In the meantime, the openings between the beams remain open. Along with dormer windows, the attic is equipped with inclined windows model GL308 manufactured by VELUX (Denmark). Workers are preparing the openings for their installation. The second day of construction ends with the removal of debris from work sites, loading of tools into a special vehicle and transfer of the site to security.
Facade - the face of the house
Over the next three days, installers and an electrician work on the roof and facade of the house. The roof is an important part of the building structure. The developer engages for this work a highly professional team of Russian craftsmen from the RSM-STROY company, who completed an internship in Germany. The roofing is carried out using the patented technology of the German company BRAAS (you can read about laying natural tiles in the article “The roof of your house”). These same specialists hem the cornices vinyl siding and install a drainage system produced by the Danish company PLASTMO.
Before facing a house with bricks Wall panels insulated with mineral wool slabs. The multilayer construction of the insulated walls provides them with high resistance to heat transfer. Simultaneously with the roofing work, the façade is faced with efficient high-quality bricks. The essence of the technology comes down to the following. On the street side, an additional layer of insulation - ROCKWOOL mineral wool slabs 20 mm thick - is attached (with staplers) on top of the panel walls. Along its surface, in polyvinyl chloride corrugated sleeves, there is a distribution of electrical wires to sockets and lamps. Entries through the wall into installation and distribution boxes are made through sealing couplings. Between the insulation and brick cladding a two-centimeter ventilated space necessary for the removal of water vapor is maintained. The first row of bricks is isolated from the foundation with a layer of hydroglass insulation. Masons work standing on light scaffolding; bricks and imported mortar are handed to them by hand. Color and options exterior finishing houses are determined by the client. The building may be clad entirely in brick or have wood-trimmed gables and wood inserts over the windows. In our case, masons combine red and dark brown bricks in a certain order. The majestic palette of the roof and walls, against which the white frames of windows and doors look impressive, distinguishes the Danish house from neighboring buildings. He is recognized immediately - by characteristic features architecture and decoration.

Consumption ecology. Estate: The experimental village was named Stenlesse, translated into Russian as “Beskamenka”, and it is the largest energy-efficient settlement in Europe.
Henna Beer, an employee of the municipality of the Danish town of Egidau, was awarded the highest audiencefor the fact that, like the queen, she worked in one place for 40 years. In particular, Her Majesty thanked Henne for her participation in creating Europe's largest energy-efficient settlement.
This experiment began in 2005. The municipality allocated land for the creation of a fundamentally new settlement. It is possible to build houses here only from environmentally friendly materials, using energy-saving technologies. The municipality strictly monitors compliance with these conditions. To date, 400 houses have already been built, and each consumes at least 35% less energy than required by the Danish building code.
The experimental village was named Stenlesse, translated into Russian it means “Beskamenka”. Although the most popular material here is stone wool insulation. Houses are built using approximately the same technology: a row of bricks and a thick layer of insulation.
In architecture, everyone is free to choose according to their taste.. For example, for herself and her husband, Henna Beer chose a one-story house with a bay window and large glazing. Regarding energy saving systems, that is, techniques common to all buildings.
For example, double-glazed windows are usually installed with insulated, three-chamber, with a special coating that reduces heat transfer.
Ventilation systems are equipped with so-called recuperators.
The system the recuperators operate on is simple but effective.: cold air coming from the street is heated by waste heat leaving the room. So heat loss is kept to a minimum.
|
Another mandatory design is a rainwater collection system.. The water drains from the roof, is filtered and sent to a special tank. If there is too much rain, the excess water goes into the ground through special plastic pipes. The system is designed so that drainage occurs gradually, slowly, so that the soil does not settle.
Filters trap all small debris. They need to be cleaned about once a month.
The settlers use rainwater only for flushing the toilet and for work. washing machines
. Gudrinn Zann, a mother of three, does a lot of laundry four times a week and loves the free water.
Another advantage of rainwater is that it does not produce limescale in the typewriter, so you can easily do without special additives for water softening. Total savings!
Gudrunn lived with her husband Stefan in Germany, but a few years ago he got a job at a Danish pharmaceutical company. The couple decided to live in energy-saving Stenless. They had to search for two years for a company that would build their dream home. Even in advanced Denmark this is a problem. But as a result, the Zannas received the most economical house in the village.
All the windows in this house face south, so not a single ray of sunlight is lost. In addition, the house is well insulated - for brickwork a layer of stone wool 50 cm thick. As a result, there are no radiators in the walls - they are simply not needed there.
In addition, heat does not escape from the house, because there are no drafts in it. You can conduct a small experiment: light a candle and bring it to the frame. There is no air movement, so the candle flame does not flutter.
The Gudrunn house is built on the principle of a thermos - it is absolutely airtight. And the main source of heat is the inhabitants of the house themselves. The human body emits 100 kW of thermal energy per day. However, when you look at the jumps of Gudrunn’s youngest daughter, Leani, it seems like everything is 200.
The owners joke that their house can be warmed with one candle and a bottle of wine., so they often invite guests.
For such a house, even in winter, the warmth of the household is quite enough, combined with solar energy entering the house and energy released by electrical appliances.
The excess of this heat heats the water that the owners use for showers.. On the coldest days, when it’s minus 20 outside, they go to work on warm floors.
There are already 400 energy-efficient houses in the Danish “Beskamenka”. And although the crisis has stopped construction in Denmark, houses continue to be built here: laconic, Scandinavian-style, without fences and without curtains on the windows. published
