The Quota House is part of a 1:1 research project focusing on reducing CO2 emissions in use and construction of a house.
The Quota House (150m2) focuses on occupant behavior and patterns of consumption, while inhabiting the house.
There are three different levels on which Quota house supports the inhabitants. First of all through its architectural design – on one hand reviving old virtues, on the other introducing new thinking.
In the middle of the house is the ‘Climate Belt’, a zone through which the occupants pass frequently during the course of the day. The ‘Climate Belt’ adds five new functions: a roofed courtyard to dry laundry, an insulated larder next to the kitchen, an integrated greenhouse with a vegetable garden, a multimedia room and graphic energy consumption information display.
The second level of guidance is about integrating smart technology. A central system controls all electric sockets and outlets and provides instant feedback on tablets and smartphones, the shower has a visible consumption guide, and the thermostats display the actual temperature in the room.
The third level and final level introduces a form of budget for electricity, heating and water consumption – a quota, the ambition level is by choice of the inhabitants. The figures from daily consumption are accessed through instant graphic feedback on mobile devices, tablets and smartphones, so that the inhabitants can respond immediately.
The CO2 emission from electricity and heating consumption in the Quota House is calculated between 15 and 10 kg CO2/m2/year for a period of 50 years. The reference house is likewise calculated between 24 and 13 kg CO2/m2/year for a period of 50 years.
• The design of the Quota House makes it easier to conserve energy
• The Quota House has built-in technology which helps occupants – and keeps them updated on the amount of energy they have used.
• The Quota House sets a monthly limit of carbon emissions.
