Stenløse, Denmark
Stenløse - a town in Northern Zealand – is part of Egedal Municipality. Egedal has decided to strengthen the energy requirements for a new settlement to be erected. More than 400 dwellings, a kindergarten and an activity centre for elderly people will be designed and constructed with a heating energy consumption and an overall primary energy consumption better than it is required for a low energy class 1 building according to the newest Danish Building regulation.
The CONCERTO approach
In the years 2007-2011 a total of 442 dwellings will be designed and constructed with a heating demand corresponding to the new Danish low-energy standard referred to as "low-energy class 1" in a new settlement called Stenløse Syd. This means that the energy consumption will be 50% below the new energy regulations. 69 dwellings will be designed and constructed as so-called "passive house" buildings with a yearly heating demand of 15 kWh/m². Furthermore the Concerto community will include a kindergarten and an activity centre for elderly people.
Due to the financial crisis a significant slowdown of sales of the building plots caused the fact that the project could not be completed within the scheduled timeframe. In addition a much larger district heating network than initially foreseen was needed. The political process for this process started in the municipality. The calculation showed that for economical reasons the network had to be established in steps. The final plan was presented in the first half of 2011 – and a final decision to go ahead has been taken.
Use of Renewable Energy Sources
• Thermal Use of Biomass
• Solar Thermal
Low Carbon Technologies
• Combined Heat and Power - CHP
• Windows, Glazing
• Insulation
• Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
• Monitoring and Targeting (M & T)
Highlights
The main aspects of the demonstration is to show how a bio-mass fuelled CHP-plant can be integrated in a housing area with low and varying heating energy demands tightly integrated with solar heating systems and making use of the solar storage tanks as buffer storages.
The buildings will be supplied by a combination of a biomass CHP-plant, solar heating systems and heat pumps.
