Villa Krebs

A newly bought dilap­i­dated, energy-guzzling detached house from the 60s, which was eaten away by mold due to previ­ous water damage, was the start of an exten­sive reno­va­tion. The tradi­tional brick construc­tion was completely reno­vated into an extremely modern passive house. The reno­va­tion has changed the house archi­tec­turally, spatially and energy-wise.

Energy reno­vat­ing an older home can be exten­sive, but some­thing that pays off:
— The heat­ing bill went from DKK 25,000 per year. to around DKK 2,500 per year.
— The home has a signif­i­cantly health­ier indoor climate.
— The daylight level is many times higher than in a stan­dard house, as large window areas have been established.
— CO2 emis­sion for oper­a­tion and mate­r­ial in the passive house is 53% less than a Danish calcu­lated aver­age for a stan­dard house of the same size.
— The house has been given a completely new and modern look.
