vähäenergisiä
Vähäenergisiä (Finnish for "low-energy") refers to a category of housing and building designs that prioritize energy efficiency to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact. The concept is rooted in sustainable architecture and aims to reduce reliance on external energy sources, particularly fossil fuels, by optimizing insulation, ventilation, and passive solar design.
In Finland, where climate conditions range from cold winters to mild summers, low-energy buildings are particularly
The Finnish Building Code introduced the term "low-energy building" (*pienenergiatalo*) in the 1990s, setting standards for
Vähäenergisiä buildings often incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or heat pumps, to further
The design principles of low-energy buildings can be applied to both new constructions and renovations, making
