The Majrovagen project. Experimental building design for low energy use and good indoor climate.

The Majrovagen project is the result of a design competition, held by the City of Stockholm and the Swedish Council for Building Research in 1990. The competition is a part of the efforts made by the City to promote efficient energy use and healthy buildings. Efficient energy use will help reduce disruption to the environment, the need for new, expensive energy plants, and, not least, the energy costs of the inhabitants of Stockholm. Three different projects with mu It if amity houses of about 60 apartments each were chosen by a Jury to be built in the same area during 1993. The paper presents the awarded building projects and discusses the expected performance from computer simulations.
