Abstract

Considering the small addition in the housing supply of newly built dwellings, meeting sustainable goals in the Netherlands will have to come from the existing housing supply. TU Delft’s Solar Decathlon 2014 design focuses on achieving a zero energy renovation that is both sustainable as well as attractive for inhabitants of the most frequent housing typology in the Netherlands, a row house. A strong emphasis in the design has been the expansion from the focus on energy efficiency and pay-back periods, towards the many potential added values in comfort, space, aesthetics and end-user involvement. After the competition the design as market product has been tested and further research has been performed. Even though this has not resulted in a viable market proposition yet, many benefits of a broader value proposition have become evident both in the form of market value and end-user value.
