"Maximizing the use of solar energy and minimizing heat loss" - Rolf Disch
The Solarsiedlung or "solar village" is Europe's most modern solar housing project. Solarsiedlung is the housing portion of a larger development which also includes an office/housing block called Sonnenschiff (solarship). The project's goals are to follow both the German Passive House and Plus Energy House directives as well as show good stewardship of the environment through material selection, appliance choice, energy consumption, transportation options, and construction method. By being part of the Plus Energy House initiative, each house can be referred to as a power station.
