Abstract: In 2007 the Class 1 project commenced. Originally, 442 dwellings were to be designed and constructed as “low-energy class 1” houses according to requirements set by the Municipality of Egedal/Denmark. This means that the energy consumption is 50% below the existing energy regulations. Sixty five dwellings and about 30 single family houses have been constructed. The Concerto community also includes a kindergarten (completed) and an elderly centre. Currently, because of the financial crisis, only about 200 new dwellings will be constructed. Therefore, a contingency plan (plan B) has been developed replacing some of the new dwellings with renovation projects for public buildings. Simultaneously the originally planned district heating network supplied from a relatively small bio-gasification plant has been substantially enlarged to cover a large part of the existing Stenloese town as well and a large wood-chip heating plant has been added.
