In the nordic countries, buildings account for 1/3 of the total energy use, and the heating and lighting of spaces are the main consumptions of energy My project is proposing an ”energy active” housing typology for the Faroe Islands, merging production, -storage and -consumption of energy with habitation and activities in the city. Especially focusing on piezoelectric flooring and facade.
