care homes, risskov
Developer:	Aarhus Kommune
Architect:	Arkitektgruppen Regnbuen
Contractor:	Scandibyg
Area:	8.500 m²
Budget:	75 mio. DKK
Year:	2011

The homes will be built according to the low-energy class. To meet the requirements of energy class the focus was on developing a compact and well-insulated building envelope with optimal placement of windows in relation to the compass. Furthermore, there has been considerable focus on health and wellbeing for the future users of the care homes. Therefore there are a number of simulations of the indoor environment, including focusing on optimizing daylight conditions. An increased utilization of daylight also means that the energy consumption for lighting is reduced significantly. Aarhus Kommune wants to test the potential of prefabricated buildings and creating a modern care home environment with welfare technology. Esbensen has developed the energy concept and undertake the design of building installations.

Day care center æblehaven, Frederiksberg
Developer:	Frederiksberg kommune
Architect:	Tegnestuen Vandkunsten
Contractor:	JDL/X-Con A/S og HUJ A/S
Area:	1000 m²
Budget:	18 mio. DKK.
Year:	2009

Construction of a low-energy class 1 (BR08) day care center with an energy consumption of max. 51 kWh/m2. The primary goals for the building are high-quality day lighting and indoor climate as well as an energy-optimized design with efficient utilization of the passive solar heat. Hybrid ventilation, high insulated building envelope and low-energy windows is also applied. The project is a solid, flexible and intelligent building making architecture and energy consumption a natural part of the local community. The project will accommodate both nursery and kindergarten. Esbensen provides energy consultancy and design of installations.

Day Care Center Bernts Have, holbæk
Developer:	Holbæk Kommune
Architect:	Henning Larsen Architects
Area:	1.350 m²
Budget:	28 million. DKK.
Year:	2009

The day care centre of Bernts Have is an integrated institution accommodating 56 children in the nursery and 80 children in the kindergarten. The building contains a nursery- and a kindergarten wing connected by a multi-purpose room. The institution has a special glass-covered climate zone where greenhouses are established for the cultivation of flowers and other plants. The greenhouses also functions as solar shading and contribute to the heating of living rooms. Esbensen provided energy consultancy and administrated design of installations.

Handicap Center, Helsingør
Developer:	Helsingør kommune
Architect:	KHS Arkitekter
Area:	2.800 m²
Budget:	41 mill. DKK
Year:	2009

Construction of 24 handicap-friendly residences with common areas and activity- and social programs. The center contains base- and administration facilities for the Social Educational Development Centre and meets the low energy class 1standards. Establishment of a well-insulated building envelope, design of a compact building with good daylight conditions, heat supply by low-temperature district heating and installation of low-energy windows are highly emphasized features. The low-energy class 1 standard is achieved without installation of solar panels using the integrated design of energy process. Esbensen assisted with integrated energy design and design of plumbing- and ventilation systems.

children's univers, Kværs
Developer:	Sønderborg Kommune
Architect:	ZENI arkitekter A/S
Others:	Sloth Møller A/S
Area:	420 m²
Budget:	35 mio. DKK.
Year:	2008

Construction of integrated institution with nursery, kindergarten and after-school care as a low-energy class 1 building. The institution is equipped with 40m² solar panels on the roof and geothermal heating. The building is designed with insulation proportions equivalent to passive house standard to minimize energy consumption, despite the classification as a low-energy class 1 building. The building is ventilated by a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery. The solar panels will produce approximately 33 % of the building's electricity consumption. The cost of materials will be quantified and payed back within the building’s lifetime because of the reduced energy consumption. The building will be heated up by a geothermal heating pump, a sustainable and viable alternative partiqularly for heating. The building is equipped with low-energy windows and provides a high daylight level.

Sofiehaven Day care center, Holbæk
Developer:	Holbæk Kommune
Architect:	Arkitektgruppen Holbæk
Additional:	Anders Jensen A/S
Area:	1050 m²
Year:	2008

Construction of an integrated day care centre in Holbæk accommodating approx. 100 children. Sustainability, indoor climate and utilisation of sustainable and CO₂-neutral materials are highly emphasized features. The building is naturally ventilated and constructed with a heavy, south facing wall for accumulation of passive solar heating. Esbensen provided energy consultancy.
