Terrace housing estate in Lystrup (DK) Denmark s largest housing estate designed according to climate protection targets is located in Lystrup near Aarhus. The development incorporating 32 terrace houses features an urban design with a serial character using very traditional south-facing terrace houses. The buildings have been erected by a property developer using a timber construction method and without basements. Narrow footpaths provide access to the individual homes; roads and car parking facilities, on the other hand, have been positioned on the site boundary. The development is complemented by a community house, which forms a social and cultural meeting point within the estate. The tower-shaped elements, accommodating the two-storey-high main living rooms, create a rhythm in the terraces, which has become a very characteristic feature of the development. Passive House development in Fellbach (D) The Cit of Fellbach bought the site of a former garden centre close to the town centre to develop a Passive House housing estate. Designed to shield the interior space from the main road, the project features a comb-shaped development in the east with a staggered roof line. The short terraces on the west side are slightly offset from the development in the east. The buildings adopt the small-scale configuration of the neighbourhood. Despite the some hat lo densit , the Passive House estate could be developed in a cost-efficient way using standard solid construction methods.

Two housing estates in Innsbruck (A) The largest Passive House housing estate in Austria is distinguished by two different building typologies – a perimeter block development and detached apartment blocks. As a consequence, it has been possible to directly compare the different design approaches in terms of open space and building typology. The first construction phase (Lodenareal), based on a competition design, did not provide ideal conditions to implement the Passive House concept due to the continuous balconies with integrated loggias and the elaborate ventilation sys-
