Our modern way of life affects the earth negatively and modern man has realized that we must start acting climate smart. Producing energy affects the environment negatively in many ways and a large part of the daily energy use is connected to our buildings and the pursuit of a pleasant indoor climate. By building climate-smart, we can drastically save on energy consumption in our homes.
Our low-energy houses combine low energy use and low operating costs with good comfort.
SEASIDE LIVING BY RYDEN was founded in 2017 and has grown into a multidisciplinary company specializing in architectural design and the sale and manufacture of sustainable, energy efficient homes. You can choose whether you want to build a completely finished house in our factory, ready-made wall elements that are assembled on site, ready-made roof elements with unparalleled insulation and the market’s most environmentally friendly building foundations in cellular glass. We sell and build houseboats and build apartment buildings in CLT Wood.
Innovation is a hallmark of the company. We build completely ready-made modular houses from the factory, we offer ready-made wall systems and ready-made roof elements that are easily assembled in one day, and we use environmentally friendly building foundations in cellular glass.
Our houseboats are built either in CLT Wood, SIP systems, as ready-made modular houses or with ready-made wall elements that are mounted on pontoons.
Today, the product line includes houses manufactured in one factory that manufactures prefabricated SIP walls and roofs, and finished modular buildings and wall elements manufactured in another factory.
The technology in passive houses is based on minimizing heat losses and saving residual heat from individuals, household appliances, computers, etc. The other low-energy houses have somewhat lower requirements, but the concept has in common that the houses must be completely airtight, without thermal bridges and that they must maintain low U-values.
Passive houses have good comfort with good air without drafts or drafts. They have low CO2 emissions during construction and are energy efficient, which is good for the environment. (Globally, energy for buildings accounts for 40% of total energy use and 50% of Co2 emissions).
Passive houses are easy to look after and require less maintenance. In a passive house, you have a greater opportunity for healthier energy consumption and more environmentally friendly living.
Low-energy houses is a collective name for buildings that use less energy than houses built according to practice or according to what the building code requires. Quite simply, a construction technique that reduces energy use both at the time of construction and in the building.
Examples of Swedish low-energy houses are passive houses, mini-energy houses, self-heating houses, zero-energy houses, plus-energy houses and smart or intelligent houses. The most comprehensive concept is passive houses, which have higher requirements than other low-energy houses.
Common to all low-energy buildings is that they must be completely sealed, without thermal bridges and that they must maintain low U-values.
The wall elements have low enough U-values to qualify in passive houses, but many also choose them in other low-energy buildings. Our wall elements are delivered with a plaster-like surface as standard. They bring life to the facade and lower the total U-value at the same time.
The passive houses optimize low energy use and very good living comfort. It is important that a passive house is tight to reduce heat losses. Air exchange takes place via the ventilation system and not through the walls. The air can then be filtered, which minimizes pollutants that otherwise leak in through cracks and traditional valves. The heat in a passive house comes from several different sources, for example the household appliances and the heat from the people staying in the house.
We use Novasip® modular systems with low U-values for the base plate, walls and roof. Novasip’s 300 mm thick wall has a U-value of 0.11, which is significantly lower than the corresponding building system on the market.
The air in a passive house is better than in normally built villas. In the home, you want a good indoor climate without emissions from, for example, building materials.
The passive house is equipped with mechanical ventilation with heat exchangers whose filters effectively filter out pollen and dust from the incoming air. This means that bad air is ventilated away at the same time as the heat in the air is preserved before it disappears.
Solar radiation is used to heat both houses and hot water and is available as an option, and with solar cells on the roof, the energy consumption is basically completely covered throughout the year.
A plus-energy house is a type of low-energy house with very low operating costs. The building produces more energy than it disposes of. Because the house is extremely well insulated and equipped with solar heating and solar cells, you can sell electricity back to the grid.
In Sweden, there are so far only a few houses built as plus-energy houses, but the number is expected to increase as technology and legislation keep up.
We collaborate with Novasip, which has over twenty years of experience in panel production for the industry. They have undergone certification as passive house builders and are at the forefront of the development of future building materials and low-energy solutions.
Novasip’s SIP panels are delivered in different thicknesses depending on the desired U-value. The products are designed to be able to build with a lower U-value than traditional construction.
Glad you like what we do!
