Energieproeftuin: results of an experiment on low-energy housing in The Netherlands

This paper concerns a real scale experiment with low-energy single-family houses in The Netherlands called 'Energieproeftuin' (energy test park). An extensive research programme, which started in 1983 and will end in 1987, is connected to this project. This paper gives an outline of the project and research programme and describes the results obtained thus far with emphasis on the measurements during the first two heating seasons.
