1. How to use EcoCycleDesign?
When using EcoCycleDesign as a method we study the flows through a building or a city
The flow of energy
The flow of water
The flow of air
The flow of material

2. The ultimate eco-cycle-adapted house:
Will be built with organic, economical, technical and social vision
Will be run with a project management from the first idea to completion
Will be accomodated to local conditions and local climate
Should works towards protecting biodiversity
Combines beatiful design with system design
Have sealed flows and circulation
Have flows that can be measured
Get their added energy from renewable energy sources
Is a learning process during the whole life cycle

3. Policy for eco-cycle-adapted buildings
Our policy document is the framework for our way of designing.
We also have a method for the production of needed documents for the design phase

4. Before starting the design phase write a program
A program for a city or a building is based upon:
An ideal social vision
An ideal ecological vision
An ideal technical vision
An ideal economic vision
Information about the site
Stick to the final program. No compromises!
As a part of the quality control EcoCycleDesign needs a professional project manager from the idea to the maintenance phase
Education is crucial throughout the whole process
Every project must be evaluated to give important knowledge for future projects
A program is the buisness idea for the project

5. Investment cost and yearly cost
GreenZone 17% more expensive than an ordinary
buildings
Yearly cost 8% lower already the first year
Residential houses about 10% more expensive than
ordinary buildings
Yearly cost 10% lower
Energy need 25% of the accepted new standard in
Sweden
No need for district heating and traditional waste
water treatment
