Future of Life Cohousing Residencial Park and an energy producing community
The History of Cohousing
Where it all Began: Cohousing in Denmark
The first attempt to build a Danish cohousing community began in the winter of 1964 when Danish architect Jan Gudmand-Hoyer gathered a group of friends to discuss current housing options. Realdania, a philanthropic player in the real estate market in Denmark, has investigated the issue of whether co-housing schemes are part of the solution. As a result, there is a huge interest in co-housing among seniors.
In most societies, the risk of loneliness increases with urbanisation. In the countryside, people know each other even if they live at a distance. But in the city, people don’t know each other very well. Frequently, we don’t know who the others are in our apartment building.
I believe that this is a genuine problem in most parts of the world. We should all partake in the debate regarding what we can do to change the development.

The diffusion of consumer innovation in sustainable energy technologies
A new buzzword is out on the streets signaling a growing shift in how we power our homes and communities – “prosumers.”
Simply put, a prosumer is someone who both produces and consumes energy.
Consumers are no longer mere adopters of small-scale renewable energy technologies (S-RETs) such as solar, pellet and heat-pump technologies. Prosumers create new technology solutions, collaborate with other consumers, and share their ideas, knowledge and inventions with peers in online communities they have formed. These activities by consumers support the proliferation of sustainable energy technology in contexts where institutions and technology characteristics are not yet fully developed for the wide proliferation of S-RET. The issues in the market diffusion of cleaner micro-generation technologies are not limited to “barriers” or “challenges” to top-down diffusion.
SUSTAINABLE HOMES THAT GENERATE MORE ELECTRICITY THAN THEY CONSUME
What should we do with surplus renewable energy?
The solution: MESS (Mobile Energy Storage) combining with the V2G, V2H, V2L, V2X systems.
What is vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology?In simple terms, vehicle to grid enables EVs to export their unused battery capacity back to the grid to fill gaps in renewable energy generation or provide support during times of peak demand.
The project is in line with the "Clean energy for all Europeans package" adopted by the European Union in 2019
