Abstract
This paper reports on method and results of 'Design for Energy Efficiency', a design and technology task area of the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing research program - a project jointly based in institutions of architecture, energy research and industrial engineering. The paper presents a research method through which design studies were systematically developed to establish a vision and quantifiable goals for energy efficient housing in the year 2030. Problem definition, design, and performance specification phases of this task are summarized, emphasizing areas where principles of design and technology have converged to realize high standards of economy, energy performance and quality in housing. Goals of 'zero net energy use' and 'zero net cost increase' were established for specification phases of the task.
