Staff Sgt. Fank Brown, AFN Bulvaria, interviews James McPeak, project engineer, NAU, on the site of the million Urlas townhouses. Twenty-two of these house are "Passivhauser" or passive homes. The houses are named this because of their energy efficient design. The units would use about one-fourth the energy consumed by a standard German home. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Carol E.

Construction at the new million Urlas townhouses located in Ansbach,Germany is approximately at the half way point. These energy efficient Passivhauser or passive homes are German designed. When complete, each of the 22 homes will use approximately one-fourth the energy demands of a standard German home. To the Soldier living in them, there will be little visual different with the expection of a solar panel on each roof. The real difference is on the walls and in the windows. Extra thick insulation, triple-paned glass and innovative HVAC system makes these townhomes the most energy efficient homes in the Department of the Defense.
