Dear Longlifers,

The last year was an important and hard time for our project Longlife. The main outputs of the project – the five national pilot projects- were designed on the base of the developed benchmarks and Longlife Standards. The pilot projects demonstrate the sustainable, energy efficient and resource saving ideas for the residential buildings in the Baltic Sea Region: Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Russia.

The Longlife Prototype Catalogue was composed as a selection of building materials, components and the key technologies which fulfil Longlife standards for energy efficiency enable calculation of CO2- emissions and reduction of the operational costs.

The Longlife Performance Pass© was developed for the evaluation and dissemination of the sustainable buildings with measurable data in the fields of energy, costs and qualities.

We are pleased that we together with our international teams have successfully brought the project Longlife to the completion.

Now, we wish you and your family peaceful and happy Christmas time and may the New Year will be filled with new hopes, new joy and new beginnings.

Looking forward to continue the warm association we share in 2012!
