The experiments are performed with help of the Passive House Planning Package where different alternatives are investigated. The results of the analysis have been cost estimated and compared with expected future energy prices using life cycle cost calculations.The life cycle cost calculations resulted in a variety of scenarios with different results dependent on the selected values of the input parameters. The results are not quite conclusive and the answer of the question if it is profitable to build a passive house in Kiruna is still uncertain. The uncertainties of the results are mainly due to difficulties in predicting energy prices, interest rates and inflation. However, energy savings occur in all scenarios which means that the profitability of the investments are only a matter of time.
