It Takes Tech to Tango Way past Ikea lies a Swedish housing complex that is ecologically sound and wired for all sorts of remote control fiddling with heat, power and security. Peter Soderlholm pays two or three times the market rate for the 850-square-foot apartment he and his wife moved into last year in the Swedish city of Malmo, an apartment about half the size of their previous home. That's quite a premium for a unit located on a contaminated former Saab factory site, even if it sits by the sea and on a clear day offers a view of the Danish coast 10 miles away. But Soderlholm and his wife, Gunvor, are happy to pay: they live in Tango, a green-and-wired 27-unit complex that decontaminates its own soil, recycles its water into a rebuilt marsh ecology, generates power from renewable sources, uses roof space to put oxygen back into the environment and, through sensors and broadband Web access, allows owners to remotely monitor and control everything from energy use to electronic key access. Soderlholm can sit on his balcony, survey the Oresund like a sea captain, and know that he lives on a showcase for the convergence of home technologies that, piece by piece, are popping up in developments in Europe and the United States.
