Energy used for building heating, ventilating and air conditioning contributes to a great share in thetotal energy consumption worldwide. Better…
For outsiders, a national energy performance (EP) requirement level is quite a black box. Within the EU Asiepi project (www.…
For quite a long time energy conservation and energy efficiency were concentrated on a singlebuilding approach. Until 2000 nearly all national building…
On the way to the solution of our energy-problems, the conditioning of buildings is the most importantsector. We have to create new buildings, that produce…
The vortex ventilation system (VV) which uses a rotating finned swirler installed coaxially with the exhaust duct is a very effective local ventilator. VV…
The paper is devoted to the analysis of possibility for construction of low energy buildings withenvelopes controlled for minimization of energy consumption…
The influence of ventilation on the energy performance of a building is generally considered to be quite high. It rises clearly, when a building contains…
Thermal bridges increase the building energy demand for heating and cooling. For well insulatedenvelopes and buildings with increased energy efficiency, the…
