Principles of Energy Efficient House Design. The Comparison of Two Dwelling Concepts

By Bastian Görke

Academic Paper from the year 2005 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 2, language: English, abstract: This report compares the thermal performances of two dwellings, type A and type B, in calculating the heat loss parameter of each dwelling. In times of climate change and scarcity of resources, the importance of energy efficient building design has increased significantly and costumers demand new solution to get independent of rising fuel prices and to save energy. Therefore, energy efficient design has to comprise more than just insulation of the envelope of dwellings. Whilst the insulation still is one of the most important mean to stop the heat loss of the fabric, the concepts of heating, lighting and internal appliances have gained a great importance in energy efficient design.
