ENERGY-EFFICIENT SHAPING OF CONTEMPORARY BUILDINGS AND THEIR SURROUNDINGS AS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF MODERNIZATION OF BUILT-UP AREAS
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 21
Abstract
A comprehensive design of a building along with the development of a surrounding land may counterbalance the tendency of housing estates comprising houses built on the basis of “ready-made projects” - which have no references to the existing urban tissue and which do not create a new one. In the first place, the energy intensity of buildings using the so-called passive methods should be lowered, and only then active systems should be applied, considering economic balance. The problem should be considered from two different perspectives i.e. for intensively and for less urbanised areas. The article results in the formulation of guidelines for energy-efficient modernization of contemporary buildings and their surroundings.

ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE APPLICATION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE IN ENERGETIC PLANT PLANTATIONS - A SWOT ANALYSIS
Sewage sludge management in Poland is a relatively new field of waste management called “in statu nascendi”, the standards of which have not been recognized yet. It also requires the implementation of new solutions in th...
Technical and economic aspects of industrial laundry wastewater treatment
Three biological methods of laundry wastewater purification were tested, in pilot scale, in Fliegel Textilservice laundry in Nowe Czarnowo. Among tested methods, rotating biological contactor, membrane bioreactor and spo...
Numerical model of solidification of cast composite with particles
In the paper the numerical model of heat transfer in non-homogeneous domain (cast composite) is considered. The composite is formed by the spherical particles (Pb) and the metal matrix (Al). Initial temperatures of compo...
INFLUENCE OF THE STATIC LOADING OF A RAFT UNCONNECTED TO A PILE ON THE PILE DISPLACEMENTS TESTED IN FIELD CONDITIONS
We present the results of a static pile-raft interaction test in field conditions. The pile and the raft were unconnected. The static loading on the raft affected the displacements of the pile due to the skin friction. T...
