Passive building - analysis of wall construction solutions
Journal Title: Budownictwo o zoptymalizowanym potencjale energetycznym - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Aspirations to reduce consumption of natural resources combined with increasing energy prices have contributed to the search for solutions to reduce costs to end users. This is a translation into promotion of equitable use of various types of appliances and equipment with lower demand for electricity. House heating represents the highest level of energy consumption. According to th is, it is important to put intention on lowered costs in buildings thanks to reduced demand for energy. Achievement of this goal is possible mainly thanks to the basic factor of installing better insulation throughout the buildings. It means that a new challenge has been raised for the engineers - energy efficient construction. Recently this field has been developing very dynamically. A challenge was raised for buildings to achieve the nearly zero energy consumption. Also the standard requirements of newly constructed buildings impose guidelines with a maximum thermal transpiration of the barrier. Many modern materials and old, well-known but modernized ones were used in these new solutions. The review and analysis of these energy efficient building’s struct ure are the main topics developed in this study. This review shall present the solutions that are currently in use and are available on the Polish market. The evaluation of them has provided useful information and results.
