Projects for family houses with regard to energy efficiency
Journal Title: Budownictwo o zoptymalizowanym potencjale energetycznym - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The greatest potential for energy savings can be achieved in the residential sector, where nearly 40% of final energy consumption is spent in all types of buildings. Even though the buildings with nearly zero energy consumption consume 80% less energy for heating and cooling, compared with the conventional ways of energy gains for new buildings and 90% less energy than existing ones, their construction in our country is not very extensive yet. The main reason is high initial investment at the beginning of house construction, although with a guaranteed financial return. Another factor is lack of public trust, or rather lack of information for the future homeowners about the details of buildings with low energy consumption. One way to solve it is through financial bonuses given to future homeowners during house project selection.
