The un-sustainable housing market in Poland. Statistical data analysis and the energy embodied in economic value as a new sustainability indicator
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper shows the state of the Polish housing market in the context of contemporary and historical knowledge about sustainability. Statistical data shows that the promoted economic growth model does not take into account the basic principles of sustainable development. In addition to the correction of obvious inconsistencies in the information provided by the representatives of the housing market, there are also suggestions that we should use the energy embodied in the economic value indicator to estimate the impact of the investment on the environment.
