The thermal quality of housing elements and energy consumption of low-energy buildings - selected aspects

Abstract

In the article, there are introduced the selected design and executive aspects of low-energy buildings in relation to binding legal regulations. The integral part of this article are calculations and analyses concerning the thermal quality of low energy buildings and factors which form their energy consumption. Proper shaping of material sets for external envelopes and their junction in thermal and humidity aspects essentially influences building needs for energy and pollution emission of the natural environment.
