Study of the Energy Use Characteristics of Concrete Multi Family Dwelling Buildings and the Relevance for Economy and Environment
Författare
Summary, in English
Reduction of energy use in buildings is fundamental for
sustainable development. A computer program for the prediction
of energy use in buildings was assessed by comparisons with the
energy performance of existing buildings. The program was then
used to evaluate the energy saving characteristics of concrete such
as air tightness and heat capacity.
The impacts on global environmental aspects and life cycle costs
were examined. In a multi-family dwelling building a concrete
building structure can contribute to a reduction of the annual
requirement for space heating by up to 8%.
