Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Construction projects, once they are completed, are intended to exist in the skylines of cities and towns for decades. Sustainable technologies seek to take these existing structures and make them environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
Design Solutions for nZEB Retrofit Buildings is a critical scholarly resource that examines the importance of creating architecture that not only promotes the daily function of these buildings but is also environmentally sustainable. Featuring a broad range of topics including renewable energy sources, solar energy, and energy performance, this book is geared toward professionals, students, and researchers seeking current research on sustainable options for upgrading existing edifices to become more environmentally friendly.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Definition of nzeb renovation standard -- Selection of design methods in the modernization process of buildings to the nzeb standard -- Selection of renewable energy sources for buildings -- 3xe efficiency ecosphere economics -- The concept of expert system supporting the increase of energy efficiency in buildings -- Energy simulations as a tool in integrated design process -- Improving the design of energy efficient building retrofitting: design guidelines energy simulations and selecting of technologies -- Improving the energy quality and indoor environmental quality in retrofit buildings -- Chosen case studies of nzeb retrofit buildings -- Existing buildings how to meet an nzeb standard the architects perspective -- Single family residential building energy retrofit a case study -- Integration of vegetation with architecture forms -- Impact of climbing plants on buildings and their environment -- The impact of forms of buildings on the air exchange in their environment based on the example of urban development in Warsaw.
"This book contains the outcomes and achievements of a project financed through Bilateral Cooperation Fund. It dwells on the nZEB approach to retrofit. It will allow a worldwide dissemination of knowledge attained during the KODnZEB - Project prepared within the framework of knowledge transfer: upgrade nZEB standard concept for two chosen buildings"-- Provided by publisher.
