Overview
Aims
Knowlege of concepts about sustainable development and the importance of interdisciplinary approach in designing energy-efficient buildings and sustainable urban planning.
Considerations regarding the most favorable orientation of the building on the site Geometric conformation and level of thermal insulation of the tire (details to minimize the effect of thermal bridges and high tightness) Ventilation with heat recovery
Performance criteria in designing buildings with near zero energy consumption nZEB, in accordance with the european legal requirements from recast directive EPDB.
