THE PASSIVHAUS DESIGNER'S MANUAL- A TECHNICAL GUIDE TO LOW AND ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS

摘要

No one can be unaware of the need fora reduction in energy consumption in the built environment. This book draws together the work of a range of technical experts, principally from Western Europe, to examine the technical challenges involved. The work begins with the Editors setting the scene in a background introduction about the Passivhaus standard and its evolution to its current position. This is followed by eight chapters covering, in detail, aspects ranging from thermal and occupier comfort, through building physics, to heating and cooling.
