Summary

States theory and practice show that large amounts of energy can be saved. Buildings constructed with highly insulated facades including special glazing and appropriate mechanical ventilation can be operated to consume low amounts of energy and provide high user comfort. Treats the use of computer simulation to reveal sources of energy loss in buildings. Describes innovative building concepts, including coated glazing elements and special glass types. Presents the main details and measured energy consumptions of three office buildings and a staff accommodation building, all with highly insulated facades plus mechanical ventilation.
