ShareSuper-efficient buildings: how low can you go?
Author(s) : TODESCO G.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The super-efficient design is planned to have an energy consumption index of 300 megajoules/m2 per year compared to 1,050 megajoules/m2 per year for the base case design. There are efficient design practices based on displacement ventilation and cool ceiling systems that are becoming widely used in Northern Europe. Typical consumption for such designs range from 360 to 460 megajoules/m2 per year. A secondary benefit is that they offer improved indoor air quality compared to conventional systems due to more efficient removal of contaminants.
