Résumé

Energy fuels the world's economy and is essential to maintain our civilisation. In the next 50 years supplies of fossil fuels will become scarce and the climatic impact of burning fossil fuels has already started to affect the weather systems. As a result, there is international concern over the impact of global warming and growing pressure to mitigate any adverse effects. Buildings are responsible for around a third of all energy consumption and over 40% of the EU's carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, as designers of buildings specialists are in a key position to help reduce these emissions and the corresponding impact on global warming.
