Publisher Description:
An essential aspect of an energy-efficient building is its demand of primary energy over the whole life cycle. How to calculate this demand and what kind of holistic factors affect the performance of a sustainable und healthy building is mostly not transparent for architects and owners.

This book should help to clarify the criteria and to expand the focus for ecological buildings. As a handbook and reference book it informs owners, architects and planers how to plan, build and operate a building in an energy-efficient and economic way.

The contents of this book are based on the extensive experience of the authors and their colleagues, in planning, construction and operation of such buildings. It documents, through examples, innovative architectural and technical solutions and also the target-oriented use of specialist tools for both planning and operation.
