Abstract

Over the last two decades, greenhouse gas abatement for climate protection has become a major goal in developed countries and increasing attention has been focused on how to make buildings (‘whose ongoing operation consume about 40% of all energy’) more efficient. “Green building” refers to “the use of environmentally preferable practices and materials in the design, location, construction, and operation of buildings. It applies to both renovation or retrofitting of buildings and construction of new ones, residential or commercial, public or private” (Commission for Environmental Cooperation 2008).

Notes

  1. 1.

    The European Union has supported the improvement of building energy performance with a range of legislative and funding mechanisms and instruments. A key part of this legislation is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The EPBD was approved on 16 December 2002 and brought into force on 4 January 2003. Its principal objective is to promote the improvement of the energy performance of buildings within the EU, through cost-effective measures.
