Abstract

In most industrialized nations a large part (~40 %) of primary energy consumption is used for space heating. Most observers agree that a great potential for energy savings of up to 50% exists in this sector. In order to realize this potential a number of measures are being tested or applied in building construction, e.g. improvement of heating and control techniques, better heat insulation, active use of regenerative energy sources, and finally, passive use of solar energy.
