Life Cycle Energy Performance Evaluation,directed to assess and reduce this energy use, and future refurbishment projects might aim for ‘zero-energy’ buildings. As this goal is progressively approached, buildings generally often employ an increasing amount of materials and systems, to the point that the energy associated with these, the so

The concept of “nearly zero energy buildings” gives an indication of what is considered achievable, and this has now been widely demonstrated for new buildings of all kinds. However, the large number of buildings that have already been b

Careful long-term decisions in the retrofit and operation of buildings can significantly improve their thermal performance and thus reduce their consumption of energy. Moreover, they can improve indoor environmental quality in buildings. Altern

Toxicity Issues: Radon,on systems (SDS) seems to be more cost-effective than the use of protection measures installed during construction like radon-barrier membranes which have a significant failure rate. Since radon concentration is very dependent on the air change rate (ACH), it is important to maintain adequate air ve
