The building sector is responsible for high energy consumption and its global
demand is expected to grow as each day, there are approximately 200,000 new
inhabitants on planet Earth. The majority of electric energy will continue to be
generated from the combustion of fossil fuels releasing not only carbon dioxide,
but also methane and nitrous oxide. Energy efficiency measures are therefore
crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the building sector.
Energy efficient building retrofitting needs not only to be technically feasible,
but also economically viable. New building materials and advanced technologies
already exist, but the knowledge to integrate all active components is still scarce
and far from being widespread among building industry stakeholders.
Part One of this book addresses thermal insulation materials, phase change
materials, reflective materials, smart windows, solar collectors and building
integrated photovoltaics. Part Two reviews measurement and verification models,
smart energy systems and optimization with genetic algorithms and neural
networks. The book concludes with several interesting case studies on energy
efficient retrofitting for various building types in different climatic zones.
