Buildings account for almost a third of final energy consumption globally and are an equally important source of CO2 emissions. Currently, both space heating and cooling as well as hot water are estimated to account for roughly half of global energy consumption in buildings. Energy-efficient and low/zero-carbon heating and cooling technologies for buildings have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 2 gigatonnes (Gt) and save 710 million tonnes oil equivalent (Mtoe) of energy by 2050. Most of these technologies – which include solar thermal, combined heat and power (CHP), heat pumps and thermal energy storage – are commercially available today. The Energy-Efficient Buildings: Heating and Cooling Equipment Roadmap sets out a detailed pathway for the evolution and deployment of the key underlying technologies. It finds that urgent action is required if the building stock of the future is to consume less energy and result in lower CO2 emissions. The roadmap concludes with a set of near-term actions that stakeholders will need to take to achieve the roadmap’s vision.

Das Handbuch für die energetische Sanierung von historischen Gebäuden basiert auf bauphysikalischen Prinzipien und berücksichtigt zugleich die Kriterien zur Erhaltung von historischer Bausubstanz. In einem holistischen Ansatz werden, von der ersten Diagnose bis hin zu klaren und pragmatisch gestalteten Interventionen, drei Grundsätze des energieeffizienten Gebäudes verwoben: Erhaltung der historischen Bausubstanz, Nutzerkomfort und Energieeffizienz. Mit Konstruktionsbeispielen, umfangreichen Berechnungen und Ergebnissen von Messreihen, die anhand von acht Best-Practice-Fallstudien erstellt wurden, ist das Handbuch ein unverzichtbares Instrument für die Instandsetzung und energetische Ertüchtigung von historischen Gebäuden. Die Inhalte wurden über mehrere Jahre von einem interdisziplinären Forscherteam erarbeitet und spiegeln die ganze Bandbreite der verschiedenen Fachkompetenzen wider. This handbook holistically summarises the principles for the energy retrofitting of historic buildings, from the first diagnosis to the adequately designed intervention: preservation of the historic structure, user comfort, and energy efficiency. The content was developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers. The wide range of different expertise, design examples, calculations, and measuring results from eight case studies makes this manual an indispensable tool for all architects, engineers, and energy consultants.

This open access book presents a methodology for the assessment of structural building details, taking into account the contemporary guidelines for earthquake-resistant and energy-efficient buildings. A review of structural details for energy-efficient buildings revealed that in some cases the structural system is interrupted, leading to solutions which are not suitable for earthquake-prone regions. Such typical examples would be the use of thermal insulation under the building foundation and reduction of the load-bearing elements’ dimensions – also at the potential locations of plastic hinges which are crucial for the dissipation of seismic energy. The proposed methodology of assessment favours a collaboration of architects, engineers, contractors and investors in the early stage of building design. By this the methodology enables efficient decision-making and contributes to a selection of optimal building structural details. The book starts by presenting the typical structural details of the thermal envelope of energy-efficient buildings together with the scientific background required for understanding the process of detail development from all the relevant aspects. Over 20 examples of most frequent details are described and analysed to raise awareness of the importance of earthquake resistance, sustainability, energy-efficiency and thermal comfort for users
