| Summary |
Building energy design is currently going through a period of majorchanges. One key factor of this is the adoption of net-zero energyas a long term goal for new buildings in most developed countries. To achieve this goal a lot of research is needed to accumulateknowledge and to utilize it in practical applications. In thisbook, accomplished international experts present advanced modelingtechniques as well as in-depth case studies in order to aiddesigners in optimally using simulation tools for net-zero energybuilding design. The strategies and technologies discussed in thisbook are, however, al |
