Low Energy Buildings Design and Human Comfort Solution
Author(s): Abdeen Omer*
The use of renewable energy sources is a fundamental factor for a
possible energy policy in the future. Taking into account the sustainable
character of the majority of renewable energy technologies, they
are able to preserve resources and to provide security, diversity of
energy supply and services, virtually without environmental impact.
Sustainability has acquired great importance due to the negative
impact of various developments on environment. The rapid growth
during the last decade has been accompanied by active construction,
which in some instances neglected the impact on the environment and
human activities. Policies to promote the rational use of electric energy
and to preserve natural non-renewable resources are of paramount
importance. Low energy design of urban environment and buildings
in densely populated areas requires consideration .. View More»
