A New Method of Technical Analysis to Optimise the Design of Low Impact Energy Systems for Buildings

Energy consumption for civil constructions represents about 40% of total energy requirements, so it is necessary to achieve the goal of energy savings and the consequent reduction of greenhouse gases emissions. The study in content aims to provide a design methodology enables to identify the best...
