Design process for energy-efficient residential buildings
Abstract
The analysis of the design process for energy-efficient residential buildings is presented in the paper. Buildings currently under construction in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia are analyzed. The complexity of the overall construction process, from the design solution to building construction, is considered in detail. The attention is drawn to great significance of the use of computer programs in the design process, particularly during computation of energy requirements aimed at achieving comfort of interior space.
