Green Building
An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent. This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most ene...

Green Building Trends
The “green building revolution” is a worldwide movement for energy-efficient, environmentally aware architecture and design. Europe has been in the forefront of green building technology, and Green Building Trends: Europe provides an indispensable overview of these cutting edge ideas and applications. In order to write this book, well-known U.S. green building expert Jerry Yudelson interviewed a number of Europe’s leading architects and engineers and visited many exemplary projects. With the help of copious photographs and illustrations, Yudelson describes some of the leading contemporary green buildings in Europe, including the new Lufthansa headquarters in Frankfurt, the Norddeutsche...

Comparison of energy efficient and green buildings
The adverse environmental impacts from inefficient building construction increase if measures to reduce energy and resource use, through stringent building policies and efficient technology, are not implemented in developed and developing countries. To illustrate a holistic approach to reducing buildings’ energy and resources, the comparison of energy efficient and green buildings in terms of their technological aspects and their policy context in developed and developing countries, mainly in Europe, the USA and India, is presented together with a policy package recommendation for Nepal. A quality review of multiple literature sources, supported by various expert opinions, were the methods...

Die Energiewende und ihre Folgen für die Immobilienwirtschaft: Eine Studie im Kontext der Nachhaltigkeit
Der Zugang zu günstigerer Energie in ausreichender Menge hat den westlichen Industriestaaten in der Vergangenheit zu wirtschaftlichem Aufschwung und Prosperität verholfen. Der ungehemmte Verbrauch fossiler Energieträger hat jedoch auch negative Folgen. Aufgrund der Endlichkeit fossiler Energieträger steigen deren Preise und gefährden damit Wirtschaft und Wohlstand. Aufsteigende Schwellenländer wie China oder Indien drängen in den Markt und beanspruchen Ressourcen für sich. Durch die Verknappung der Rohstoffe ist die sichere Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit genügend günstigerer Energie bedroht. Weiterhin verstärken sich die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels. Der durch den Verbrauch foss...
