2013 βραβεία για πράσινα κτίρια: οι νικητές μείωσαν την ενεργειακή κατανάλωση στο μισό
Energy-saving efforts in ten new and refurbished buildings in 6 European
countries (Austria, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland, Denmark) have
today been recognised with the European Commission's GreenBuilding
Awards.
Buildings are responsible for about 40% of total energy consumption in
the EU. The average energy savings of 51% achieved by the winners shows
that real savings can be made in buildings, towards meeting the EU's
targets for energy reduction. The highest energy savings (75%) came from
a refurbished Austrian office building (Amtshaus Schlagergass), which
installed a newly insulated roof, heat absorption glazed windows and
dynamic shading devices.
The majority of the energy savings were obtained through the
introduction of renewable energy sources and energy efficient measures
(including heat pumps, condensing boilers, triple glazing, LED lighting,
occupancy control and a high level of insulation). Many buildings
achieved large energy savings by using highly-efficient heat recovery in
air conditioning or ventilation systems.
The award ceremony takes place today during the NextBuilding conference in Milan.
