Indoor quality of buildings has a direct impact on its inhabitants. The design of a building needs should include a healthy environment and if possible include application of building materials which are free of harmful substances and allow a low energy design. The building industry nowadays should concentrate on low energy buildings and put emphasis on natural materials and renewable resources, so todays aim is to decrease the energy requirements and contribute to a healthier indoor environment in buildings and to sustainable development. The peer reviewed papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Near Zero Energy Buildings; Chapter 2: Quality of Indoor Environment; Chapter 3: Heat Storage and Energy Savings; Chapter 4: Effective Ventilation; Chapter 5: Integration of Renewable Energy Sources; Chapter 6: Natural and Environmental Friendly Building Materials; Chapter 7: Noise Protection; Chapter 8: Building Simulation.Review from Book News Inc.:The 73 papers in this collection explore sustainable construction from theperspectives of near-zero energy buildings, the quality of indoorenvironment, heat storage and energy savings, effective ventilation,integrating renewable energy sources, natural and environmentally friendlybuilding materials, noise protection, and building simulation.Among the topics are the impact of internal thermal insulation systems onthe static behavior of exterior walls, optimizing the design of daylightguidance systems including measurement methodology, developing buildingelements with thermal insulation filler based on secondary raw materials,integrating reclaimed asphalt pavement into warm mix asphalt to developsustainable roads, and a mathematical model of a multi-layer wall withphase-change materials and its use in optimal design.
