INDOOR THERMAL ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF RESIDENTIAL HOUSES DESIGNED IN CONSIDERING OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Abstract

Recently, due to deeper interest in the problems of global environment, the low energy and/or low impact buildings were started to be built in Japan. It is very important not only to design several demanded performance, but also to evaluate these buildings by the residential data. In this paper, data of 30 residential houses designed in considering of energy efficiency, were collected. These houses were evaluated from the viewpoint of indoor thermal environment and energy efficiency.
