With respect to architecture and building materials, this reorientation process has led to advanced technological developments designed to achieve a reduction in the consumption of resources for heating purposes. There is a general trend to reduce the heat loss caused by a transmission through walls and windows. Today, triple glazing and well-insulated walls are used to cut the heating energy demand. On a medium-term basis, the transmission loss might be reduced by approx. 70% so that anaverage energy consumption of 50 kWh per m squared and year might possibly be attained in the future.
Keynote speech describes the difficulties of designing air conditioning system with human comfort in mind. Lists design fundamentals for satisfactory indoor air quality, together with a description of some case studies.
