Increasing energy efficiency of social building

Abstract

EN: The European Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings insists that all residential buildings from the end of 2020 must meet the standard of a building with «zero» energy consumption or be “positive”, all existing residential buildings need thermal modernization according to modern requirements. The professors and students of PSABA participated in the International project “International Sustainable Engineering Practices”, which was supported by the Visegrad Fund. The global aim of the InStep project was to improve the education of future planners in the field of nearly zero energy buildings. One of the tasks for the participants was to develop a reconstruction/ renovation project of the Center-shelter for women with children in Malacky (Slovakia).
