Low-energy buildings - scientific trends and developments (Здания с низким энергопотреблением - научные тенденции и разработки)

На английском языке. Глава из книги: Energy Efficiency. Edited by Jenny Palm, Sciyo, 2010, P. 103-123. One key component in achieving a more sustainable building sector is to introduce different forms of energy-efficient or renewable buildings. In this chapter a review of the literature published within the Web of Science databases on low-energy houses, passive houses, zero energy houses and passive solar houses is presented. The aim is to analyze trends in the scientific literature concerning sustainable buildings and to discuss which issues have been in focus and which have been neglected in earlier studies. This will create a basis for discussing knowledge gaps and future research needs. Our scope is to focus on the development of research on dwellings.
