  • Concept:

    building: residential, house, home

    Residential buildings, the homes, had been a strong driving force for building envelope research.

    In Europe, there are about 150 million residential buildings and 2 million new ones are being built every year. Of the existing stock, 70% is built before the first energy crisis, 1/3 are more than 50 years old. More than 50% of construction activity is retrofitting.
