Sustainability in Construction
The purpose of the thesis was to explore sustainability in construction. ”BS Project” is an architectural company that is working on a project of a multistory house, located in Sofia, Bulgaria. The investor wants the future building to be sustainable and to be certified as a passive house by PHI (Passive House Institute), Germany. The aim was to explore the sustainable solutions that can be applied in a house in order to become an eco-efficient, passive house. The research provides information about climate and environmental conditions in the specific town and area. Based on the requirements for a passive house, the goal of the study was to reduce the energy consumption to minimum by using mainly natural resources. Different methods used in green building are researched. Systems and methods for a wall structure decreasing the U-value of the wall component are also described. Using the systems and methods will make the building eco-efficient. According to the results of this study it can be concluded that by applying all of the methods and systems and using the proper materials in the wall structure, the new multi-story building can reduce the energy consumption and meet the requirements of the passive house certificate.
