CREATING HEALTHY AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE HOPE PROJECT

摘要

Within the European research project HOPE, 97 apartment buildings and 67 office buildings - of which approximately 75% have been designed to be energy-efficient, and half of them are indeed - were investigated using checklists addressing the building characteristics and questionnaires to the occupants asking their perceived comfort (thermal visual, acoustical and indoor air quality) and health (sick building syndrome and allergies). The analysis of the collected data, together with experience gained from former projects and literature lead us to present guidelines for creating healthy and energy-efficient buildings. These guidelines are presented together with the rationale and facts on which they are based.
