ultra-low-energy family house

Ultra-low-energy house is a term known very well to engineers and architects all over the world. In these times of minimizing an energy loads and negative emissions, energy efficient houses are one of the best ways to meet European “20-20-20” targets. The main topic of this paper is to create a building envelope assessment of an ultra-low-energy family house designed for Slovak Republic climate. Family house was designed taking in account architectural, environmental and constructional requirements of today´s European directives focusing on energy performance and energy efficiency.
