Energy-efficient buildings in Slovakia: Green atrium

Abstract

Power management is very necessary, as well as the environment. Construction of low energy and passive houses, however, both of these requirements can be fulfilled. Project Green Atrium is the first passive apartment building in Slovakia that meets the requirements for passive buildings. In many cases also it achieved superior results as desired. Exceptional properties of Green Atrium have been achieved through these parameters: heat consumption for heating, heat transfer coefficient of walls and infiltration through leaks of building.
