Pastatai turi tapti energij tausojan iais, nes, anot dabartinio Europos ene-rgijos s naud balanso, beveik pus visos energijos suvartoja pastat sektorius, ir i dalis sudaro daugiau nei tre dal visos CO2 emisijos. Vertinant pastat energijos suvartojim , daugiausia tyrin jamos vairios technin s pastat charakteristikos.

Straipsnyje analizuojami realizuoti ir ekperimentiniai projektai i viso pasaulio, analizuojama energij tausojan i pastat tipologija.

Straipsnis angl kalba Energy efficiency of buildings, of course, is now a major issue in the construction industry. It is being widely examined both among construction professionals and amateurs. There is no doubt that energy efficiency as a key factor in ensuring environmental sustainability will become the main driving force of the construction in the future. Buildings have to become more energy-efficient. This opinion is supported by the existing energy-use balance in Europe, indicating that the housing sector spends almost half of total energy consumption and building sector forms more than a third of total CO2 emissions (Bradley 2010). While discussing the subject of building energy efficiency, mostly different technical characteristics of buildings and engineering solutions are talked over. However, it has been relatively little examined how energy-efficient design affects the building¡¯s architecturally-aesthetic side, styles of expression and trends in the architect¡¯s profession. We learn that the essence for an energy-efficient building lies in smart modesty (Bokalders, Block 2010) and the rational utilization of materials (aim high ¨C go low). And still ¨C can energy efficient building be expressive, extravagant, and perhaps ¨C even ambitious? There are many ideas implemented in projects which show that energy efficiency is not an obstacle to large scale architectural ideas. However, in order to combine architectural and artistic ambitions with the principles of sustainability, architects should search for an entirely new approach to architectural expression based on a detailed assessment of solutions applied from environmental point of view.
