2. What techniques can be used upstream to limit energy use in buildings?
Limiting a building's energy use can be achieved right from the design phase, by defining an efficient envelope and appropriate systems.
2.1 Building envelope and ventilation design
2.1.1 Thermal insulation of the building envelope
The first element that can be mobilized to control energy consumption is the building envelope. First and foremost, bioclimatic design should be encouraged (see below), followed by sufficient insulation for the various walls that delimit the building and its...
