Contents: Aimed at low energy buildings an analysis of the heat balance and thermal indoor climate of the house related to its form, size and design is made. Another topic will be the air tightness of the house and how to obtain it. The influence of fresh-air ventilation on energy consumption and thermal indoor climate is analysed. A special topic will be the design of windows, atria and solar walls. Methods of analysing daylight in buildings are examined. Methods of making and calculating energy renovation of different building types are studied.
