Introduction – Critical Details study material

The material deals with the critical details of this issue. The factors having direct impact on the energy efficiency of the building itself, the basic requirements for new and significantly renewed buildings and the individual stages of chosen technological procedures are described in this document.

4. Individual stages of chosen technological procedures

The Basic aspects for a building to be categorized as a building with almost zero need of energy are mainly responsible and high-quality project preparation, building realization and realization of the individual technological procedures. Another part of these stages is also the important communication among professions to reach the set goals and the building envelope was as efficient as possible, of high quality with a long lifespan. Every profession which enters the preparation phase (the project preparation) must proceed responsibly and in their part, use the available innovations which have an impact on the lifespan of the embedded materials and their construction detail solution.  The same approach must by chosen also in the second part, where the building as well as the particular construction details are realized, (e.g., the detail of connecting the transparent structure to the building wall with the insulation system)  The foundation of having a successful building with almost a zero energy need is the communication among the particular professions, professional education and the knowledge of innovative technological solutions, checking the individual professions during construction. The analyzed stages influencing the outcome of the building process are:

  • Preparation stage – the project part,
  • Execution stage – execution of the building process itself along with the particular construction details

Both these stages influence the overall quality and the lifespan of the building envelope when considering the possibility of malfunctions and mainly considering the quality of the internal environment, which is nowadays being evaluated in the first stage, and check the in-situ after the realization of the building. It is the pasportization of the building before putting it into use.  You can find the individual stages and the technical solution compatibility analysis of the technical solution of transparent constructions with the building envelope and the insulation system ETICS (Figure 1).
