ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY OF RAMMED EARTH BUILDINGS
Earth construction has long tradition in our civilization with wide distribution in various ways and techniques of application. When combined with other natural materials it is the material for construction of comfortable space for people. Increased need for energy efficient houses actualizes this type of construction in modern conditions as a holi...

THE INFLUENCE OF LINEAR THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE OF THERMAL BRIDGES ON THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE CLASS OF BUILDINGS – SIMPLIFIED METHOD
Thermal bridges have significant influence at calculation of the energy performance classes of buildings. This especially applies to countries where energy performance classes of buildings are determined based only on energy consumption for heating (such as Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia...). Significant differences arise in determining th...

APPLICATION OF EARTH AND STRAW MIXTURES IN MODERN BUILDING
Building with earth is widespread and still mostly based on traditional experiences. Increasing demands in energy consumption reduction during the construction and exploitation of buildings put more and more in the focus the good features of houses built with earth.Testing of earth mixtures with other natural materials showed that it can get even a...
