ABSTRACT
Integrated building design should take into account environmental, social and
economic dimensions of sustainability. Building design from energy performance
ranges from architectural design to the application of technologies for energy con-
servation. Many applications are focused on insulation of facades, roofs and floors to
those that are used systems for renewable energy sources. The aim of the innovations
is not only energy saving but also reduces costs and preserves natural resources.
One key element of low-energy building design is using the basic form and enclosure
of a building to save energy while enhancing occupant comfort. Besides energy need
for building operation the significant part of the total energy is energy used in the
extraction, processing and transportation of materials used in buildings. This study
is aimed to analyze the building materials and structures in terms of embodied envi-
ronmental impacts and monitoring of physical factors of indoor environment.
The paper deals with evaluation of environmental and energy indicators in selected
low-energy family house and its optimization in order to reduction of environmental
impacts.
