Abstract

Energy efficient house is a term known very well to engineers and architects all over the world. In these times of minimizing the energy loads and negative emissions, energy efficient houses (ultra-low-energy, net-zero houses, positive houses) are one of the best ways to meet these targets. The main topic of this paper is a comparison between dynamic simulation and static calculation of heating demand of a family house designed for Slovak Republic climate. Two-storey family house was designed taking in account architectural, environmental and constructional requirements of today’s European directives focusing on energy performance and energy efficiency. Our goal was to find out the differences between heating demand calculated using national standards and heating demand using dynamic simulation software.
