ZEOLIT JAKO DODATEK DO ZAPRAW I BETONÓW

Abstract

The communal and living sector, a sub-sector with the majority share of residential buildings, on average accounts for approximately 41% of the total energy consumption in the European Union. Due to this fact, the buildings sector has a significant potential for improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings and thus significantly reducing the emission of air pollutants. One way is through thermal modernization. This article presents the expected energy and environmental effects of measures that modify existing residential buildings to conform to the requirements expected to come into force in Poland in 2021. It has been assumed that the energy demand for heating buildings will be limited to 55 kWh/(m2year) for multi-family residential buildings and 60 kWh/(m2year) for single-family residential buildings. The calculations show that it is possible to reduce the energy consumption of heating residential buildings by over 70%, which will result in a reduction of total air pollutant emissions from home heating when compared to 2011.
