Preface (extract) (by Manfred Hegger)
The Energy Manual not only adds one more tittle to the series of Construction Manuals but also a new dimension. For the first time it is not primarily concerned with fundamentals, a building material or a construction element group. This Manual approaches design and construction from apparently invisible qualities: the sustainability and energy-efficiency of buildings.
There is a whole range of arguments in favour of this way of looking at things. No other sector of industry uses more materials and energy, produces more waste and contributes less to material recycling than the building industry. For quite some time now, these themes have also dominated international public discussions and the process of forming political opinion. There are many reasons for this: some materials are becoming scarce and consequently more expensive, others have undesirable effects on the environment and users, and yet others fail to live up to people´s expectations in the long term. This applies just as much to conventional energy sources.
