Abstract :
For the high percentage of the end-energy consumed in the building sector, different energy directives and codes of buildings have been laid down and energy standards for buildings have been classified in Germany. Ecological trends for buildings including energy efficiency, ecologic and economic sustainability as well as socially and environmentally-sound environments are gaining momentum. The Energon office building is introduced as a best practice case.
