What is Energy Balance Method

Chapter 10
Retrofitting for Optimal Energy Performance
Energy balance methods enable the optimization of the building under the given economic conditions. The energy flows for the building to be calculated are determined using this method. These energy flows can be determined daily, weekly, monthly and annually. Depending on the location of the building, additional meteorological data are included in the calculations

Abstract
The chapter deals with the green energetic consideration of today's building envelopes for residential and non-residential buildings. It investigates the energetic effects the envelopes have on energy efficiency, energy consumption, material use, sustainable use of resources, lifetime considerations, economic and ecological impact. Today's it is estimated that approximately 30% of the annual primary energy demand for residential and non-residential buildings is needed. Energy resources for heat, electricity, air conditioning and cooling purposes, fossil fuels in form of gas and liquid are predominantly used.
