First sentence: The construction and use of a building involves a requirement for primary energy which is considerably greater than the energy actually supplied to it in the form of fuels.
Description: Investigation of the energy costs and financial costs of building materials, structures and space heating, the detailed patterns of use of heating systems in dwellings, their interactions and their implications for design.
