- Abstract
- Swiss research on heating energy conservation in buildings is presented to encourage communication among researchers. A background on Switzerland's climate, geography, construction industry, and energy situation is included to provide a context for the subsequent review of a sample of research projects. Each project is described with a statement of research objectives, technical approach taken, project status, brief findings, future work planned or recommended, and resulting publications. The sample of projects is taken from the subjects of community scale solar concepts, mathematical simulation, instrumented test cabins, instrumented buildings, and design tools and data bases.
