Abstract

In the UK, buildings are responsible for 46% of all carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) emissions [20]. This figure is 40% in the USA and 27% in Australia [15]. Accordingly, the enhancement of energy efficiency of buildings has become an essential matter in order to reduce the amount of gas emission as well as fossil fuel consumption. An annual saving of 60 billion Euro is estimated as a result of the improvement of EU buildings energy performance by 20% [21].
