The potential impact of low thermal transmittance construction on the European design guidelines of residential buildings

European countries impose regulations for low thermal transmittance envelopes to improve the buildings' energy efficiency. However, in scientific literature, evidences are surfacing that such low U-values are affecting the validity of traditional design guidelines. The purpose of this paper is...
