Abstract:In order to meet the EU Green Deal requirements, the thermal envelope of a modern energy-efficient building must be “wrapped” all around the building with no thermal bridges. This chapter describes the most important structural details and their effects on energy consumption and seismic resistance of the building as a whole. Those details where the energy efficiency might be inversely proportional to its earthquake resistance, are further explored and analysed.
