TY - JOUR TI - Striving for spatial energy efficiency in dwelling complexes AU - Kurek, Julia AU - Martyniuk-Pęczek, Justyna TI - Striving for spatial energy efficiency in dwelling complexes AB - The main aim of this article was to discover the key characteristics in shaping most rewarded eco-district complexes built respectively in temperate climate zone in respect to spatial energy efficiency and resilience principles. It was done through careful case studies, comparative analysis and juxtaposition of critical parameters related to spatial energy efficiency and resilience in chosen representative dwelling complexes. Due to the complexity and multitude instances of ecological dwelling complexes it was decided to set bounds to the defined criteria. The investigated examples were limited to following restrictions as location in moderate climate zone, implementing the pro-environmental solutions in accordance world-known energy and environmental assessment certifications. As a result, a reliable juxtaposition of design trends in temperate climate zone was provided, which was induced by the key spatial energy efficiency parameters. Furthermore, the remarks and future framework guidelines were made, concerning main fields of potential improvements in terms of spatial energy efficiency and resilience.
