A correct proposal of construction detail of buildings that lying on the soil is one of the steps that contribute to reducing energy requirements for heating and operation of building. At the same time increase the quality of the indoor environment as well as performance at work. In the construction of the lower structure, the most delicate point is the contact of walls, foundations and floor structure with the soil and subsoil, this frequently leads to inconsistent solutions of the design detail, resulting in the formation of thermal bridges with subsequent condensation VL - 2014 IS - Civil Engineering Issue 3-B (8) 2014 PY - 2014 SN - 0011-4561 C1 - 2353-737X SP - 425 EP - 432 DO - 10.4467/2353737XCT.14.264.3352 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/energy-efficient-buildings-lower-structure KW - buildings on the terrain KW - building construction KW - ground floor KW - thermal insulation
