Applicability of 4E Building Assessment

In this diploma thesis, he summarised his experience gained through 12 years of work as a certified passive house construction consultant. During this time, he prepared energy and ecological balances of buildings and optimisations based on economic efficiency and other client criteria. Over the years, he developed an engineering service which I call 4E building assessment. These were solved according to the rules of project management with the result that they became familiar with different topics and at the same time wrote their own project or diploma thesis faster and better. From practice, we are familiar with problems of exceeding the investor's budget due to inadequate management of the investment project and uncontrolled design in the planning phase.

Problem

In this diploma thesis, he summarised his experience gained through 12 years of work as a certified passive house construction consultant. During this time, he prepared energy and ecological balances of buildings and optimisations based on economic efficiency and other client criteria.

Solution and Method

Over the years, he developed an engineering service which I call 4E building assessment. Here I present the service and analyse its applicability in the field or in the building design phase. The assessment of Energy, Economic and Ecological efficiency and the criteria of the Essence of the building represents an additional service (and additional cost) in house design.

This is even required by the legislator when it comes to public buildings or complex construction projects, but not when it comes to less complex single and two-dwelling houses. Did the legislator act irresponsibly when adopting legislation? The umbrella theme of the 19/20 generation in the civil engineering study programme at Academia Institute of Technology Maribor was: "The Potential of Modern Construction Methods for Continuous Transformation of the Industry".

The topic certainly includes content on familiarisation and training in the field of project management and early interdisciplinary building design, when it is not yet too late. Writing the diploma thesis was the first opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired through study, so the future graduates divided themselves into project groups and distributed tasks within individual groups.

Results

These were solved according to the rules of project management with the result that they became familiar with different topics and at the same time wrote their own project or diploma thesis faster and better. From practice, we are familiar with problems of exceeding the investor's budget due to inadequate management of the investment project and uncontrolled design in the planning phase. I justify the applicability of the 4E assessment presented in this diploma thesis with examples from practice, where he clearly presented the possibility of calculating variants of the planned building and the method of mutual comparison of results.

This can be scored and the collected points presented in a manner understandable to a layperson and in the form of an aid for making a decision on the most appropriate implementation of the house.
