Dřevostavba v pasivním standardu – řešení snižování emisí CO2 v bytovém sektoru?

Housing sector in European union consumes around 40% of primary energy and is responsible for huge amount of carbon dioxide emitted in process of producing energy. Passive houses as a new technology of housing does not need much energy during it 's functioning and hence European parliament decided for this technology as most suitable device to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in housing sector. In order to achieve this objective of reducing human influence on climate change, all new buildings to be build in member states after 2019 has to be in net-zero energy standard. Nevertheless there are not many passive houses in Europe and even less net-zero energy houses can be found there. Investment costs of passive houses are higher than investment costs of classical house. That is the reason why the demand for passive houses is artificially upkeeped thanks to government's subsidies. Transformation of construction market towards new building just in passive standard is estimated to cost European union yearly around 50 - 120 billion euro. Therefore the aim of thesis is to explain and evaluate factors which led to evolution of this passive house technology in housing sector; to analyze environmental, economical gains and losses of passive houses and to find out if timber wood house buildings in passive standard are better solution to climate change problem.
