In our days, energy issues belong to the most important problems facing the Earth and the solution may be expected partly from decreasing the amount of the energy used and partly from the increased utilisation of renewable energy resources. A substantial part of energy consumption is related to buildings and includes, inter alia, the use for cooling/heating, lighting and cooking purposes. In the view of the above, special attention has been paid to minimising the energy consumption of buildings since the late 1980s. Within the framework of that, the passive house was created, a building in which the thermal comfort can be achieved solely by postheating or postcooling of the fresh air mass without a need for recirculated air.The aim of the paper is to study the changes in the construction of passive houses over time. In addition, the differences between the geographical locations and the observable peculiarities with regard to the individual building types are also presented.

“…The CO 2 emission intensity at coal thermal power plant in India was estimated as 1.568 kg/kW h of electrical energy generated as reported by Chel and Tiwari [24,25]. The mitigation of CO 2 emission from the actual amount of lighting energy saving potential due to skylight can be determined using the relation reported by Chel and Tiwari [24,25] as follows:…”

“…The objective of paper is to introduce the importance of daylighting in building using actual measured data in India especially in New Delhi city and validation of daylight factor model. The research pertaining to thermal performance of mud-house integrated with an earth to air heat exchanger, its economics and embodied energy analysis of the building were, respectively, reported by Chel and Tiwari [24,25]. This building is a promising example of sustainable and low carbon building (or green building) which is integrated with stand-alone photovoltaic power system, a heating/cooling arrangement using an earth to air heat exchanger and natural daylighting for artificial lighting energy conservation during daytime.…”

“…In addition to energy savings at the production stage, unbaked earth buildings also require less heating and cooling, as the earth walls ensure a substantial reduction in heat loss and a general feeling of what is called 'thermal comfort' (Agarwal, 1981;Chel and Tiwar, 2009;Evans, 1980;Fathy, 1986;Hyland, 1984;Morton et al, 2005;Parra-Saldivar and Batty, 2006;Shukla et al, 2009). …”

In the south of Algeria, many indigenous settlements have been built using local earth construction techniques; in the north, despite the availability of suitable earth, only a few rural contemporary settlements have been built using ‘improved’ earth construction. This paper adopts a case study approach to examine and compare structural deficiencies of two earth-built housing settlements in different regions in Algeria. In the indigenous earth settlement in the south, where adobe was used in combination with local timber and stones, the dwellings exhibit many structural defects. Stabilisation of the soil and introduction of modern materials in the contemporary rammed earth settlement in the north has not, however, helped produce structurally adequate dwellings. These dwellings also exhibited many cracks and debonding of rendering, and thus did not fulfil the requirements and aspirations of their occupants. The study concludes that for a potentially successful earth building scheme there are inter-related factors that should be considered: selection of an appropriate soil and construction technique, implementation of a suitable structural design, construction and post-completion processes, availability of relevant skills and provision of adequate training on the construction technique.
