Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the first public school complex in Wroclaw, Poland to use renewable energy sources with an introductory summary of low emissions constructions in Poland. Described is the process of the building’s delivery and a preliminary evaluation of selected design solutions. The building, completed in the year 2009, is planned for an in-depth POE to start this year – the first such broad evaluation project to be carried out in Poland. An in depth knowledge of the design and construction process, measurements taken already, feedback from the occupants, and tracks of all faults reported so far, allow a preliminary evaluation of the building’s environmental performance. A comparison of total energy consumption and CO2 emissions between the analyzed building and two other selected schools from Wroclaw is included. It is based on energy bills for all fuel sources used. It indicates energy efficiency of the building and relatively high CO2 emissions due to its sole dependence on electricity.
