Abstract
Modern laboratory buildings for research institutes have to live up to energy demands of our times. Energy efficient buildings with good facility management can achieve significant savings in runningcosts and are more convenient to use. In view of increasing global energy consumption (Image 1) and the growing exploitation of fossil fuel resources it must be a public priority to plan energy efficient buildings and to use renewable energy.
