Abstract

In this chapter, we present an overview of the four case studies. We investigated the design, construction and operation aspects related to the four projects and their pre-set performance targets. This chapter is the foundation for our building energy modelling and life cycle assessment of the four case studies. Through walkthrough visits and interviews with different stakeholders we summarize the main characteristics of those projects before presenting the performance comparison and qualification results in Chap. 7.
