摘要：家具最早出现在人类生活中时,是作为提高生活效率的"器具"使用的,它具备基础的功能性,外型和整体架构都十分简单。随着人类社会的不断演变,家具的存在早已被附上一层又一层的定义,设计师们的想象力通过家具的外型得以展现;而它的内部结构,成为展示制造工艺的最好平台;它的质感与视觉效果,通过材料的异同展现出不一样的姿态。荷兰设计师Oato所设计的Stuck

摘要：The European Directive 2010/31 claims that by 2020 only (nearly-) ZEB (zero-energy-buildings) may be built. To reach this goal, it is pertinent for buildings to be energetically optimized first. The remaining energy demand must then be covered by on-site renewable energies (PV, geothermal, etc.). With the area of use (energy demand) and the size of the building envelope/estate (renewable energy supply) in competition with each other, the maximum number of building stories will be most likely limited. For 15 different climatic locations worldwide, the energy demand of optimised office rooms has been simulated and compared with the possible renewable energy production on site. For every location, a good correlation has been found between the simulated energy demand and data like heating and cooling degree hours. Correspondent linear equations are given here. As another result, the maximum numbers of possible stories for ZEBS have been derived, being between 3 and 10 depending on the location.
