In order to overcome the increasing concern of today's resource
depletion, environmental considerations and to address
sustainability indicators, a practical life cycle method has been
proposed. The findings of this book state that the appropriate
combination of building materials, improvement in behaviours and
patterns of cultural consumption, and the application of government
codes would enhance decision-making in the residential building
sector towards sustainability. The difference in consumption in
Colombia and Spanish dwellings is not only due to the variation in
results for bio- climatic differences but also because of the
consumption habits in each country. The importance of consumption
habits of citizens and the need to decouple socio-economic
development from energy consumption are sought for achieving
sustainability from a life cycle perspective. There is a crucial
necessity to provide satisfaction to basic needs and comfort
requirements of population with reasonable and sustainable energy
consumption.
