Abstract For a broader application of the life cycle of energy-efficient built
environment in the practice of various countries, more attention needs to be paid
not only on the selected most rational processes and solutions, the interest level of
the stakeholders, but also on the micro-, meso- and macro-level factors. The
authors of this article developed the life cycle of energy-efficient built environment
model and different decision support systems over the course of two international
projects (IDES-EDU and LEAN CC). Based on this model, professionals involved
in design and realization of life cycle of energy-efficient built environment can
develop a lot of the alternatives as well as assessing them and making the final
choice of the most efficient variant. The model and two systems (Energy Efficient
House DSS for cooling and decision support system for assessment of energy
generation technologies) are briefly described in this chapter.
