The climate change, pollution of the environment and decrease of the fossil fuels have caused an intense desire to reduce the energy consumption of the building sector in the European Union. Adapting to constantly tightening regulations and requirements, and competence to apply nontraditional HVAC system solutions are important parts of modem energy design that aims to sustainable environment. This study addresses the current and future situation in legislation concerning energy usage in buildings. Modern techniques to reduce energy consumption in office buildings are also studied. Examination of the legislation is limited to the level of the European Union and Finland's national legislation. An extensive literature review was carried...
