This paper demonstrates the role early building performance and cost evaluation could play in delivering affordable and energy efficient homes through evaluation of housing typologies against the UK policy set benchmark for assessing new built and zero carbon housing. Extensive reviews of various methods and techniques have been followed for pre-design evaluation, building performance simulation and cost estimation.

The aim of this study is to give an overview on the relation of health tourism and the sensible natural environment of the famous Hungarian spa resort, Hévíz. Through examples, the authors show the risks threatening Hungary’s famous spa towns and what actions and measures should be carried out to preserve and maintain these valuable natural resources. The possible ways to release the increasing environmental pressure of tourism is also presented.

The authors in this article combine their different research backgrounds in geography and fine art to discuss and analyse the damage caused by the textile industry to the living environment. The first part of the paper gives an insight to the geography of textile production in selected Asian countries. The authors then go into specifics on how a textile production can have multiple processes, all in which include their own damaging effects to the environment.

This paper analyses whether the economic growth has a direct effect on the environment. It is particularly focusing on the BRICS countries and gives an overview on sustainable development and consumption, attempts to suggest a literature review on the correlations between the economy and the environment in the these countries, and addresses the environmental effects of economic development on the basis of different statistics.

This article investigates the environmental impact of urban cohousing communities. Pro-environmental characteristics that reduce the negative environmental impact of cohousing communities are also examined. The article also explores the factors and processes these pro-environmental characteristics are created by. Many of these are derived from examples of working cohousing communities in Denmark and Austria.

Presently, a hot debate is taking place in Hungary and Poland about the use of biomass for electricity generation in existing coal power stations. The arguments are of technological, logistic and foremost of economic nature. The aim of this paper is to set two ways of biomass power generation against each other by analysing the biomass sectors of the two countries mentioned above.
