Increasing user comfort of housing facilities blocks of flats in the Czech republic

Abstract

An essential requirement of these days in the Czech Republic is to increase sustainability of new and existing buildings and increase the benefits of their future use. This applies especially to the houses and flats, where the demand for user comfort and spatial efficiency is rising. User comfort and efficiency have so far been dealt with first of all with focus on the flat alone, whereas the other areas of blocks of flats were neglected. The concept of a building should always be a natural response to the needs of the users, who however change their needs during the course of time. Therefore this article focuses on the facilities in blocks of flats and their influence on the overall user comfort.
