Optimization of energy consumption and cost effectiveness of modular buildings by using renewable energy sources [PDF]
Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2015 Problems of the temporary structures are generally dealt with by the use of modular buildings. These actually meet the terms of low costs, as appose to the terms of convenience of use, or energy efficiency in operation.
