From a sustainable construction perspective, there is no "ideal" building. The characteristics of an energy-efficient home vary according to the climate, the building's size, its function or spatial organization for example.

The flash animation below shows a cross-section of a typical apartment block (communal housing, located in a country with a temperate climate using traditional construction methods).
