The program part "encyclopaedia" includes two sections: A "glossary" compiles about 100 relevant key words which refer to the technical terms of building physics, solar energy application and energy technologies.
The section "key topics" is a collection of 15 chapters on important subjects, each summarizing the current state of the art and providing access to further reading by lists of references.

Encyclopaedia: Glossar The glossary of IDEA comprises about 100 terms with short relevant definitions and explanations concerning energy and passive and low energy solar architecture. |
Encyclopaedia: Key topics Key subjects of energy-efficient and solar building are summarized in fifteen chapters providing both, an introductory survey as well as references for further reading. |
IDEA is a collaborative project of several European universities and institutions with departments of architecture, civil engineering and building physics. This structure of the IDEA consortium enabled a multidisciplinary and multimedial approach to energy-efficient building: A well prepared collection of building examples together with calculation tools, databases and an encyclopaedia. There, main emphasis focuses on heating, as climates with less than three heating months have been excluded.
The IDEA software addresses professionals in architecture and civil engineering, students thereof as well as all institutions for energy consultancy and even interested layman.
