Definitions and quotes

Atmosphere
An atmosphere (from Greek ἀτμός (atmos), meaning 'vapour', and σφαῖρα (sphaira), meaning 'sphere') is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body. An atmosphere is more likely to be retained if the gravity it is subject to is high and the temperature of the atmosphere is low.
An EU-funded project is working to develop sustainable refurbishment solutions for residential buildings. Its energy-efficient retrofit approach takes into account different building types, climates and socioeconomic conditions.
