Abstract

It is generally known that a man causes changes in the environment and thus many of these changes affect the relationship between man and his environment. Additionally, population increase and urban concentration directly contribute to pollution and degradation of the environment. Considering that building construction alone represents the largest segment of energy consumption in EU (over 40%), it is logical that it has aroused the interest of scientific and professional community in terms of finding new technologies for increasing building energy efficiency and applying renewable energy sources. Satisfaction of energy demand of a country depends not only on the available energy and economic resources, but also on economic-political and energy conditions in general environment.
