Abstract text:
Due to the fact that the use and maintenance of buildings, in our country, absorbs about 40% of the entire energy consumption from primary sources it is important to consider this sector into the context of sustainable development. The sustainable development requires rethinking of the architectural concepts for the building in this regard. If the use of solar energy means that significantly less fossil fuel will be consumed, solar systems must be readily adaptable to existing buildings as well as new buildings. The paper presents some constructive solutions for building envelope, involving solar wall passive system, based on greenhouse effect, which was studied at the Civil and Industrial Buildings Department of our Faculty. Some passive system solutions were tested under real working conditions, through test-cells. In particular, paper reports the most meaningful aspects connected to the application of the system.
