Heritage historic buildings are often wasteful in terms of energy efficiency. Changing their energy supply, load and consumption is particularly challenging given that heritage needs protection and interventions on the building architecture are limited. From the point of view of the renewable energy sources integration in historical buildings, the aesthetic aspects are very important and due to this reason, modern systems can be ruled out. However, the energy efficiency challenges imposed by today's society can be...

Unconventional energy sources have gained and will continue to gain a growing share of energy systems around the world, both because of the research effort and the political will involved in their development, and because of the price increase of energy obtained through traditional methods. In order to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the international energy transition process, Romania must undertake new directions for development in the energy sector. Conventional energy sources based on oil, coal ...

The buildings and services sector accounts for about 40% of total EU energy consumption, in particular residential heating accounting for 78% of this consumption. Increasing the energy performances of buildings, together with the effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and, implicitly, climate change are the main directions of intervention of worldwide energy strategies. In the context of a process of global energy transition, Romania - as a member of the European Union, also is engaged in a policy of changing...
