Increasing passive houses performances by using ecological structures

Abstract

Energy and diminishing pollution level are the two priorities in European and national strategies. Within the framework of energetic and climatic strategies of European Union the building structure energetics constitutes a priority. The increase of energetic efficiency, the use of renewable sources of energy and diminishing the greenhouse effect emissions represent a national priority in Romania too. In this respect, a decisive role is played by energetically efficient buildings. The present paper focuses on passive buildings with special emphasis on increasing energetic efficiency of their enveloping and the ecological characteristics of their structures.
