Abstract
This research paper examines the crucial role of the construction industry in the energy sector, particularly in shaping energy consumption and efficiency. The focus is on the industry's impact throughout the lifecycle of buildings, encompassing design, construction, maintenance, and demolition, with an emphasis on energy efficiency not only during construction but also during the operational phase. The paper highlights the European Commission's directives on building energy performance, aimed at reducing energy consumption through more energy-efficient and materially efficient buildings. The research advocates for a multi-criteria approach in construction, balancing environmental, economic, and functional considerations in building design and operation. It addresses the challenges and negative consequences of energy-saving measures, emphasizing the need for balanced and sustainable building practices. The paper underscores the construction industry's potential in reducing global energy consumption and the importance of legislative incentives for promoting energy-efficient buildings.
