John Vourdoubas*Global climate change has increased the interest and the efforts in using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels in all sectors of the economy
Various reports regarding the use of renewable energy technologies in buildings have been published and a lot of research has been implemented in this field
The authors stated that district heating satisfies about 60% of the heat demand in Swedish buildings while biomass alone accounts for about the half of the
Summary
Global climate change has increased the interest and the efforts in using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels in all sectors of the economy. Use of benign energy sources in buildings is easier than in industry and in transport. Renewable energies like solar energy, solid biomass and low enthalpy geothermal energy, if available, are currently used in buildings for generation of heat, cooling and electricity covering part or all of their energy needs. Due to technological improvements various renewable energy technologies are currently reliable and cost effective. Their combined use could result in the creation of net zero energy buildings and net zero carbon emission buildings due to energy use
