As a result, the role of the energy component in building life is increasingly important, meeting the growing needs of the users eager to discover the new technological trends.
Now, it is jointly accepted by the architects and construction companies, that energy conservation should be paid a great attention by trying to implement solutions that make use of natural light, solar energy and natural ventilation, benefitting of their minimal impact on the environment.
This article tries to bring confront the architectural components and energy resources through technologies that have this “conscience” protection of the environment.
