Energy efficiency in the Romanian residential building stock: A literature review

Abstract: The building sector in Romania is dominated by residential buildings that are old and have poor thermal performance. As a member of the European Union, Romania has to reach the objectives imposed by the Directive 2009/28/EC and to fulfill the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) by year 2020. The implementation of these concepts in Romania consists into thermal rehabilitation of the existing buildings, applying the latest thermal performance characteristics in new buildings and … Show more

“…In Southern countries of Europe, there is a very slow advancement regarding the NZEB goal for 2020. In the case of Romania and Portugal, both countries have problems such as (1) a lack of professional knowledge about the design and construction of NZEBs, (2) a lack of local construction materials to reach a high standard, and (3) a lack of locally manufactured HVAC equipment which allows for high energy performance [7][8][9]. The user's behavior and the low purchase power mean that potential NZEB occupants prefer passive solutions rather than ones which demand high-tech equipment.…”

“…For example, studies analyzed social housing associations that offer a unique opportunity for renewable energy through the implementation and reduction of social costs for tenants [41]. In this sense, the authors explained how old residential buildings dominated by Romania's construction sector, and it must get guidelines imposed by the European Union by the year 2020 [42]. Likewise, authors such as Thøgersen (2017) propose a new instrument to measure the lifestyle of the inhabitants of the house and energy savings.…”
