“…Renewable energy is one of the basic elements of sustainable development, as well as in the scope of protection and improvement of air quality [1][2][3][4][5]. In this context, the prevention of low-altitude emissions (with emitters not exceeding 40 m in height) is in line with trends in modern environmental management and thereby with trends in the sustainable regional development of various spatial units in urban and rural areas [6][7][8].…”

The process of transformation of the Polish economy, traditionally based on coal, into an economy that uses low-carbon technologies, faces a problem associated with the diversification of energy sources, especially in rural areas. The scale of the use of conventional energy carriers in households located in rural areas in Poland has a very negative impact on the natural environment. The aim of the paper is to indicate possibilities of reducing low-altitude emissions (with emitters not exceeding 40 m in height) in rural areas in Poland, through the development of renewable energy sources. This paper provides an overview of the specific character of rural areas in Poland and the development challenges faced in these areas in the investigated scope. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency, it is necessary to dynamize pro-ecological activities in agriculture and in rural areas, including the development of agricultural biogas plants, wind and photovoltaic farms. The use of renewable energy sources can be an important factor in the development and sustainable growth of rural areas in Poland.

“…Buildings are a main source of global energy consumption and CO 2 emissions; accounting for about 40% of global energy consumption [1,2] The international contribution to sustainability has generated a large number of publications in relevant journals and conferences over the last four decades [3] and has established a dire need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions [4][5][6] as these gases are potential causes of threats to the ecosystem such as global warming [7][8][9][10]. From the Kyoto protocol of 1997 to the Paris Agreement of 2015, various policy directions have been motivated to mitigate international environmental pollution.…”

“…At the building scale, the potential of on-site renewable energy generation to optimize energy demand and supply infrastructure has been investigated [13][14][15]. This provides an opportunity to address environmental pollution; which has frequently been linked with the rising level of nonrenewable energy consumption [5]. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) provides such an opportunity through clean micro-energy generation being adoptable to various building designs.…”

Technological advancement in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has converted the building façade into a renewable energy-based generator. The BIPV façade is designed to provide energy generation along with conventional design objectives such as aesthetics and environmental control. The challenge however, is that architectural design objectives sometimes conflict with energy performance, such as the provision of view and daylight versus maximum power output. In innovative cases, the characteristics of conventional BIPV façades have been modified by researchers to address such conflicts through customization as an emerging trend in BIPV façade design. Although extensive reviews exist on BIPV product types, design integration, adoption barriers and performance issues, research on BIPV customization has not been reviewed as a solution to BIPV adoption. This paper seeks to review the potential of BIPV façade customization as a means of enhancing BIPV adoption. The current paper identifies customization parameters ranging from the customization category, level, and strategies, and related architectural potential along with an assessment of their impact. The findings reflect that elemental and compositional level customization using combined customization strategies provide enhanced BIPV products. These products are well integrated for both energy generation and aesthetic applications with a power output increase of up to 80% in some cases. The paper concludes that a wide range of BIPV adoption barriers such as aesthetics, architectural integration, and performance can be overcome by appropriate BIPV customization.

“…These factors caused that the energy resources in the form of nonrenewable resources started to decrease, making it necessary to search for alternative sources (Hodana et al, 2012). Another important problem related to the exploitation of natural resources is the progressing degradation of the natural environment, affecting the proper functioning of the population (Adewuyi and Awodumi, 2017).…”

Abstract. The aim of the study was to determine the attitude of Polish society towards renewable energy sources and identify the benefits posed by actions that use renewable energy sources. A method of diagnostic survey was applied, conducting the study on the representative sample of 1067 respondents. The Statistica 10.1 GB program and the analysis of discriminant function were used in statistical analysis. It was shown that paying conscious attention to saving energy was the most important declaration of Polish society as the best way to save electricity. Polish citizens declared the use of energy-efficient sources of electricity, and in their opinion the greatest chance of use within the renewable energy sources had solar energy. In the opinion of Polish society, the greatest barrier to use the renewable energy sources is the lack of mechanisms supporting the reduction of energy intensity of the economy and the lack of policy coherence for sustainable development in terms of air protection. Additionally, the most important type of support that would encourage investing in the renewable energy sources is to raise funds from the ecological funds and European Union funds. The acquisition of renewable energy sources is highly influenced by the energy policy pursued by individual European Union countries, and the energy future depends on the political will and the capacity of societies to implement appropriate technologies.
