Buildings were recognized as large energy consumers, and they represent great potential for energy savings through the implementation of a wide range of measures for improving of energy efficiency. Through numerous directives and procedures that have been adopted over the past 30 years, the building sector is committed to the use of renewable energy sources. Among the solutions to the global energy problem, as well as the problem of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily CO2, which directly affect global warming, the use of solar energy is one of the most acceptable environmental solutions. In the recent years, a new aspect of the application of solar systems in the construction sector has been developed - their integration into the building envelope. This paper presents an overview of the latest research related to solar thermal systems integrated into the building envelope. The current status in the field of technology of solar thermal systems integrated into the building envelope is presented in paper. Different types of these systems that can be integrated into the building envelope are described, and their basic performance is presented. Possible applications of solar thermal collectors in different parts of the building envelope (facade, roof, overhangs, balcony) are also described and presented. By applying these systems, it is possible to significantly influence to the reduction of energy consumption in the building sector, as well as environmental pollution by reducing CO2 emissions.

“…Interest in such solutions to contribute to the production of energy for heating, cooling and DHW purposes has likewise been assessed [34]. Although some standardization for BISTS is suggested [35] the level of application of solar façades is yet to become a widely implemented standard solution.…”

“…However, they concluded, there exists opportunities to further improve the system performance and increase its reliability and efficiency. Aelenei et al [13] have reported on systematic characterization of solar thermal systems installed in buildings. The authors have stated that apart from their energy performance characterization, additional criteria for assessing these systems should include structural, functional and aesthetical aspects.…”

The necessity to cope with the global threats of climate change has increased our concern on the energy sources used increasing the share of renewable energies and shifting from fossil fuels to benign energy sources. European Union through various directives aims at increasing sustainability in buildings reducing their energy consumption, fossil fuels use and carbon emissions. In this context, the use of renewable energies covering all the energy needs and zeroing the carbon footprint in a residential building located in northern Greece has been investigated. Use of locally available sustainable energies including solar energy, solid biomass and waste heat rejected from power plants has been proposed for covering all the energy needs in a house. Their technologies for heat and power generation are mature, reliable and cost effective. Results have indicated that the combined use of the abovementioned sustainable energies can cover all the energy needs in the building, zeroing its carbon emissions due to operating energy use. The investment cost for a house at 150 m 2 varies between 6200 € to 10,700 € or 41.33 to 71.33 € per m 2 of the building covered surface, which is relatively low compared with its construction cost. Therefore, the creation of zero CO 2 emissions residential buildings due to energy use in northern Greece is technically and economically feasible.
