The subject of the study is architectural and space-planning structure of the buildings and residential complexes, methods for their adaptation perspective to the post-Olympic period. Sustainable and effective development requires taking into account the possible future use and the economic principles, methods and means of architectural formation for the buildings in residential part of the international sport activities centers. Formation principles of architecture, green design, accessible and energy saving plan...

The case study analyzed in the paper refers to a group of new buildings built near the campus of the University Politehnica of Bucharest. The University?s campus has its own cogeneration power plant equipped with two reciprocating engines using natural gas. Each engine generates 800 kWe of electricity for University?s own consumption and for selling it on electricity market. During the winter time the heat recovered from the two engines, is used within the district heating network of the University?s campus. Durin...

The global level of urbanization is growing. Some estimates indicate that till 2030 the degree of urbanization will reach 83% in economically developed countries. In this context, large urban areas are already facing with problems due to water and air pollution, noise pollution, forming "heat islands?, energy consumption, overload of rainwater collection systems and human health degradation. In this paper are presented the benefits of green roofs and the contribution they play in solving problems in urban areas. I...

The paper analysis the influence of indoor temperature in case of a 2-room?s apartment built in the years 1975-1985, upon the thermal heating energy consumption. Thus, the thermal energy consumption is determined considering the thermal insulation measurements of the buildings elements taking in account a variation of the indoor temperature from 20?C until 24?C, according to the Romanian calculus methodology. The resulted values are compared with the experimental measurements realized for a 2 rooms apartment with ...
