“…As confirmed by the recent studies [39,40] that were carried out in RB in Belgrade, Serbia, it is important to rationalize the energy consumption by upgrading the thermal performance of façades for improving the energy efficiency. All alternative solutions could be tested using modern software packages [41] in order to optimize the solutions for façade, both from the financial aspect and the aspect of thermal energy loss.…”

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the thermal properties of existing residential buildings built in industrial manner in Novi Sad, Serbia, from 1960 to 1990 based on building typology. Each of three analyzed building types has its characteristic façade, with thermal performances divided into periods according to the development of domestic thermal protection building codes. The necessary layer of subsequent insulation is determined by calculations in order to comply with European standards, also applied in Serbia from 2012. The proposed method of periodization simplifies the process of thermal performance assessment and it was checked through the case studies. Evaluation of energy consumption rationalization has been done through comparative analysis of energy losses. Based on the most common energy rehabilitation measures applied in Serbia, it was estimated that it was possible to reduce the energy losses in heating up to 60%.

“…Better energy efficiency helps achieving cleaner environment, higher living standard, more reliable energy supply and more competitive businesses. An important step towards the implementation of well organized set of measures to enhance energy efficiency in buildings is determination of the state-of-the-art of energy efficiency, represented through specific energy indicators [4]. The aim of the work [5] was to analyze and explore the most suitable energy policy instruments for energy efficiency improvement in particular country (Serbia).…”

The present work deals with an optimization model for selection of optimal heating structure in urban areas also considering the environmental aspects. The optimization model was established in order to facilitate the decision making during selection phase of heat sources locations and defining the boundaries of their action at the pre-design phase of heat supply schemes development of settlements. Within the model is performed comparative analysis between ten heating systems, whereas as leading criteria in the comparison procedure are considered heat load density per unit of area, techno-economic aspects, and environmental impact. The optimization result actually defines the optimal heating system type in regard of the heat load density per unit area. The model provides possibility in defining standard values of heat density indicators, according to which can be assessed the economic feasibility of implementing district heating system for the selected urban area. The less value of heat density in the system, the higher specific costs for generation, distribution, and transmission of heat energy. Furthermore, the model is applied and verified for the local urban, infrastructural, technical and environmental conditions of the city of Skopje. The process of determination of optimal heating structure has holistic approach, where, beside technoeconomic aspects and feasibility, the environmental aspect of different heating systems is considered as a major factor (threat) in air pollution.

“…Architectural objects consume 32% of the total final energy, while the share of primary energy consumption is 40%, which exceeded energy consumption in other major sectors: industrial and transportation [2]. During the last two decades primary energy input has grown by 49% and CO 2 emissions by 43% [3], which is also the averaged value for the city of --------------Nis [4]. In year 2010, in countries of the EU ( fig.…”

Buildings are one of the biggest energy consumers in urban environments, so its efficient use represents a constant challenge. In public objects and households, a large part of the energy is used for heating and cooling. The orientation of the object, as well as the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of transparent and non-transparent parts of the envelope, can have a significant impact on building energy needs. In this paper, analysis of the influence of different orientations, U-values of envelope elements, and size of windows on annual heating and cooling energy for an office building in city of Nis, Serbia, is presented. Model of the building was made in the Google SketchUp software, while the results of energy performance were obtained using EnergyPlus and jEplus, taking into account the parameters of thermal comfort and climatic data for the area of city of Nis. Obtained results showed that, for varied parameters, the maximum difference in annual heating energy is 15129.4 kWh, i. e per m 2 27.75 kWh/m 2 , while the maximum difference in annual cooling energy is 14356.1 kWh, i. e per m 2 26.33 kWh/m 2. Considering that differences in energy consumption are significant, analysis of these parameters in the early stage of design process can affect on increase of building energy efficiency.
