ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Abstract

This paper meets the needs of the provisions of Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings which sets targets to stimulate the development of energy efficient buildings. The package "Energy - Climate Change", sets for 2020 emissions reduction of greenhouse gases in the EU by at least 20% compared to 1990 and increase to 20% the share of renewable energy in total EU energy consumption. This paper presents some tests, on an experimental stand at a small scale, onenergy production from renewable resources. The results from experiments can be extended and applied to buildings in order to increase their efficiency, reduce gas emissions and to reach the provisions of Directive 2010/31/EU.
