  • Abstract
    Today, given the population growth in the world, we witness development of industry sector, particularly building construction industry, so as on the one side, we are confronted with fuel consumption increase and consequently uncontrolled production of buildings´ environmental contaminators and on the other side, non-observance of the standards and non-insulation of many buildings as well as increase of fuel consumption caused by technical defects of buildings and household appliances have worsened the current situation. For this reason, in recent decades, researchers have succeeded in solving lots of the existing problems by means of solar energy and achieving desirable results. In this study, constituents such as non-production of greenhouse gasses, reduction of conventional consumed fuels, environment friendliness, use of safe and pure energy can be considered the reason to justify application of solar energy in building construction industry (Solar buildings).
