Residential buildings are important, integral part of the environment and play a significant role in “urban metabolism”, where energy and water are consumed and waste are produced. The article divided on two sections. Main focus on the first part on an analysis of the structure of energy consumption in polish households, potential of renewable energy sources and existing technologies that can be used in based on green primary energy sources.
