Reducing the energy consumption through friendly sun buildings in Jiu Valley region

Abstract

The work highlights the possibility of reducing electricity consumption by building homes, offices, production spaces, etc., by placing them in such a way that the sunlight is used instead of artificial light. The placement of constructions in the Jiu Valley in order to benefit from the sunlight from sunrise to sunset is more difficult due to the depression and the height of the mountains that surround the region. A monitoring of the incidence of sunlight over a period of time can generate economic aspects by reducing the consumption of electricity, consumed by the maintenance of artificial lighting. This can also play an important role in combating climate change and promoting sustainable development.
