General model for energetic and environmental analysis of a process from the construction materials sector

摘要

Reducing energy consumption and complying with environmental norms has become an important part of development strategies of industrial companies in the recent years. Within the construction materials industrial sector the main objectives that should be fulfilled are the following: reducing consumption of raw materials, reducing energy consumption and reducing environmental pollution and waste generation. Thus, there is a great interest in improving existing technologies from the energy and environmental points of view. The paper aims at analyzing ways of improving these technologies. The authors present a general model for energy and environmental analysis of a process from the construction materials sector aiming at establishing a plan of measures for increasing energy efficiency and reducing environmental pollution.
