Energy Saving Potential in the Field of Residential Buildings in Rural Area in Romania

摘要

Sustainable development of the Romanian economy is based on general objectives which have in view to create a functional market economy, compatible with the principles, mechanisms, institutions and policy of the European Union, with respect to all social and economic sub-systems, including agriculture and rural area. In these strategic objectives achievement, the sustainable development plays an important role, having in view the energy consumption decreasing and promotion of energy efficiency measures. We can’t speak about sustainable development in any field, without taking into consideration the energy consumption, the energy resources preservation and the environmental protection. The paper deals with residential sector in Romania, which is the second energy consumer of the economy. It emphasizes the energy consumptions in rural area. The presumed evolution of the energy savings in the rural area, the necessary investment funds for the application of the energy efficiency measures and the resulted greenhouse gas emissions reduction for 2010–2020 periods are estimated.
