Energy potentials of military buildings

The economic crisis, extremely large budgets for providing necessary energy and the adopted legislation in the field of energy impose the necessity of finding and implementing positive solutions in order to achieve a proper and desirable degree of energy efficiency. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the prescribed legislation in the field of energy - energy efficiency as well as the analysis of the reports on problems in construction engineering and projects used to solve energy problems in buildings. To obtain preliminary data of the financial effects of the implementation of positive solutions for improving the energy efficiency of buildings, a non-professional software package was used and the results obtained were within the framework of the national average for buildings of the same age. The structural characteristics of a building in question and its geographical location point to its specific potential for using renewable energy sources. The paper has shown that there is a legal obligation for the energy retrofit of a building used by the Army of Serbia as well as preliminary economic effects of the energy retrofit project realization and utilization of renewable energy sources.
