AB  - As one of the aspects of sustainable architecture, the energy efficiency of buildings has largely come to life and has found its practical application in modern construction practice. Active action towards the achievement of the adequate energy performance of buildings implies the creation of appropriate regulations, providing basic guidelines for securing energy efficiency in the design and construction of buildings. In that sense, with a dozen years of delay in relation to the introduction of the EPBD, Serbia has adopted its legal regulations regarding energy efficiency in buildings, being in force since 2012. Respecting the basic guidelines of the original directive, the regulations in Serbia were the subject of major changes in relation to the previous ones, making a major shift in the boundaries of the relevant parameters and the basic methodology of calculating the energy performance of buildings. However, in practice, it has been shown that some of the factors that are important for the design and energy behaviour of the buildings have been treated inadequately. This particularly refers to the problem of thermal bridges, whose impact on the overall energy performance of the buildings is too simplified. Consequently, depending on the complexity of the building, the prescribed calculation methodology often yields significantly fewer energy needs than they actually are. By taking the view that the influence of thermal bridges, regardless of their type and character, is treated as an arbitrary magnification of surface transmission loss in the function of magnifying the surface of the thermal envelope, the real impact of both linear and point heat losses is neglected. While the issue of an adequate calculation of linear losses is directly related to the way of designing the building, that is, to the conception of details, the question of the impact of point losses is a consequence of the structure of thermal envelope elements. The paper presents two types of critical cases of thermal bridges: the treatment of linear thermal bridges for which research has shown that their influence can significantly exceed those envisaged by the current rulebook, and the influence of point heat bridges, as seen in the specific case of ventilated façades in which this problem is present.

AB  - Traditional rural houses are one of the most endangered forms of cultural and built heritage in Serbia today. In the past, the building of rural houses was in interaction with nature and the conditions of the immediate environment, especially in terms of its climatic and geographic properties. Today, they are often abandoned to decay, or replaced with new buildings, removing any connection with tradition. Problems related to their protection and regeneration to a great extent could be connected either with the properties of the original materials used for their construction, since they are usually not very durable, or with the level of how comfortable they are, which falls below modern living standards. Through a review of types and methods of building of the so-called half-timbered (bondruk) style houses, as well as an analysis of their achieved thermal performances and potentials, this paper strives to point out the real need for their modernisation and optimal possibilities for their energy improvement, with respect to the need for the protection of their integrity and authenticity during the renovation process.

AB  - Neighbour noise is a significant problem having had insufficient attention for decades, both for existing housing and new housing. Time had come to solve the challenges by establishing a common framework in building acoustics throughout Europe. As a consequence, the research network, COST Action TU0901 “Integrating and Harmonizing Sound Insulation Aspects in Sustainable Urban Housing Constructions” was established to initiate and support a process towards such framework.
COST TU0901 considered the main tool to be an acoustic classification scheme for dwellings –implying definition of a number of quality classes– combined with knowledge about housing constructions complying with the class criteria.
The findings from COST TU0901 are presented in two books with the joint main title “Building acoustics throughout Europe”. Volume 2 consists of country chapters describing the national housing stock, construction types and related sound insulation performance in countries involved in COST TU0901.
This particular chapter presents the situation in Serbia regarding the basic characteristics of the housing stock and acoustic performance of typical constructions between dwellings - partition
walls between dwellings, as well as floor structures.

AB  - The current process of aligning the national legislation with that of the European Union, combined with the attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of regulations in accordance with the European framework related to particular aspects of design and construction of buildings, has contributed to the next step in the harmonization as mutual comparison and synchronization of diverse performances of buildings, such as thermal and acoustic. The two groups of properties of a building refer directly to relevant aspects of residential convenience and comfort, which is a particularly interesting housing issue. As residential comfort is a variable category affected by the systems of regulations and standards, this paper will present an account of how relevant regulatory requirements of today's Serbia have treated thermal and acoustic comfort and related building performances, that is, of the extent to which their comparative analysis is possible throughout different periods of construction.

AB  - Traditional rural houses are one of the most endangered forms of cultural and built heritage in Serbia today. A special quality of traditional architecture of this region could be recognized in its manifold typological diversity that is present not only in its spatial and formative characteristics but also in various structures and materials that were used in their construction. In the past, materialization of this vernacular architecture was in interaction with nature and the conditions of the immediate environment, especially in terms of its climatic and geographic properties.Although old rural houses represent the keepers of the tradition, they are often abandoned and left to the effects of the march of time, or replaced with new buildings that do not manifest any authentic regional or local features.
Problems related to their protection, preservation and regeneration to a great extent could be connected either with properties of materials used for their construction, since they are usually not very durable, or with level of how comfortable they are altogether, which is less than it is necessary for a comfortable life of a contemporary man.Through a review of types and methods of materialization of traditional rural houses in Serbia, as well as an analysis of their achieved thermal performances, this paper strives to point out the real need and optimal possibilities for their improvement, with respect to the need for protection of their integrity and authenticity during the renovation process, which are basic postulates of the contemporary conservation theory and practice.
