Abstract The effects of climate change on human life in the modern era are extremely significant. Every citizen in the European Union is contributing, in their own way, to the creation of a more environmentally friendly and sustainable community with fewer emissions of greenhouse gases every day. The manufacturing and construction industries are jointly responsible for 36% of Europe's and 38% of the world's CO2 emissions. In addition, the European Union (EU) is in the process of formulating its energy policies by placing an emphasis on the energy use of the building stock. They apply directives to each Member State that are referred to as Energy Performance of Building Directives (EPBD), so that each state can define its own legislation regarding the performance of buildings.
