Buildings consume a significant amount of energy today and are expected to   consume even more in the future. This consumption necessitates the use of   fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, both of which have significant   environmental impacts. While renewable energy sources remain promising, the   most of the energy supply will still use conventional fuels in the near term.   Therefore, improving the energy efficiency in buildings is critical, and one   of the central visions of “smart buildings” is to reduce their energy use   while maintaining the same level of service and comfort. However, to make the   buildings meaningfully “smart”, their envelopes must first be made compliant   with the current energy efficiency standards. In this paper we first examine   how the public awareness of energy efficiency was risen in Serbia through   different demonstration projects, funded by the state budget and through   implementation of the energy efficiency measures in public buildings, funded   by municipal funds and soft loans from the banks. Then, we describe how the   energy efficiency in buildings might further be increased by the use of new   technologies and smart networks for control of the energy consumption. We   finally argue that these controls should take into account the personal   variables (activity, clothing) along with environmental variables (air   temperature, velocity, and humidity) for an optimum thermal comfort to be   achieved in public and residential buildings
