Bioclimatic construction has been an important tool for improving the construction of buildings in recent decades. Energy-saving options in buildings include the use of appropriate materials, exposures and the use of alternative power generation systems. In the present work the basic features of the bioclimatic design and study of the energy saving in the buildings of the polytechnic area located in Zografou is presented. In particular, the RETscreen software is used to test energy savings in the buildings of library, mechanical engineering and management building using photovoltaics. It turns out that an important parameter that affects energy saving is the use of the building and the type of photovoltaic used. This is evidenced by the results of RETscreen that in the case of the Library and the Mechanical Engineering building stable photovoltaic have greater energy savings while in the case of the Management building, biaxial photovoltaics produce greater savings.
