Abstract
Reducing the energy consumption is one of the pillars of sustainable development. In European scale is consumed nearly 40 % of power on operation of buildings because we spend 90 % of our time inside the buildings. Reducing energy consumption of buildings can be considered as the basis for innovative solutions for housing construction and rehabilitation of housing stock in the future which also generates significant user experience - ensuring a healthy indoor environment with an optimal design of the building. Paper presents an interesting solution of energy saving rooftop extensions - SOLTAG concept, which is the result of collaboration of experts from several countries including Slovakia.
