 Rezime:
 Rising energy consumption, along with limited resources and the pronounced effects of climate change, places increasing demands on energy systems. A conceptual solution to these issues is energy efficiency- using less energy to perform the same tasks. With the aim of long-term environmental preservation, key energy-saving methods have been achieved in alignment with weather conditions. The use and coordination with renewable energy sources are becoming the main advantages of selected methods. Solar light and wind energy play a dominant role. Small changes, such as reducing the operating hours of the air conditioning system and adjusting the orientation of the building, can lead to annual energy savings. On the other hand, the inability to influence climate conditions is one of the major disadvantages. The variability of weather conditions depending on the geographical location, terrain, surroundings, as well as the season itself, further complicates the processes of energy saving. This research paper is dedicated to the analysis of energy efficiency under different weather conditions and explores methods for energy savings that can be applied in such environments. It provides recommendations building design strategies and the efficient operation of artificial energy sources in order to achieve energy efficiency.
