Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the energy-efficiency building requirements in general and their relationship with the constitutional protections of property afforded by the Croatian Constitution and the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), and the reconstructions and energy-efficiency retrofitting of existing buildings and the relationship between these measures and the constitutional protections of property.
