The benefits of sustainable energy from the point of view of the use inside buildings are highlighted by reducing costs of the heating and electricity invoices, by increasing comfort and maybe not last in a significant contribution to avoiding climate changes [1]. Generally a residential building is defined as a complex system and the factors affecting the energetic performances are the following: structural loads, external temperature, solar exposure, precipitations/wind (in quantity and content).

Therefore, validation requires a complex decision evaluation of the chosen solution behavior throughout the lifetime of the system using the appropriate criteria cost-global methodology to assess the relation heating system—thermal insulation. Also the method can be used to compare several buildings that where renovated and insulated with different types of materials in order to identify the optimal choice of material, also considering the best quality-cost ratio. In the same context we can analyze the effects of climate change on buildings respectively on the state of environmental comfort in buildings [9, 10].
