Ioana Tanasescu, Marcela Sirbu

Abstract
The goal of the paper presented is the application of some energetic evaluation methods for the buildings from animal breeding system using the new legislation norms for the detection of thermal irregularities of the envelopes elements of the buildings, using the thermo-graphic examination. Our studies carried out within the research project CEEX 6108 during three years between 2005- 2008, reveal the potential risk zones of the constructions envelope in cattle breeding farms from Transylvania, taking into consideration the materials thermal stability and technological process. The research contains analysis and measurements of micro- climate conditions in dairy cow farms and a holistic approach of the complex interaction between animal production system, construction, micro- climate conditions and environment protection mechanism. The diminish of specific energy consumption in all the sectors of activity, together with energy conservation into the buildings are key elements in sustainable development of animal breeding sector.

Key words: animal welfare, environmental conditions, thermo graphic examination
