An environmentally friendly monument - possibilities of using pro-ecological solutions in theory and practice. Outline of the problem ; Zabytek przyjazny środowisku – możliwości stosowania proekologicznych rozwiązań w teorii i praktyce. Zarys problemu

The problem of climate change and the effects it may cause has resulted in European Union inducing top-down planning of practical measures to prevent these changes. Attempts to introduce pro-ecological solutions are also visible among the historic buildings.

The analysis of legal provisions and jurisprudence is complemented by the presentation of the results of interviews with architects offering design services in historic buildings (seven persons) and officials of the Voivodship Office for the Protection of Monuments in Łódź (three persons). It should be borne in mind that historic properties are a part of special cultural resource that should be taken care of. Taking care of the environment in the context of climate change is equally important, but planning pro-ecological activities cannot be put in opposition to the preservation of cultural heritage. ; Problem zmian klimatycznych i skutków, jakie mogą one wywołać spowodował odgórne planowanie przez kraje Unii Europejskiej praktycznych działań, które mają zapobiec tym zmianom.
