ABSTRACT
Possibilities of growing the energetic effectivity of sacral buildings is presented in the paper. Roof constructions used in post-war ecclesiastical buildings situated in zawiercianski pastoral region of archidiocese of Czestochowa are used as exam- ples of frequent occurrence of wooden roofs. Such constructions could be easily thermo insulated during their exploitation. The second possibility to save energy in sacral buildings is to install modern system of heating. Some of such systems are presented in the second part of the paper.
