The current study focuses on the structure cost and the energy efficiency for a five-storey building located in Timisoara, Romania. A cost comparison and the energy demand between two types of structures was concluded, namely a concrete structure and a masonry structure. The study focuses only on the building’s structure because the building’s finishes and the installation are the same for both cases. Regarding the energy efficiency, the difference appears for the exterior walls, in the first case, for the concrete structure building the walls are realized with autoclaved cellular concrete (ACC) and in the second case for the masonry structure the exterior walls are realized with brick masonry. The walls insulation is the same in both cases.
