The paper discusses the current problems of green architecture in Poland, yet, its main purpose is to search for historical architectural solutions in the area of broadly defined users’ comfort, thermal comfort and ventilation.

The results of the studies cover the formulation of the most important, according to the author, solutions for the future of sustainable architecture. They can be used in the creation of new principles of truly green architecture, where energy efficiency will not conflict with users’ comfort and health.
