The detailed urban plan of Kanjiza beside the two existing hotels at the grounds assigned for the development of the Institute of Special Medical Rehabilitation "Kanji"a Spa" comprises a plan to build a third hotel. An urbanistic solution of the complex was found, (positioning of the hotel) based on a bioclimatic study in which bioclimatic elements both in the analysis of the location and in the architectural design were taken into account. The bioclimatic study started by considering the elements of climate and the conditions of the location. All the relevant parameters were analyzed with the aim to reduce the energy consumption and to protect the environment. The object was designed so as to use, to the maximum possible extent, the recoverable energy sources available at the location (geothermal and solar energy). The use was foreseen of the thermal water for medical and sanitary purposes, as well as for healing and air-conditioning including the heat-pump principle. Direct capturing of the solar energy by a passive system is used - green-houses which are introduced in several forms as e.g. a lobby, wintergarten, patisserie. Part of this study is subject of this paper.
