The aim of the project is to implement the energy assessment techniques in construction industry by the use of natural fiber. This paper presents non-destructive methodology for investigating selected geometrical and material imperfections in harden concrete structures. The imperfections include: larger air voids, improper thickness of concrete, delimitation. The methodologies preceded by a survey of the literature on the subject. The non-destructive testing analysis are made between the conventional reinforced concrete and natural fiber reinforced concrete.
