IMPROVING THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF LOW-RISE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
Abstract
The most promising direction of rational use and saving of fuel and energy resources is related to energy saving in various spheres of economic activity. More than a quarter of the energy saving potential is concentrated in the housing and utility industry, and more than a third in construction and industry. The main number of buildings in operation in our country are non-energy-efficient constructions made of prefabricated reinforced concrete and local materials, whose thermal performance deteriorates during operation due to poor quality or improper operation. In the article, the issues of improving the energy efficiency of low-rise residential buildings were studied in detail, suggestions and conclusions were given.
