ADVANTAGES OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION

This article highlights the relevance and appropriateness of building energyefficient houses in Russia with the use of modern building materials and devices, the use of essentially new approaches to the design of structures, the practice of introducing new technologies and structures in housing construction using the example of low-rise houses-cottages. The basic principles of design of energy-saving houses are also analyzed, such as rational landscape planning and the correct orientation of the building to the sides of the world, a spatial planning solution that implies the compactness and correct geometry of the building to reduce its heat losses, the use of highly effective thermal insulation materials in multicomponent facades, foundations and roofing systems, the use of a controlled system of combined extract and input ventilation with recuperation and the use of systems a automation. The main advantages and disadvantages of building energy-efficient houses in the Russian Federation are considered.
