Proposals for standardization the heat transfer resistance of insulated walls of residential buildings in the Republic of Belarus

Introduction. Resistance to heat transfer is considered the main criterion of energy operational efficiency in the design of enclosing structures of buildings and structures. Therefore, the calculation of the values of the normalized resistance to heat transfer, for each locality of the Republic of Belarus, taking into account the actual outdoor temperatures and the duration of the heating season is an urgent task. Materials and methods. To assess the energy efficiency of enclosing structures, the value of annual heat losses Q, kWh/m2, through 1 m2 of the structure was adopted. The calculation of the values of the normalized heat transfer resistance for each locality of the Republic of Belarus, taking into account the actual outdoor air temperatures and the duration of the heating season, was carried out according to the method recommended by V.G. Gagarin. A comparative analysis of the results obtained according to the methods recommended by TCP 45-2.04-196-2010* and SP 50.13330.2012 is carried out. Results. The calculations determine the values of the normalized heat transfer resistance for each locality of the Republic of Belarus, taking into account the actual outdoor air temperatures during the heating period and the duration of the heating season. To facilitate the design of insulated walls, a map of the recommended (calculated) values of the heat transfer resistance of the external walls of residential buildings for the territory of the Republic of Belarus is constructed. Conclusions. According to the results of the performed studies, it was found that the economic efficiency in the design of insulated walls according to the method recommended by TCP 45-2.04-196-2010*, depending on the region of the Republic of Belarus for which the design is being carried out, is on average from 6 to 8 BYN per 1 m2 of insulated wall.
