Improvement of works in the field of energy efficiency

The Purpose of this article is the improvement of works the purpose of which is increasing of the energy efficiency of buildings, therefore the surveys are conducted to define the thermal characteristics of constructions and to give the recommendations to further enhance energy efficiency of building. The methodology that used for the surveys is based on the experience of European specialists, on the analysis of normative documents and laws of our and foreign countries, on the compiling of energy certificates, on the experience of surveys of buildings, and also on the thermal imaging surveys of buildings to detect insulation defects for further improvement and to enhance energy efficiency of building. The result of comprehensive survey of constructions with analysis of thermal characteristics ? is the recommendations for increasing of energy efficiency. Along with that, the construction of building, condition of insulation, heat bridges and areas of heat losses are detailed studied. Recommendations are included the list of works to eliminate the problems that are associated with the defects. The Originality ? is the practical recommendations from our organization, that include methods of work, which can facilitate the process of energy audit of structures with use of thermal imaging equipment and programs, further conclusions with recommendations that will improve the energy rate of building or construction. Also this methodical recommendations give a review of modern energy-saving technologies including the use of alternative energy sources. Practical value of the research has repeatedly confirmed by the on thermal imaging surveys of industrial and civil buildings in Zaporozhye, such as chimneys, the buildings of a refrigerator, a range of cottages. If we follow the methodology surveys, we will effectively evaluate the accordance with contemporary standards of energy conservation and will give recommendations for further increasing of energy efficiency of surveyed buildings.
