ASSESSMENT OF HEAT LOSS IN THE PANEL BUILDING OF THE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX "ART-QUARTER OF THE SPIVOCHE"

Abstract

Maintenance of buildings in Ukraine consumes a significant amount of energy because of the low resistance to heat transfer of enclosing structures. The problem of improving the energy efficiency of buildings is not new for our country, but measures to improve their energy efficiency in some cities and regions have not become massive. First of all, this is due to the fact that the cost of energy resources was lower than market prices, which did not create the appropriate motivation for attracting investments in energy-efficient technologies in the construction industry. The current trend in the construction industry to reduce the cost of construction, due to the use of cheaper and less-quality materials and the violation of technological processes in the insulation and fitting of external fencing structures leads to a decrease in the quality of structures and increase the heat and energy during operation, especially for modern new buildings. The purpose of the work is to study heat flows and analysis of thermal losses through the enclosing structures of a panel house built in Kiev, the outer walls of which are insulated from the side of the facades and finished with thin-layer plaster. The article presents the main technical characteristics of the residential building of the Residential Complex "ART-Quarter of the Spivoche" analyzes its volumetric-planning and design solutions, performs the heat engineering calculations of the outer walls, conducts the thermal imaging examination of the external enclosing structures by the thermal imager, describes the main problems of heat loss through the outer shell and conclusions are made regarding the prospects for further research to improve the energy efficiency of the building.
