Problem statement. Destruction and damage to the energy infrastructure as a result of military operations lead to the shutdown of life support systems, which affects the lives of the population and the economy. The study of heating systems in modern realities is gaining great relevance and requires scientific substantiation, new strategic solutions, as well as organizational, economic and technological developments to overcome new challenges. The study points to the need to find energy-efficient and easily renewable alternative heating systems. Purpose of the study. The research objective is to identify alternative, individual building life support systems that are more energy-efficient, modern, and quickly recoverable. This includes systems that can be restored and used independently of other power sources. Methods. Analytical studies of the heat supply system load, technological study of the heat supply system of buildings and structures, analysis and synthesis of available data, comparison of the efficiency of cascade boiler houses with other heating systems. Research results. Cascade boiler systems have demonstrated significant potential for fuel savings, reduced emissions, and optimized operational costs. These systems have proven to be versatile, finding applications in various sectors, from residential buildings to large industrial complexes. Notably, cascade boiler systems have shown to be highly resilient in the face of modern challenges, such as natural disasters, economic crises, and conflicts, ensuring a reliable and efficient heat supply. Scientific novelty. The study explores the implementation of cascade boiler systems as an alternative heating solution for buildings in Ukrainian cities affected by the conflict, highlighting their advantages and potential to address challenges associated with the destruction of traditional energy infrastructure. Practical significance. The search for innovative heating solutions for buildings is highly relevant, especially as we approach the completion of construction projects and prepare for the upcoming heating season.
