Abstract

The analysis and evaluation of the features of spatial architecture layout design, structural and engineering solutions of modern energy-efficient low-rise residential buildings have been conducted, taking into account the climatic zoning of the Earth. Research methods are based on a comparative analysis of the modern case studies focuses on the construction of energyefficient low-rise residential buildings. A number of studies have been devoted to the problem of designing energy-efficient passive houses in a climate like Ukraine, but there is still no common typological basis for designing. Further studies have focused on implementing the passive house standard, as well as realized passive house projects have been launched in different parts of the world. This experience is considered as an example of project practices and norms of Europe, Asia, and Arab countries. These examples were grouped by climatic conditions and analyzed from the point of view possibilities of adopting their feasibility solutions to the particular Ukrainian climate and conditions.

Highlights

  • Following the first oil crisis in 1973, much attention was paid to the design of energy-efficient buildings around the world

  • It is an important task to determine the impact of climatic considerations on the spatial architecture layout design, structural and technical-engineering solutions of such buildings

  • The research method is a comparative analysis and was conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the spatial architecture layout design, structural and technical engineering solutions of energy-efficient buildings in different climatic conditions

Summary

Introduction

Following the first oil crisis in 1973, much attention was paid to the design of energy-efficient buildings around the world. The first energy-efficient buildings appeared in the UK, Finland, Germany, and the USA. There are common solutions amongst the principles of energy efficient building design that minimizes the energy consumption of the buildings, depending on the climatic conditions of the country applicable to the buildings construction and locality. It is an important task to determine the impact of climatic considerations on the spatial architecture layout design, structural and technical-engineering solutions of such buildings
