Influence of thermal protection of residential buildings in rural settlements on the state of the environment

Abstract

The state of the environment is most affected by the emission of greenhouse gases, in particular, carbon dioxide, which is formed during the combustion of fossil fuels. The main part of the energy resources that are consumed in rural areas, in addition to technological purposes, is fuel used for heating residential buildings. The article examines the state of thermal protection of residential buildings (individually defined buildings). During their construction in every region of a large country, they adhered to the established traditions, which changed slightly with the advent of new materials. Residential buildings built over a century ago are in operation in Russia. Local materials were mainly used in the construction of the walls. For a long time, state structures were not interested in the state of residential buildings, since there was no need for this due to the lack of a centralized fuel supply to villages. Gasification of rural settlements requires a revision of the attitude towards thermal protection of residential buildings. To solve the problem, state support will be required for the insulation of some of their external enclosing structures.
