Problems of energy resources allocation at decision-making stages in architecture and urban planning activities

Abstract

All the levels of architecture and urban planning activities (management, designing, execution of construction works) bring up various questions of the optimal distribution of energy resources. This paper shows that the energy resources allocation is connected with different classes of tasks in optimal decisions making and belongs to mathematical programming problems. Optimization tasks at the stages of scientific research, substantiation and version design should be performed on the basis of dynamic system models of the type «population ↔ environment». The article justifies the need for deductive approach and system methods and evaluation criteria of energy resources distribution at the stages of design and quality evaluation of architectural objects. It is demonstrated that in architectural theory and practice, for the purpose of quantitative measurement of the quality of architectural and construction activity products, the scientific research of the new area – architectural metrology – is needed. The energy interpretation of the general optimality criterion of integral architectural objects as systems, functioning in accordance with general system principles, is discussed.
