Resource-saving Construction Technologies

Abstract

The article deals with resource saving in the construction sector. The Russian Federation legal and regulatory requirements in the field of energy efficiency are analyzed. The necessity for applying resource saving construction technologies at different stages of the buildings and structures’ life cycle is proved. To ensure the energy efficiency, we suggest adoption of the technologies and materials based on the magnesia binder instead of traditional cement ones. It is especially useful in the field of insulation and finishing materials. The efficiency of the light frame enclosing structures based on gypsum sheet materials, significantly reducing the loads on the underlying supporting structures and the installation labor costs compared to with partitions and floors based on the traditional materials is shown. A new technology for construction of multistorey buildings with monolithic frames (“Early Loading” Technology), which takes into account the actual loads on the constructed load-bearing structures, and reduces the work periods significantly, is proposed.
