Abstract
In the middle of the twentieth century there was a need for a significant amount of housing in Russia as soon as possible caused by the necessity to restore buildings destroyed during the war years, as well as rapid urbanization. Panel apartment houses have become an excellent solution to this problem, due to the simplicity and short construction time. However, recently such buildings do not meet the requirements of comfort, safety and economy. Not only Russia, but also the countries of Eastern Europe, Germany and Japan faced this problem at the turn of the century. In this article, analogues of the panel houses renovation with increasing energy efficiency of their thermal envelope in different countries are considered. It is conducted a comprehensive analysis of the existing legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of reconstruction. Technical opportunities to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of panel buildings and their economic advisability were considered by the example of panel apartment building in Ekaterinburg.
Highlights
According to International energy agency energy intensity of Russia's GDP is 11 times higher than in Germany, 6 times higher than in Canada, 4 times higher than in Poland
Due to the implementation of the activities indicated in the Program, the reduction of the energy intensity of Russia's GDP by 13.5% should be achieved
As it was calculated by the Russian Federation Ministry of Energy, the potential for energy saving in the housing and utilities sector is about 95-110 million tons of standard fuel
Summary
According to International energy agency energy intensity of Russia's GDP is 11 times higher than in Germany, 6 times higher than in Canada, 4 times higher than in Poland. Due to the implementation of the activities indicated in the Program, the reduction of the energy intensity of Russia's GDP by 13.5% should be achieved As it was calculated by the Russian Federation Ministry of Energy, the potential for energy saving in the housing and utilities sector is about 95-110 million tons of standard fuel. As well as the lack of mechanical ventilation systems, do not allow tenants to monitor and set the microclimate parameters according to their preferences. Such systems are not flexible and cannot be adapted to the changing Russian climate. By the reason of existing contradictions there is an issue of multi-storey panel apartment buildings reconstruction in Russian cities
