The article presents a renovation project of a residential area: Mannheim, Germany. The plot size is 6.4 hectares. It includes Glückstein-park area adjacent to the historic buildings, as well as the south - eastern part of the quarter Glückstein. Territory selected for the design, located opposite the railway station. This area has the highest priority in the planning of the city, as it connects the neighborhood Lindenhof district and the city center. The project includes a number of design features that incorporate the social and economic aspects. The main expected result of the renovation is a well-designed a unique energy efficiency, functional and expressive architectural complex that serves a residential area. Architecture new objects fit into this area. Urban space located near the quarter was designed. The proposed preferred embodiment, more comfort improvement throughout, including a high level of landscaping.
The modern materials and technologies have an ability to provide a solution of the main goal of modern construction − maximum comfort. This article shows the implementation of comfortable building in a project of primary school. All the components of comfort have been taken under consideration: a rational space-planning, energy efficiency, acoustic isolation, air-tightness, daylight, fire safety, visual aesthetics. Special attention has been given to energy-efficiency: heat transfer coefficients have been calculated, optimal constructions have been selected, involving alternative methods of producing energy. The class of the building’s energy has also been determined. Economic benefits have also been described due to using renewable energy, area economy and so on. As a result, the concept of "comfort in all respects" have been revealed, recommendations on its implementation and further research in this area have been given.
The term "sustainable development" came in to use in 20th century and can be regarded as the set of mind notion. The International Union of Architects by the Copenhagen Declaration (December 7th, 2009), noted that "the concept of sustainability project" recognizes that all architectural and urban objects are part of a complex interactive system linked to their natural environment" [1]. The search for modern energy efficient building materials and technologies should be linked to the energy-efficient landscaping and typological object organization. Proposed scientific method provides the criteria of "sustainability project" in terms of modern energy efficient building materials usage. The modern construction materials building projected method suggested to be the part of complex interactive system linked to its natural surroundings based on the object energy-efficient organization properties (architectural, landscape and typological).
Reduction of the costs in the operation of the building, due to energy-saving technologies, is a priority in the construction today. This article discusses some ways to reduce energy consumption of schools in hot climates such as the installation of solar collectors, using of triple-glazed windows and modern insulating materials. These methods of energy reduction are determined by the selected space-planning solutions, constructive features of the structure, financial possibilities and climatic conditions. Considering these above listed characteristics, the school was designed for the class A of energy efficiency.[1-4]
Abstract. This article provides estimates the parameters of protection from cracking dam due to volume compensation method. This article discusses the method of compensation dam volume. This method allows calculating the settings of security causing cracks the dam. Presents graphs of horizontal deformations of elongation calculated surface along the length of the construction and in time. Showing horizontal stress distribution diagram in the ground around the pile in plan and in section. Given all the necessary formulas for the method of compensation of the dam volume.
As a result of rising prices for heat energy and utilities there is a need to improve the thermal protecting of buildings to reduce heating costs in the operation. One of the ways to increase the energy efficiency of enclosure structure of residential, public and industrial buildings is the use of efficient building materials and facade systems. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the energy characteristics of three-layer wall construction with facing layer of plaster with the use of standard coil meshes and coil meshes with air pockets As a result of comparison, it was found that the use in the construction of the wall plaster meshes with air pockets not only allows you to reach the required level of thermal protection of the building, but also to reduce the cost of construction by reducing the thickness of the insulation.
Energy-efficient construction has been developing only since recent times; however, the field of its application is surprising. Why is it so? First, there is the continuous increase of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. In such case, there is an urgent necessity to reduce the volume of fuel consumed as a whole. Second, energy recourses become expensive due to decreasing of renewable energy sources. Consequently, energy savings become a global question. One of the areas to reduce energy consumption is housing, which consumes approximately 30 to 40% of all energy resources. Presently, there are countries that have lower intakes of energy for heating buildings already and they are entering the near future with technology of the construction of buildings with zero energy consumption. The object of this work is to design a demonstration model of a building with energy consumption close to zero. The current article describes activities that reduce energy consumption of the building by selecting the rational architectural planning and three-dimensional solution.
