“…Therefore, in this research, the additional scenarios were proposed maintaining the same materials for roof and facade but looking for the preferred insulation thickness. This limitation is seen as justified as previous studies have shown that the type of insulation material does not provide essential differences in the life cycle impact and cost of a building [46,47]. For the definition of these additional scenarios roof, facade and windows were optimized separately, from both a life cycle environmental and financial perspective, i.e.…”

Page 1 of 30A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t The building sector is well known to be one of the key energy consumers worldwide. The renovation of existing buildings provides excellent opportunities for an effective reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions but it is essential to identify the optimal strategies. In this paper a multi-criteria methodology is proposed for the comparative analysis of retrofitting solutions. A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t far from being optimal solutions. The required additional investment, which is needed to obtain an overall performance improvement of the envelope compared with the common practice to date, is relatively low (8%) considering the obtained life cycle environmental and financial savings (43% and 45% respectively).

Abstract. In the modern world one can notice considerable rates of the increase in quantity and size of the large cities which have received the general name reflecting their key characteristics -they are named megalopolises. The directions of the enhancement of the processes of the heating systems maintenance in the modern urban environment in its constant development are considered in the article. The author determines the directions of the technical-and-economic analysis of the maintenance of this type of facilities in the urban environment, which will allow filling the gap between the level of maintenance properties of the heating systems, demanded in the modern conditions, and the actual level. Some methodical provisions of carrying out the technical-and-economic analysis of the heating systems operation, which complex nature provides the objective assessment of the essential factors action during their functions completion within the urban environment, are suggested.
