“…To create a building that meets "green" criteria throughout its lifecycle is a complex task. To solve such a problem, it is necessary to perform a complex of theoretical and field studies [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. Within the framework of the theoretical part, it is necessary to perform a theoretical justification and selection of the optimal system of criteria for determining the rating in the certification system, indicating that the building meets the "green" category.…”

The article presents a program of scientific and practical research on the assessment of “green” technologies in wooden low-rise housing construction in the field of energy efficiency and resource conservation. The objects of research are two identical experimental buildings built in 2020 in Murmansk and Petrozavodsk using different technologies of wooden housing construction and various thermal insulation materials. Attention is focused on assessing the factors affecting the energy efficiency class and the internal microclimate of a wooden building, taking into account the changing environmental conditions and operating modes of buildings in cold climates. The stages of the study were determined, the tasks for each type of experiment and the expected results were formulated. Methods fixed in the regulatory documents of the Russian Federation are considered as the main ones. A method for monitoring the parameters of the internal microclimate, environment and temperature and humidity in the layers of the enclosing structures of model objects is proposed and implemented. The implementation of the research program will allow assessing the influence of the factors under study on the energy efficiency class of a wooden building and developing recommendations for the design, construction and operation of low-rise wooden buildings in a cold climate, taking into account the criteria of “green” construction.

The role of residential building envelope components is significant in terms of supporting a structure and transferring associated loads, providing aesthetic appearance, and controlling the flows of matters and energy. The control function is particularly important in terms of energy use as poorly designed and constructed envelopes can negatively affect the overall performance of a building. Among others, roofs play a critical role due to their area of coverage, direct interaction with precipitation, and a significant share of total heat transfer. This is especially true in case buildings located in countries with cold climate conditions. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of different roof types on the energy use of residential buildings in Nur-Sultan city, Kazakhstan. Moreover, it aimed at performing a cost analysis to compare the four roof types. The building models roof types of roofs such as flat roof, green roof and gable roof with finished and unfinished attics were simulated and compared in terms of their energy use. The findings indicate that the most energy and cost efficient twostorey building has gable roof with finished attic. The green roof is the most energy efficient choice for a one-storey building. It consumes 4.5% less energy and will pay off in 9 years.

“…Al-Shargabi et al [21] stressed the importance of characteristics such as WWR and wall U-value as key factors that affect energy consumption, as low insulation performance is typical for glass used in windows compared to other construction materials [22]. Nadeem et al [23] drew attention to the correlation between WWR and wall insulation with the conclusion that the rise in WWR value leads to a decrease in annual energy use in uninsulated constructions.…”

“…La Fleur et al [46] used a BEM model created in IDA ICE version 4.6.2 and concluded that energy demand can be reduced by 44% after renovation. Nadeem et al [23] applied EnergyPlus to carry out energy simulations for a reference house in different climate conditions. Other examples of software appropriate for physical models include eQuest [5], EnergyPlus, BEopt v.2.8.0.0 [10], WUFI Plus v.3.2.0.1 [47], and Ecotect [48].…”

The residential sector of existing buildings has great potential in energy savings and the improvement of indoor conditions. The modernization of buildings is of particular concern to the policies of the European Union, local governments, and building users. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of indoor parameters and energy consumption for heating for an apartment located in a pre-war tenement building before and after thermomodernization. The analysis was conducted for winter conditions and was based on measurements and simulations. Originally, the building had not undergone any thermomodernization actions since its reconstruction after WWII. Interior, exterior, and surface temperatures were recorded to describe the thermal conditions of the apartment, while gas meter readings were used to estimate energy consumption for heating purposes. WUFI Plus software (v.3.2.0.1) was used to estimate energy consumption and perform energy simulations for the apartment over an extended period of time. The best thermomodernization effect resulted from the replacement of windows and the inefficient heating system, avoiding surface condensation and reducing final energy consumption by more than 50%. The extended options resulted in energy savings higher than 70%. The presented analysis shows the importance of retrofit measures and proves that even a small improvement can bring significant benefits.
