Fala Gaba-gaba is a traditional house with most of the building material coming from sago trees. Where sago trees are plants that grow a lot in eastern Indonesia including Maluku, North Maluku and Papua. Made from natural materials, coupled with an opening arrangement that adapts to the local climate makes the traditional house "fala gaba-gaba" as one of the energy-efficient buildings. The purpose of this study is to describe the construction of a traditional house "fala gaba-gaba" from the foundation, body and roof of the building associated with Energy Saving Buildings. The conclusion that can be drawn is one of the embodiments of energy-efficient buildings, this can be proven by placing the orientation of the building towards the direction of the wind and sun, wall and floor materials used, placement of openings that can maximize lighting and natural acceleration and building type which is a stilt house can maximize lighting and natural air.

The article is an attempt to capture the problem of changes occurring in the last dozen or so years in the architecture of energy-efficient houses in Europe, including Poland, in the light of economic and legal conditions. In the studies subordinated to the analysis of the literature, the focus was on those features of energy-efficient buildings that are derived from the logic of solutions of traditional country houses. The genesis of the form of the modern energy-saving house can be found in the principles of building and situating houses developed through the experience of previous generations. These principles took into account the specificity of the climate and existing local conditions. Modern energy-saving construction adds new technologies and new building materials to the traditional form.

Introduction. In the aspect of modern environmental problems, there is a great necessity to develop and apply the energy and efficient technologies. It refers to those types of activities that, by their operation, ensure the restoration of the spiritual and physical forces of a person (recreator). Establishments of recreation infrastructure can use "green" innovative technologies, in particular those that will provide energy efficiency and energy saving, in order to increase the level of environmental safety. Purpose. The article aims to study and generalize the national and international experience of the implementing energy efficient technologies as an instrument for improving the environmental safety of recreational infrastructure establishments. Results. To achieve the goals and objectives in the article the feasibility of using energy efficient technologies in the construction and modernization of recreational establishments, in particular, accommodation establishments has been substantiated. The main technical requirements for "energy efficient" buildings of recreation establishments have been highlighted. The experience of using such technologies in European countries has been analysed.

Design And Construction

The article discusses the modern state of architecture and construction in the world, aimed on saving energy through specific architectural and structural design of buildings. It is noted that for the time being energy saving in the majority of countries is nearly the main problem, and that is a challenge for contemporary architecture and construction. There are some ways of efficient solution of the problem in question. Among these the design and construction of special types of buildings seems to be the most notable.

Collectively, cities take up a relatively tiny amount of land on the earth, yet emit 72 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Clearly, cities need to be at the center of any broad effort to reduce climate change. This book argues that too many cities are only implementing random acts of greenness that will do little to address the climate crisis. It instead calls for “greenovation”—using the city as a test bed for adopting and perfecting green technologies for more energy-efficient buildings, transportation, and infrastructure more broadly. Further, the text contends that while many city mayors cite income inequality as a pressing problem, few cities are connecting climate action and social justice—another aspect of greenovation. Focusing on the biggest producers of greenhouse gases in cities, buildings, energy, and transportation, the book examines how greenovating cities are reducing emissions overall and lays out an agenda for fostering and implementing urban innovations that can help reverse the path toward irrevocable climate damage. Drawing on interviews with practitioners in more than 20 North American and European cities, the book identifies the strategies and policies they are employing and how support from state, provincial, and national governments has supported or thwarted their efforts.

The paper presents an overview of the international scientific and technical publications on a problem of radon accumulation in new energy efficient buildings and in houses reconstructed according to requirements of energy saving. Energy efficiency is an important requirement of the environmentally sustainable development. Housing and communal services have significant potential for energy saving. In Russia, the construction of highest energy efficiency classes buildings occurs at an accelerated rate and reached 75% of all multiapartment houses built in 2017. The applying of modern technologies that reduce heat loss is accompanied by a decrease in the air exchange rate, which leads to deterioration of indoor air quality, in particular, the accumulation of radon. In the international literature, there are examples of the several times growth of radon concentration after the reconstruction of the building, the average radon concentration in retrofitted buildings increased by 22–120%. In new houses built to meet energy saving requirements, there can also be a significant increase in radon concentration compared to low-energy efficiency classes houses. Excess of sanitary and hygienic norms was found in some countries, including Russia. Radon exposure of dwellers of energy-efficient buildings is largely determined by the living habits. Based on the review data, it can be assumed that the average level of Russian population exposure to radon can increase under conditions of intensive construction of energy-efficient buildings.
