For seeking out suitable means of thermal insulation system of building envelope in south China, this paper has conducted simulation analysis on respective energy consumption of the typical residential template in cold region and south China, when adopt exterior thermal insulation system or interior thermal insulation system. The study has shown that the exterior thermal insulation system is much better than the interior thermal insulation system in energy efficiency in the cold region, but there isn’t obvious difference between them in south China. And from the aspects of the climate’s influence on the insulation quality, the installation’s influence on the building facades and the construction practices, it is proved that the interior thermal insulation system is more suitable than the exterior thermal insulation system in south China.

Through pipelines of heat networks, due to their large length, a large amount of thermal energy is lost. Identification of technical solutions related to improving the energy efficiency of heating networks is an urgent task at present. The article is devoted to the consideration of options for laying pipelines of heat networks during design work. In the conducted studies, two main methods of underground laying of pipelines of heat networks with the choice of the most energy-efficient, with minimal losses of thermal energy are considered. Channel and channelless laying methods are investigated with the same design features and technological conditions of operation of pipelines of heat networks using the same thermal insulation material. For each option, the required thickness of the thermal insulation is determined by the normalized density of the heat flow, thermal calculations are performed to determine the heat loss and the value of the temperature fields generated around the operating pipelines of the heat networks. The obtained values of the thermal insulation thickness in the channel method of laying pipelines are 30-50 % lower than those in channelless laying. The heat loss values, according to the results of the heat calculation for the options under consideration, in the channel method of laying are reduced by 47-65 %. The temperature fields formed around the pipelines of thermal networks with channelless laying significantly exceed the natural value of the soil temperature at the depth of the pipeline. What has a great influence on the determination of the distance to adjacent pipelines and other utilities, laid underground, in the zone of the thermal network. A comparative analysis of the results obtained makes it possible to single out the choice of the method of laying the pipeline into a group of measures aimed at energy saving and increasing energy efficiency in heating systems.

Fire overflow on exterior wall with thermal insulation system has been studied by numerical simulation. The spread laws of fire overflow are analyzed through the temperature distribution near the window. The computational results are compared with those of test in the Exterior Insulation Fire Barrier Technical Guidelines (EIFBTG). It has been found that the calculated maximum temperature points is closed to the test on the first floor, the first ceiling, and the points near the above two windows. However, there are differences between two kinds of results above two floors and ceilings, and the points near the first window. It has also shown that when the HHR is 7.5KW, the scope of damage of exterior thermal insulation layer is about 15 square meters near the window. The research would provide reference for fire protection design of exterior wall thermal insulation in the high-rise buildings.

Improving energy efficiency and energy saving in refrigeration technology depends largely on the use of modern thermal insulation materials in the thermal insulation structures of refrigeration pipelines. The article presents a comparative analysis of the thermal characteristics and operational properties of heat-insulating materials used in refrigeration. The features of RUFLEX thermal insulation materials based on foamed synthetic rubber produced from domestic raw materials and their compliance with the requirements of energy efficiency, durability, operational reliability and safety are considered.

The regeneration of precast panel buildings is very often connected with a complete reconstruction of the existing external skin. This involves, in particular, the replacement of window openings, the installation of additional contact thermal insulation or modifications of projecting structures, including loggia glazing and, last but not least, changes in the colour shading of the surface façade layer. These interventions undoubtedly contribute to improved energy efficiency of the building, but secondary negative effects on the interior environment in terms of the daylight level must also be considered. As the aim is to modernise such buildings to reduce their energy, economic and ecological performance requirements, the maximum utilisation of daylight in the interior is one of non-negligible aspects.
