Substantiation of the necessity of the energy saving in the multistory civil engineering
In this paper the main reasons and prerequisites for increasing the energy efficiency of multistorey residential buildings as a way of reducing the energy intensity of Country’s economy and reducing the anthropogenic impact on the environment were considered. The research methods were comprehensive, assessed, and include the literature review, the legislative and regulatory framework review, as well as the review and generalization of the accumulated native and foreign experience in the field of energy-saving. The high potential of the final energy consumption and the energy intensity of Russian construction sector redaction were noted, the main reasons were named. The necessity of carrying out energy-saving measures in multistorey housing construction was substantiated. In this paper the main problems facing the increase of energy efficiency of multistorey residential buildings, including the lack of scientific researches in this area and the low appeal of the research direction, caused by the features of market relations, were touched. State regulation was recognized as the most effective tool for overcoming existing problems. The main directions of further development were outlined. The need for further development of the regulatory and legal framework and a system of incentives and benefits for legal entities and individuals that effectively use energy resources was marked.
