Increasing the Energy Efficiency of Buildings
Current trends and perspectives on building construction and renovation are primarily concerned with a rational usage of energy resources, a comfortable indoor climate and a reduced impact on the environment. New requirements for consumer qualities of housing, modern trends in the field of energy and resource conservation require the development of new structural solutions of buildings, modern organizational and economic directions of the industry development based on progressive achievements of science and technology, which will allow to introduce modern efficient materials and technologies into production, to solve the issues of creating a comfortable living environment. The most promising way of tackling this problem is converting to energy-efficient houses. The main heat loss in buildings occurs in the enclosure structures, which account for 30–35% of the total heat loss of a building. A high thermal protection of a building or a structure can be ensured by using efficient thermal insulating, structural building materials like cellular concrete. The unique thermal properties of cellular concrete are primarily due to porosity. Its structure produces a significant number (up to 90%) of artificially created air cavities, ensuring self-regulation comfort of living areas. The use of fiber-reinforced concrete structures in construction will help to reduce labor costs for reinforcement work, steel and concrete consumption by reducing the thickness of constructions, combine the technological operations of concrete mix preparation and its reinforcement. It has important properties for the construction industry, such as improvement of air exchange, moisture and thermal properties of the walls and sustainable structures.
