Adaptation of buildings to climate change with energy-efficient glazing

Abstract

The questions of climate change, which are the most relevant at the present time, cause us to think about life in modern realities. Common anomalies require adaptation and effective solutions to provide comfort. The combined effect of outdoor temperature transitions through 0°С and humidity has a negative impact on the condition of the building and the inside microclimate. Most of the buildings that exist now are designed for climatic parameters that differ significantly from modern ones, so the question of adapting objects requires extra attention. Global tendencies are aimed at the openness of rooms to sunlight. The use of a large amount of glazing in objects has a positive effect both on the condition of people and on the level of insolation. Two objects were investigated: the building "E" Bastillia of the NRU "MPEI", which was built in 1929, and the Residential Complex "Mendeleev" in the city of Khimki. Both objects have a high proportion of glazing, which prompted an analysis of the use of energy-efficient glazing in these buildings. After completing the complex of works, it was found that energy-saving glass surfaces not only help to achieve a significant economic effect, but also solve the problem of a comfortable microclimate inside. Using this technology solves the problem of energy saving in buildings, and in combination with other energy-saving measures, maximum efficiency and economic benefits will be achieved.
