Normative technical parameters of low energy buildings

Abstract

The consumption of fossil fuel is a global problem and the solution of this problem could be the i ncrease of energy efficiency and renewable energy consumption. However, the pace and methods to solve this global problem in general and particularly in construction are insufficient. In different countries, there are energy efficient buildings (passive, environmental, green, smart, sustainable etc.), although generally accepted normative evaluation parameters of energy efficiency of buildings and their impact on the environment are not available yet. The building assessment systems cover a very wide range of parameters. This makes it difficult to assess and analyse the energy efficiency of buildings objectively. The paper proposes to introduce and regulate the coefficient of energy stock ratio, which will promote the use of renewable resources. Motion made searching for technical regulatory parameters to describe low energy buildings. According to the analysis of global energy situation, experimental buildings designing and calculations are proposed with normative values of the parameters (energy stock ratio - e[r], final annual energy consumption - Q[a]) for low e nergy buildings at the use stage. The principal of the proposed methodology (energy stock ratio coefficient) is suitable not only for the construction, but for every technological process to assess the use of energy resources regarding the consumption of efficient and renewable energy and environmental impact.
