DEFINITION OF REFERENCE BUIDLING IN DEVELOPMENT OF REQUIREMENTS TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDICATORS

Solving the strategic task of changing the energy status of residential and public buildings depends significantly on the level of regulatory requirements for new construction and reconstruction. The need to improve the system of criteria that determine the possibility of reducing specific energy consumption in building operation while ensuring thermal reliability of structures is due to the use of innovative technical solutions in up-to-date construction. The article analyzes the available data on residential and public buildings in order to determine the principles of establishing reference approaches to regulating of energy efficiency indicators. The details of development of housing and public stock in Ukraine are given. The article is a continuation of the previous scientific work carried out by NIISK over the past fifteen years with main publications given in the references below and which are aimed at developing methodological framework for creating a system of norms and standards that ensures the introduction of modern innovative technical solutions in domestic construction. The paper covers the principles of normalization of energy characteristics, which have been changing in the domestic regulatory framework over time. The article considers the details of methodological provisions of presenting the building energy performance that exist in Ukraine and the European countries. The criteria for selecting reference buildings should take into account both architectural and structural trends that exist in up-to-date construction and architectural and engineering solutions of existing buildings. There is a list of reference buildings and it takes into account the climatic features and functional purposes as well as determines the features of microclimate and, accordingly, energy costs to ensure the parameters of microclimate. The direction is defined for of further research on the development of minimum requirements for energy efficiency of residential and public buildings is defined.
