The areas which are heavily urbanized, including densely developed districts, limited open spaces and biologically active areas, provide a special environmental context, as well as increased pollution and emission of heat generated by human activity. The climatic factors undergo transformation (e.g. shading, changed directions of wind caused by buildings, the phenomenon of the urban heat island). There are various building needs in the scope of the development of their interior microclimate, for instance, problems...

The analysis of foreign experience in the implementation of projects for sustainable development economy has shown that in almost all countries the greatest number of innovation projects are carried out in the construction and energy sectors, while very strict requirements for energy efficiency level are imposed on the facilities The accumulated array of analytical data in this field is definitely insufficient to obtain clear and unambiguous conclusions about the relationship between the energy efficiency of the b...

Development of the digital economy and information technology requires the development of an effective urban space management system. In this regard, the Russian state has adopted a strategy for the development of the concept of Smart City. In the process of modernization of Russian energy and transport industries and Civil Engineering industry, new ways of the territorial energy efficiency improvement are relevant. The selected topic of the article is considered very relevant. The authors of the article on the ba...

As things stand now, the two foreground factors, among others, contributing to sustainability of the integrated structures represented by regional industry clusters are sound use of energy resources and improvement of the economic efficiency of energy conservation measures and technologies being mastered by the manufacturers. The issues related to tailoring of a package of energy conservation measures followed by assessment of the influence produced by energy conservation projects on the efficiency and sustainabil...

Compared to the separate production of electric and thermal energy from conventional sources of fuels, their combined generation in a Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP), produces a primary energy saving of at least 10%. This savings can also be translated by a proper reduction of pollution caused by combustion of fuels and thus by contributing to maintaining sustainable development. However, there are also situations where cogeneration can be extended to produce many more forms of useful energy, using the same ma...

Today's society is at the junction of two great challenges: the desire to preserve and carry on the values of the past, materialized in heritage sites and the application of all the measures known at present, to ensure high living standard from the point of view of thermal comfort and energy efficiency. These two directions are often found to contradict each other and even end up rejecting each other. To take care of the values of the past, it means applying clear rules in the processes of rehabilitation, restorat...

Worldwide, one of the most developed industries, it is the hospitality industry that consumes a considerable amount of energy to provide quality and comfort services. The used energy in hotel units has as a major component electricity, while the share of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels is considerably lower. The amount of used electricity depends primarily on the size and nature of the hotel unit, but also on the type of customer and location. In this regard, the article addresses ecological and sustainable altern...
