Abstract

The article presents recommendations for assessing the heat and energy efficiency of a design solution for a building envelope based on the calculation of energy costs during typical periods of time. The recommendations are based on the analysis of defects in thermal protection of building envelopes during design and construction, by studying design documentation, thermal imaging, calculation and verification of building envelope components. Results of calculation of temperature in hazardous structural sites for the design winter conditions with the help of software that implements the finite element method are presented. In the present paper, the design solutions of the nodes of the walls of residential buildings are considered, where, during thermal imaging, thermal bridge are visible through the external walls. It is shown that the using of multilayer brick walls in the apartment houses in a sharply continental climate is irrational due to the rapid deterioration of the properties of the insulation layer. Also, the thermal protection of buildings is influenced by the design solution defects and violation of construction technology.
