SAVING ENERGY IN BUILDINGS WITH THE HELP OF HELIOSYSTEMS
The paper is devoted to questions of saving energy in buildings at stage of exploitation with the help of heliosystems. In the article the mechanism of transformation solar energy into thermal or electric and the factors influencing this process are considered. The main technologies of solar energy utilization with use of constructional elements of building are defined (passive heliosystems). Technical devices placed in the range of cover building are described too (active heliosystems). Examples of passive heliosystems usage in buildings nowadays are regarded. Influence of volume-planning decisions on efficiency of using heliosystem in buildings is determined.
