Influence of the use of alternative energy for the formation of the architecture of roadside gas stations
Problem statement. The article considers architectural solutions of filling stations taking into account energy saving requirements to minimize their harmful impact on the environment through the introduction of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources (RES). The task is to identify means of expressiveness of the architecture of autonomous roadside stations using renewable energy sources. Based on foreign practice, analyze the techniques of arranging engineering equipment for an architectural design. Results. The main result of the study is the identification of the types of alternative energy sources in relation to the architectural form of roadside gas stations (integration into the structure -forms a single structure, placement on the surface - is located on the roof, placement in the form of an attached volume - the adjacent structure and placement as a stand-alone structure volume). Conclusions. A variety of possibilities for integrating renewable energy sources with the architectural form of the building design create directions for obtaining the architectural image of the filling station.
