ENERGY EFFICIENT WAYS TO IMPROVE THERMAL PROPERTIES WALLING BRICK BUILDINGS
In modern society, reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency of buildings and structures are important factors to ensure the safety of the environment and the priorities of the state economic policy. This is especially true with limited natural fuel and energy resources and rising world prices for them. Modern buildings must meet the requirements of an optimal microclimate. During the operation of buildings over time, building materials can be destroyed, changing their thermal properties. The main direction of reducing heating costs is to increase the thermal resistance of the enclosing structures by their insulation. Research of heat-shielding properties, comparison of values of thermal resistances of external protecting designs of brick buildings is an actual task from the point of view of energy saving.
