Complex Assessment of Resource-Saving Solutions Efficiency for Residential Buildings Based on Sustainability Theory

Abstract:

This article addresses the issue of energy efficiency in the housing stock of Russian cities. It suggests that the improvement of energy and resource use in the residential houses during their life cycle will promote the transition of Russian cities on the way to sustainable future. The authors of the article present the new assessment method of efficiency the resource saving solutions in the housing stock. This method is based on evaluation of the ecological, environmental and economic effects of realization the resource saving solutions in residential buildings, taking into account the building’s life cycle cost. For this purpose, the authors suggest to use the integrated indicator of sustainability, achieved by the building, through the implementation of different resource saving solutions. The article provides the example of application of the proposed method for selecting the optimal resource saving measures among some different variants planned for realization during the overhaul of the building located in Rostov-on-Don.
