Low-rise buildings made of light steel thin-walled structures (LSTS below) in the Arctic regions are considered by thermal protection destruction due to many heat-conducting elements and high air infiltration. Constructive measures have been recommended to increase thermal protection for buildings made of LSTS including thermally insulated cellar with a controlled temperature mode. A comparative assessment of the energy efficiency of the proposed measures has been carried out. A significant temperature improvement on the inner surface of the basement slab was obtained. The energy characteristics improvement of a building made of LSTS is shown in comparison with the indicators of a standard solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
