Construction and climatic certification of an area as a prerequisite for development of energy-efficient buildings and their external wall constructions

Abstract

Construction and climatic certification and, therefore, the orientation of buildings and building envelopes are important aspects of design and construction, especially in the conditions of specific climatic zones of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main points that should be taken into account when determining climatic conditions, including in certification: the study of climatic conditions at the construction site, such as solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind and other meteorological factors. This permits to select the appropriate building structures, materials and technologies. Based on climatic data, an energy saving strategy is developed to ensure an optimal level of comfort in buildings with minimal costs for heating and air conditioning, as well as to minimize overheating in the summer and provide optimal solar lighting, take into account the prevailing wind directions to minimize the negative impact of strong winds on structures and improve ventilation. The developed methodology of construction and climatic certification and factors of the natural and climatic environment, entered into the passports of the construction object, is the basis for the creation of design documentation of the Architecture section to ensure optimal conditions for the design, construction and operation of buildings and structures.
