Energy-efficient building materials for Arctic conditions as a criterion for “green building”

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the category “building materials” as one of the criteria for buildings environmental certification. The research aims to study one of the categories of “green” certification systems - environmental friendliness and energy efficiency of materials used in construction. The requirements for building materials in international and national rating systems of environmental certification of buildings are considered. Particular attention is paid to determining the most significant characteristics and parameters of building materials as a criterion for “green” construction in the Arctic territories. The use of energy-efficient “green” materials is considered on the example of model objects built in the territories of two northern regions of Russia - in the Murmansk region (Murmansk) and in the Republic of Karelia (Petrozavodsk).
