Energy efficiency of life support systems of buildings in «green construction»

Abstract

Purpose: develop an integrated air conditioning system with the environment, which will allow to reduce energy consumption due to lowering the temperature of air taken from outside from natural or artificial green areas. Methods: the basis of the solution to the task of developing an integrated system was the use of three well-known methods of greening of home territories: traditional, non-traditional and container. Because green spaces, in the warm period of the year, allow you to naturally reduce the parameters of the outside air, which are used for the needs of the building's ventilation and air conditioning systems. Findings: due to the complex use of all types of landscaping, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption for work of ventilation and air conditioning systems by reducing the temperature of air taken from the outside from natural or artificial green areas. Due to this, when developing integrated air conditioning systems, we can achieve: a decrease in the temperature of the supply air from the landscaping area, which will reduce not only the energy costs for cooling and humidification, but also the reduction of pollution of the supply air; when using trees and shrubs of certain breeds, which emit phytoncides and other beneficial secretions, in the outdoor air intake area, it will improve the quality of incoming air. Practical implication: the developed integrated air conditioning system with the environment will allow to reduce the influence of the outside air temperature on the indoor air temperature due to the integrated use of all types of greening. Originality: a review of literary sources showed that today the possibility of taking outside air from existing or artificially created green areas is not used in the design of ventilation and air conditioning systems.
