Toward sustainable development of the building sector in the former Soviet Union

Budownictwo o Zoptymalizowanym Potencjale Energetycznym

Russia and the former Soviet countries (CIS) have made great progress in increasing energy efficiency and curtailing carbon emissions from the building sector during the last 15 years. A new generation of codes on energy efficiency in buildings has taken effect, translating scientific advances into real energy savings. In these countries, a fundamental transformation in construction practice has taken place, toward the use of energy-efficient construction approaches, materials, products and equipment. These codes require a reduction of at least 40 percent in energy consumption for heating in new and renovated buildings. Citizens and governments will save more than 1.3 EJ of energy through 2010, preventing more than 90 milion tones of cumulative CO2 emissions in Russia alone. Improvements embodied in the new codes include an energy efficiency rating system with five classes, including two classes that exceed code requirements; maximum permitted specific energy consumption levels for heating the whole building; an “Energy Passport” – a single verification protocol used in both building design and operations; consideration of energy for ventilation, internal heat gains, and solar radiation under cloudy conditions; consideration of the efficiency of the heat supply system, including renewable sources of energy; and harmonization with international levels, in particular, EPBD of EC (2002/91/EC). As a result, the construction complex in the CIS is moving toward sustainability. The paper describes these achievements and barriers to implementation.
