The ways to improve the energy efficiency of oil and gas complex buildings

Abstract

The normative and methodological support of measures aimed at improving energy efficiency and energy
saving characteristics of oil and gas complex buildings were analyzed. The buildings classification by the
environment impact degree on them and by the design philosophy of buildings with improved energy efficiency
characteristics was performed. Different forms of building areas were considered, the most energy-efficient were
defined. Different heating systems and envelope heat-insulation designs were analyzed, the structure of heatinsulation
materials market was studied. The designs and heat characteristics of modern windows and ventilation
systems were considered.
Based on the results of the performed analysis, application of heat pipes as the most energy efficient room
heating was proposed. Small-sized semiconductor heating elements can be used to reduce the heating system sizes.
In order to reduce the electrical energy saving level and additional energy saving, the feasibility of low pulse
voltage use for heating element power supply was gorunded. The heat-insulation design of the energy-efficient room
with a long-term presence of people was developed. The room multilayered insulation design was offered to
increase its energy efficiency characteristics, the thermal design method was described. Solar batteries were
proposed to be used as an additional source of energy to provide room lighting. The proper room air exchange was
offered to be arranged by applying automatic window ventilators with the noise reduction option.
