To the greatest degree modern showed requirements are answered with characteristics of military buildings and constructions on the basis of collapsible constructive system Module which allows to form complexes of inhabited,industrial, public, warehouse and special purpose of any capacity for various climatic conditions.

By the new General plan by 2025 in St.-Petersburg it is planned to construct 130 million ??. M of the real estate (for comparison: now in city nearby 140 million ??.). From them nearby 50 million ??. The m is allocatedunder apartment houses, 30 million ??. M - under objects of socially-business purpose (hospital, school, hotel and trading complexes). Besides it is supposed to reconstruct 25 million ??. M industrial ????????and to add to the city real estate 25-30 million more ??. M due to development of an engineering infrastructure.

Speaking about dialogue of authority and business, it is necessary to not forget, that besides it is necessary to consider both opinion and our inhabitants – for whom, first of all, we and work.

It is a well notorious fact that if you get below the surfaceof the earth a few meters, the temperature tends to be constant and at 8 to 12 degrees, depending on latitude.So, it does not take an architect to appreciate that if you could move outside air through a buried pipe, you could alter its temperature and then move it into a house where it can warm or cool the homes interior.Underground temperatures can be very beneficial in balancingthe thermal comfort of the house.

This paper presents the preliminary findings from the first stage of a physical survey and modelling Case Study conducted to obtain Modelled and Actual Energy Consumption Profiles for a UK multi-storey mixed use educational building. The purpose of the study is to provide an insight into how accurately current models and software can predict the actual energy consumption in such a building, with a view to informing the development of Operational and Asset Ratings for Buildings in the EU as part of the EPBD Article 7 requirements.

This paper outlines the findings of a research project undertaken as part of the design for St. Anthony’s School, a primary school in the town of Gudalur situated in tropical southern India. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a design approach

This paper examines aspects of energy performance of office building facades in urban environment in Greece. Two double skin facade (DSF) types were placed to a conventional office building and were compared. A corridorDSF type and a continuous DSF type. Opaque and transparent faade elements, shading devices, internal and external openings were examined among others. The ventilation and shading strategies were validated, exploiting the characteristics of the DFS types and the specific use of the building.

The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive(EPBD) encourages the use of technologies in buildings that can potentially improve their energy performance.Double ventilated faades can often have a positive contribution to this objective and their effect has to be quantified during the calculation of the overallenergy performance of the buildings. The updated EN ISO 13790 Standard is part of the new set of CEN Standards that have to be delivered to support the EPBD requirement for a general framework for the methodologyof calculation of the total energy performance of buildings.

This project refers to the study and analysis of a central region of the city of Heraklion in Crete and the proposal of an installation of a light metal construction, aiming at the improvement of comfort conditions of the users of the region.

It is of significant importance, for the health of building residents and the protection of the natural environment, to attain conditions of thermal comfort within buildings and reduce their energy demands for cooling or heating. In order to set up a sustainable built environment and prevent the waste of natural resources, a serious consideration of several vital factors is essential. These factors mainly concern the outdoor environment, the envelope surfaces and the indoor environment of buildings.
