ENERGY CONSERVATION IN GREEN ARCHITECTURE:
MODERN APPROACHES, TECHNOLOGIES AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS
DOI: 10.33868/0365-8392-2025-4-285-28-33
Abstract. The article discusses conceptual, technological and practical aspects of energy conservation in green architecture. Particular attention is paid to passive and active energy-saving design methods, modern materials and systems, the impact of urban planning factors and green infrastructure on the energy balance of buildings. International energy efficiency standards and the possibilities for their adaptation in Ukraine are examined separately. Examples of completed projects are provided, and recommendations are given for the implementation of comprehensive energy-saving strategies in construction.
Green architecture is a key area of development for the construction industry in the context of global environmental challenges. Energy conservation is its central element, which is determined by a complex of architectural, engineering and technological solutions.
The prospects for green architecture in Ukraine are linked to the improvement of the regulatory framework, the promotion of energy-efficient solutions and the development of professional education.Green architecture is an effective response to the energy and environmental challenges of the 21st century. Passive and active energy-saving methods, the integration of renewable energy sources, the use of green spaces and modern materials can significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings. International standards and best practices show that it is possible to reduce thermal energy consumption by a factor of ten.
For Ukraine, the implementation of green architecture principles is strategically important. It will increase energy independence, reduce building operating costs, and contribute to improving the environmental condition of cities.
A comprehensive approach to design that takes into account urban planning, structural and technological aspects can make green architecture the foundation for the sustainable development of the domestic construction sector.
Keywords: green architecture, energy conservation, passive house, energy efficiency, green technologies, sustainable development.
