Abstract
In the article, which shows the results of the authors' own research, the purpose of which was determination of energy, ecological and economic effects of implementing the proposed measures based on the results of an energy audit of a residential building using the example of a hotel in conditions of armed aggression and in the perspective of the post-war reconstruction of critical infrastructure and the economy of our country, the following tasks have been consistently solved: performing the analysis of the research output data; performing the building description; performing the calculations of the building's energy efficiency indicators before implementing the suggested technical solutions; proposing the technical solutions to increase the energy efficiency of the building; performing the calculations of the building's energy efficiency indicators after implementing the suggested technical solutions; drawing conclusions based on a comparative analysis of the building's energy efficiency indicators, identified energy, ecological and economic effects of implementing the proposed measures. Problem of the study is the lack of the required number of building energy auditors in the labor market, given the prospects for the post-war reconstruction of critical infrastructure facilities, buildings and structures for industrial, office and residential purposes in terms of implementing sustainable development goals and the requirements of relevant legislation, including those regarding ecological safety. Idea of the study is to conduct an energy audit of a residential building using the example of a hotel, propose technical solutions and determine the energy, ecological and economic effects of their implementation in order to reduce energy consumption in conditions of armed aggression and in the perspective of the post-war reconstruction of the critical infrastructure and economic of our country. Object of the study is energy efficiency indicators of existing and designed buildings for various purposes. Subject of the study is methods for calculating the object of study and factors that influence their numerical values. Scientific novelty of the results obtained is the approach to determining the energy, ecological and economic effects of implementing technical measures to increase energy efficiency based on energy audit data for hotel-type buildings has been further developed. Practical value of the results obtained is the applying regulatory methods to other objects described above will allow the practical implementation of the results of such calculations in the official activities of divisions and units of the SES of Ukraine, with existing workplaces for employees, places for placing fire-fighting and emergency rescue equipment, taking into account the peculiarities of operational duty by rescuer crews.
