Description
Summary:Severe natural and climatic conditions, remoteness from industrial centres, and poorly developed infrastructure in the northern (Arctic) regions strongly affect the life and comfort of the population. In such conditions, the construction of a maximally habitable, available for construction, energy-efficient and climate-adaptive dwelling house is in particular demand. The main criteria for creating an adaptive house were: 1) cost-effective construction; 2) minimum heat loss during exploitation; 3) maximum use of available and local materials; and; 4) adaptability to climate change. The adaptive individual house was created taking into account many years of experience in the design, construction and operation of residential buildings in the Far North and the peculiarities of the arrangement and way of life of the northern peoples. In the process of work on the project, the main principles of choosing building materials and constructions, design and construction of an individual house in the conditions of the cold climate and permafrost were generalized and specified. It is necessary to note, that projects of adaptive houses should be developed taking into account climatic conditions of the area of construction and logistics as well as modern requirements of resource and energy saving, ecological and fire safety. Such designs should be tested in Central Yakutia, and then replicated for northern and arctic areas.
