Description
Summary:People's mode of life, their professional activity and recreation depend not only on environmental factors including architecture, urban planning of a town or a settlement, but on specific atmosphere formed by the elements that are rather difficult to assess numerically. It also depends on the purity of air, soil and water resources. Generating ever increasing amounts of electrical power is indissolubly related to environmental setting and requires undertaking certain measures. The significant differences between low-energy and green houses have been demonstrated. Construction project should be considered low-energy one if it consumes less energy when in service in comparison with other similar building projects. Correspondingly, green houses are construction projects realized from naturally occurring materials with low conversion rate that could blend in with natural habitat. Every structure with low energy consumption could be considered low-energy house, at the same time, not every low-energy house could be called a green one. When erecting a house, one should take into account not only the benefits of energy saving but also the importance of environmental settings, traditions, customs, and historically developed architectural look of a town or a settlement.
