Ways to increase the energy efficiency of a roof through the use of dome translucent solutions
Incoming article date: 29.10.2023The general trend in the construction of unique buildings and structures is a high degree of glazing, so that the entire shell of the object can be a translucent structure. The object of the study was translucent roofs, which solve the problem of increasing the architectural expressiveness of the object and its energy efficiency. The research methods were theoretical and empirical methods, retrospective studies of scientific and practical results. The ideas about translucent roofing structures and materials, including domed roofs, are systematized, taking into account issues of energy efficiency and the microclimate of the facility. Modern architectural, structural, materials science aspects of the development of translucent roof structures are summarized; ways to increase the energy efficiency of translucent roofing have been identified. The results of the analytical review are of interest for the development of the theory and practice of architecture of energy-efficient objects with translucent roofing.
