Calculation of Fuel and Energy Resource Consumption during Building Demolition

Abstract

Currently, megalopolises and large cities are characterized by the processes of renovation of existing residential buildings of previous periods of construction, as a rule of lower number of storeys. The issue of energy consumption during the renovation of buildings in dense urban areas is complex and systemic in nature and covers all stages of the life cycle of the development of residential areas due to the fact that the existing residential development is interconnected with the existing system of engineering networks and communications. In this regard, construction production in the process of demolition of old buildings and construction of new apartment buildings is of a specific nature, which should involve rationing and regulation of the consumption of fuel and energy resources. The article discusses the features of work at the demolition stage in the process of renovation of residential buildings, taking into account the consumption of fuel and energy resources by the main consumers - means of mechanization. Using the example of a five-story panel residential building, the total energy consumption during demolition by mechanical collapse and element-by-element disassembly with the preservation of suitable materials was determined, and the relationship between these two options was established.
