Principles of green architecture for the historical part of Saint-Petersburg

Abstract

The main provisions of the concept of "green architecture" for the historical part of megacities require scientific and practical justification due to the fact that buildings in historical part have restrictions on the use of landscaping as well as there are restrictions for energy-autonomous buildings on the use of equipment based on renewable energy sources. Reconstruction, restoration, repair and other activities can be carried out as architectural and construction activities in the historical part of the city. This requires the clarifications in the strategy of development of the concept of "green architecture" for the historical part of large cities. The main directions of development of the concept of "green architecture" for the cold climatic conditions of Saint-Petersburg with a small number of sunny days in average of 60-65 sunny days per year are developed in the paper.
