5. The object of the research
The object of this research is the design of a building with energy consumption close to zero that is planned to be
built on the Polytechnic University territory [29, 30]. After facility commissioning, the building will be the
laboratory for energy-saving and innovative technologies in construction. During the operational phase there will be
energy monitoring of buildings, evaluation of walling’s thermophysical characteristics, determining the actual
values of energy consumption. For this building will be equipped with modern measuring complexes and systems.
