The "Comfort in all Respects" Principle Implementation by the Example of an Elementary School

Abstract

The modern materials and technologies have an ability to provide a solution of the main goal of modern construction − maximum comfort. This article shows the implementation of comfortable building in a project of primary school. All the components of comfort have been taken under consideration: a rational space-planning, energy efficiency, acoustic isolation, air-tightness, daylight, fire safety, visual aesthetics. Special attention has been given to energy-efficiency: heat transfer coefficients have been calculated, optimal constructions have been selected, involving alternative methods of producing energy. The class of the building’s energy has also been determined. Economic benefits have also been described due to using renewable energy, area economy and so on. As a result, the concept of "comfort in all respects" have been revealed, recommendations on its implementation and further research in this area have been given.
