As part of the certification pro-
cess in Sochi there are some innova-
tive technologies and solutions ap-
plied – important for Russia’s green
building industry development:
•
•
The broad and extensive use of
photovoltaic cells (PV panels) to
generate electricity.
•
•
The broad and extensive use of so-
lar hot water systems (SHW).
•
•
The use of high quality energy-effi-
cient materials in construction (fit-
out, glass and external surfaces).
•
•
The use of high-quality and effi-
cient engineering equipment for
buildings.
•
•
Implementing of innovative con-
struction technologies that save
time, money and reduce the over-
all impact on the environment.
•
•
The conservation and restoration
of biodiversity in areas of construc-
tion.
•
•
The creation of cycle parking, paths
and infrastructure.
•
•
Pilot charging points for electric ve-
hicles (EV) some from renewable
energy sources.
•
•
The partial use of both vertical and
horizontal landscaping on buildings
(green roofs and walls).
•
•
The widespread use of LED lighting.
•
•
Energy modelling at project design
stage, which calculates project ef-
ficiency and helps to find opti-
mal solutions and implementation
methods.
•
•
The use of FSC-certified wood.
Other green buildings in
Russia
In addition to the buildings that are
certified by green standards there
are a number of objectively green
and innovative buildings that de-
serve special attention and recogni-
tion because they demonstrate inno-
vation in terms of ecology, economy,
energy and resource efficiency as
well as other aspects of the green
construction.
