ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS IN LOW-RISE RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERING RATIONAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Formulation of the Problem. The low-rise residential construction sector in Ukraine is experiencing rapid development, largely due to the growing demand for affordable housing to support displaced persons and families impacted by the ongoing conflict. This sector's expansion under current conditions emphasizes the necessity of reducing construction costs, particularly through efficient fuel and energy resource (FER) management during the building phase. Efficiently utilizing FER in construction is crucial for ensuring housing affordability while meeting the needs of reconstruction at scale. After the war, there will be an urgent and substantial need for large-scale housing reconstruction across hundreds of towns and villages, as well as in suburban and rural areas. This demand calls for rational organizational and technological solutions that emphasize minimal energy consumption and efficient use of construction resources. Consequently, strategies to optimize energy consumption in low-rise housing construction are vital for future growth in the sector. Purpose of the Article. The article aims to analyze current research and regulatory frameworks concerning FER usage in low-rise construction and to establish objectives for refining organizational and technological solutions that support efficient FER consumption. The study examines energy-efficient practices in various construction technologies, such as SIP panels, lightweight modular structures, and prefab systems, and evaluates these methods in terms of minimizing FER usage. Special focus is placed on practices that increase the share of factory-ready elements, which decreases on-site construction time and equipment demand, leading to overall reductions in FER consumption during building assembly. Conclusions. The integration of energy-saving technologies in residential construction is instrumental in reducing FER costs, especially during building operation. However, the initial construction phase remains material- and capital-intensive, requiring significant FER input for equipment operation, site preparation, and construction activities. Given the planned expansion of low-rise residential housing, minimizing FER use through optimal organizational and technological methods is critical. The research findings can contribute to reducing FER costs in low-rise construction, which in turn decreases total project costs, enhances housing accessibility, and supports the sustainable development of residential infrastructure. The adoption of such methods is key to advancing efficient, affordable, and scalable housing solutions for the Ukrainian construction sector.
