Energy Efficiency in Architecture: Modern Strategies for Optimizing Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings

The article presents an analysis of modern strategies for optimizing energy consumption in residential buildings based on the integration of energy-efficient design, innovative technological solutions, and the modernization of existing construction stock. The relevance of the problem is justified, a literature review is conducted, scientific gaps are identified, and an original hypothesis is proposed, asserting that the comprehensive application of modern structural solutions, renewable energy sources, and intelligent control systems can significantly reduce energy expenditures and enhance the comfort of residential building operation. The methodological framework includes a systematic literature analysis and a comparative review of practical cases. The results obtained allow for the formulation of recommendations for further research and the development of integrated approaches in the field of energy-efficient design that contribute to the sustainable development of urban environments. The work will be of interest to highly qualified researchers, architects, and energy engineers seeking to integrate modern technological solutions to optimize energy consumption in residential buildings. The findings are relevant both for the academic community, fostering the development of the theoretical foundations of energy efficiency, and for practitioners implementing innovative, economically sound, and environmentally sustainable projects in the construction industry.
