ВИКОРИСТАННЯ У ПРОФЕСІЙНІЙ ПІДГОТОВЦІ МАЙБУТНІХ ФАХІВЦІВ БУДІВЕЛЬНОЇ ГАЛУЗІ ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ ЕНЕРГОЕФЕКТИВНИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ

The relevance: of developing and implementing energy-efficient technologies in the modern construction industry is driven by Russia's ongoing energy-intensive war against Ukraine, which necessitates the formation of energy-saving behavior among all citizens and specialists and the implementation of energy-efficient technologies in all energy-consuming sectors of the domestic economy, one of which is construction. Aim: To substantiate the importance of using modern building materials and innovative energy-efficient technologies in the professional training of vocational (vocational-technical) education students in the construction field to enhance energy efficiency, energy saving, and rational use of thermal energy in the modern construction industry of Ukraine. Methods: Analysis of scientific sources, regulatory legal documents, and empirical data – to prove the importance of using modern building materials and innovative energy-efficient technologies in the professional training of vocational (vocational-technical) education students in the construction field; theoretical analysis, synthesis, and generalization – to form conclusions regarding the peculiarities of applying modern building materials and energy-efficient technologies in the educational process of vocational (vocational-technical) education institutions in the construction field. Results: The main energy-economic indicators of Ukraine were identified and compared with those of other countries, revealing them to be negative (electricity consumption in Ukraine is 60%, while in France it is 40%, and in Great Britain – 35.8%); it was substantiated that the professional training of construction specialists requires familiarizing students with the problems and principles of sustainable development in construction (minimizing energy and material resource consumption during the construction and operation of building structures, reducing the negative impact of construction on the environment; comprehensive analysis of energy, environmental, economic, and socio-social issues of building construction, etc.). Conclusions: It has been substantiated that to ensure the rational use of material and energy resources, increase energy saving in Ukraine's housing and communal sector, and strengthen its energy independence, it is necessary to include in the content of professional training for future construction industry specialists familiarization with innovative energy-saving technologies in construction (design of energy-efficient buildings, energy performance certificates for buildings, thermal modernization of the housing stock, use of modern thermal insulation materials, installation of energy-saving windows, application of energy-saving engineering technologies and heating systems), environmental characteristics of energy-saving technologies, principles of energy-saving measures, etc.
