ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE METHODS OF MODERNIZATION OF BUILDINGS OF THE FIRST MASS SERIES

Abstract

Currently, about 100 million m2 of housing is being built annually in the country, and the existing housing stock is estimated at 3.3 billion m2. A significant proportion of the existing housing stock consists of buildings of the so-called first mass series, built in the 50s and 80s of the 20th century according to standard designs, among which panel buildings predominate. As the housing market becomes saturated, the focus in the construction industry will gradually shift from new construction to reconstruction and modernization of existing buildings. The issues of modernization and reconstruction of buildings of the first mass series are relevant not only for our country. A significant number of such buildings were built in the countries of East Germany and the Baltic States. Examples of the implementation of modernization programs for serial buildings in East Germany and Russia are shown. Specific measures and recommendations that can be implemented within the framework of such programs are given, the risks of their implementation and sources of financing are described.
