EVELOPMENT OF THE METHODS FOR SURVEYING THE TECHNICAL CONDITION OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS’ ROOFS FOR THE PLACEMENT OF ELECTRIC SOLAR BATTERIES

Problem statement. In Ukraine, green energy, in particular, solar power plants, is developing rapidly in recent years. Their power depends on the area of solar panels, so large land plots are required for powerful plants. In the context of urban development, there are almost no free plots. It is proposed to place such stations on the roofs of residential buildings. The problem is that in order to implement this, it is necessary to investigate the technical condition of the roof structures. To do this, it is necessary to develop technique for surveying the roofs’ technical state. The purpose of the work is to classify the survey objects, with further development of the visual observation methodology, instrumental measurements, selection of facts, and establishment of links between them. Method. The methods of visual observation, instrumental measurements, data accumulation, selection of facts, and establishing links between them were used to develop the classification of the survey objects. The types of residential buildings that were built from the 30s to the 80s of the last century on the territory of Ukraine were studied. The investigation of urban residential buildings for the purpose of their classification was conducted according to consumer and operational characteristics. The result of the research is the development of a technique for the application of research methods such as visual inspection, instrumental measurements. A technique for surveying the technical state of those types of roofs that were included in the classification based on the study of existing residential buildings was developed. The scientific novelty is that the technique is developing for the first time for surveying the technical state of roofs and garrets, for the tasks of placing electric solar stations on their surface. Practical value. With the help of the developed technique, it will be possible to conduct a survey of the technical condition of roofs and garrets for the placement of solar stations on their surface by all organisations that are engaged in such work and have the necessary experience and tools. Conclusions. A classification of types of roofs and garrets of residential buildings was developed for the possible location of electric solar batteries on their surface, as well as a technique for surveying the technical state of roofs and garrets structures was developed.
