Abstract
In the study, based on the analysis of the preferred orientation and shape of the building in the form of a rectangle with ratios of 1:2-1:8 in increments of two indicators, an analysis was made of the minimum specific heat loss, taking into account the cold, hot and annual periods in the context of the characteristic territories of Kazakhstan. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the most minimal heat loss in the annual cycle showed a ratio of 1:4 for all the studied territories. At the same time, with respect to the compactness coefficient, it was concluded that the most suitable building shapes are with a ratio of 1:2 and 1:4. This is explained by the fact that as the length of the building increases, the surface area of the exterior fences increases. This dependence directly affects the building's compactness coefficient. The dependencies obtained in this study will have a positive impact on further comprehensive research by the authors in the development of energy-efficient adaptive outdoor fencing systems.
