Abstract
The combination of adverse natural conditions with low density of population in arctic areas complicates approaches to design and construction of housing accommodations for arctic locality and governs the requirements for interior arrangement, automated sustenance systems and reliability of residential buildings. The article addresses the problem of structural synthesis of an intelligent residential building for arctic conditions. A classification of construction constraints affecting the decisions made in design process is introduced. A task of satisfying these constraints in the process of structural design and building automation is introduced. The designated goal is to obtain an admissible solution of the synthesis problem on the basis of formalized knowledge of operating conditions, that minimizes the objective function’s value. The aspects of selecting a target function are considered. An approach towards developing new compelling projects of intelligent residential buildings for the conditions of the Russian High North, capable of providing comfort and safety using the latest achievements of engineering in the field of automation and reliability of automated systems, is proposed. Compelling and comfortable housing will help the issue of convincing people to settle in the Arctic regions, research, develop and preserve them for posterity.
