Energy-efficient building of “Muzeiko” with green and passive cooling elements.

The building of "Muzeiko" is designed with high standards for energy efficiency and environmental protection, in compliance with international "green building" standards. The project holds a USGBC-LEED-Gold certification. The main goal is to reduce energy costs and optimize the microclimate through a combination of passive cooling measures, green elements, and intelligent façade systems.

1. Construction of an aluminum curtain wall with a steel substructure and a thermal break.
2. Installation of triple-glazed windows with a high solar protection factor.
3. Installation of internal solar protection blinds with electric operation, connected to the building management system.
4. Implementation of extensive green roofing with the "NOPHA DRAIN" system.

The north wing of the building is equipped with an aluminum façade with triple glazing (U < 0.9W/m²K, solar factor < 0.35), which reduces thermal load. The internal electric blinds are connected to a control system that regulates sunlight access based on conditions. The roof features green landscaping with a drainage composite and a special moisture-retaining substrate, helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect.

The project raises visitors' awareness of the importance of energy efficiency and urban cooling through architectural solutions. As an educational center, "Muzeiko" actively engages children and adults in demonstrations of sustainable practices.

• Reduction of indoor temperature by 2-3°C through intelligent solar protection solutions.
• Optimization of air conditioning costs through passive cooling measures.
• Enhancement of building comfort by controlling thermal load.

One of the main challenges was integrating high-tech façade solutions within the project's budget. This was overcome by combining various energy-saving measures and using materials with long-term efficiency.

• Incorporating passive cooling measures during the design phase.
• Integrating façade technologies for intelligent microclimate management.
• Implementing green roofing to mitigate the urban heat island effect.
