On the example of a typical residential multi-apartment building, a feasibility study was carried out on the choice of energy-saving measures for the thermal insulation of facades. The decision to increase the energy efficiency of the building was made on the basis of calculating the loss of thermal energy through the external walls. Based on the parameters of the heating period, capital costs for additional thermal insulation of facades and calculated values of operating costs for heating, the optimum thickness of the additional layer of insulation is determined, in which the payback period assumes a minimum value.

High-rise buildings in the city center construction has been with diversify disposition. As there is high wind on top of high-rise buildings, wind turbines are often installs on top of high-rise buildings. However, we can expect efficient power generation only by installing when the turbine in the place of heavy wind. In this article, it tries to evaluate wind power generation by performing airflow analysis around the roof according to the disposition of high-rise buildings.
