Abstract: The master’s thesis develops a comprehensive system of heating, air conditioning, and ventilation for a two-story residential building located in the city of Izmail, Odessa region. The building has dimensions of 22.49 x 14.88 m in plan and a total height of 6.5 m, with each floor having a height of 3 m, and an attic providing additional storage space. The exterior walls of the house are constructed from hollow ceramic bricks with a thickness of 380 mm, which gives the building both high strength and excellent thermal protection capabilities. Ceramic bricks effectively mitigate the influence of external temperatures, reducing heat loss in winter and minimizing overheating in summer. To improve the building’s energy efficiency, modern mineral wool boards with synthetic binding material, 150 mm thick, are used. This insulation layer further enhances the thermal insulation of the walls, ensuring stable indoor temperatures. Mineral wool retains heat well, significantly reducing heating costs while also lowering external noise levels, which is crucial for comfortable living. The house’s heating system is designed to ensure maximum energy efficiency and comfort. All elements of the heat generator system are assembled to reduce energy consumption while maintaining high operational reliability. A wall-mounted gas boiler with a closed combustion chamber minimizes heat loss and enhances safety by directing combustion products directly outside via a coaxial flue, ensuring hermetic isolation of the indoor space from potential gas leaks. This design also prevents cold air from entering the house through open ventilation channels, which is vital for maintaining a stable indoor temperature. Heat pumps, serving as the main additional energy source, not only reduce natural gas consumption but also enable the use of renewable energy sources (e.g., geothermal or hydrothermal resources). This approach reduces energy costs and makes the system more environmentally friendly by lowering CO2 emissions. Heat pumps are highly efficient, allowing homeowners to significantly cut energy consumption with minimal maintenance expenses. A manifold with five branches ensures even distribution of the heat carrier across various zones of the house. This setup not only maintains optimal temperatures in all rooms but also saves energy, as each system can function at its optimal level. For example, if one part of the house requires more heat during winter, the system automatically adjusts the heat carrier supply to provide comfort in all rooms. The system also allows integration with other modern technologies, such as weather- dependent automation. This feature enables the heating system to adapt to outdoor temperature changes, reducing energy consumption in warmer periods and increasing efficiency in colder seasons. All system components are selected according to the latest energy efficiency standards, ensuring minimal maintenance costs and maximum comfort.
