Abstract

The analysis of the preservation of the facades of Orthodox churches built in different historical epochs is given. The issue of thermal stability of building enclosing structures is considered. The importance of taking into account the microclimate of the basements is noted. Examples of the implementation of modern engineering systems that do not violate the historical appearance of religious buildings are given. Further development of engineering systems, including the use of renewable energy sources and their impact on the historical appearance of Orthodox churches is analyzed.
