The requirements for the energy efficiency of building structures are based on the balance of costs for their manufacture, operation and the effect that is achieved by saving heat. In conditions of relatively low cost of energy carriers, the use of seamless insulation systems, including those based on light or heat-insulating plasters, becomes expedient. The developed facade light plaster system has, at an average density of 400–500 kg/m3, adhesion strength to the substrate of 1.3–1.6 MPa; compressive strength of 4.7–5.5 MPa; frost resistance of 50 cycles. The system has thermal in-sulation up to 0.12 W/(moС), which, with a plaster coating thickness of 50 mm and a thermal resistance of the main structure of 1.6-2.0 m2oС/W allows you to obtain a system with a total thermal resistance of up to 2.3 m2oС/W, which fully meets the conditions of comfort or technological requirements.

The paper presents the results of a study of the effect of galvanic sludge on the basic performance properties of special-purpose ceramics. The basis of the composition of the charge is low-plastic clay, and the functional additives in its composition are boric acid and cerium oxide. Ceramics are produced by semi-dry pressing at a pressure of 15 MPa and a maximum firing temperature of 1050 ° C. It has been established that galvanic sludge decomposes into calcium and heavy metal oxides, carbon dioxide and water vapor during firing. The oxides formed during liquid-phase sintering are part of the vitreous phase, functionally modifying its characteristics. When the content of galvanic sludge in the charge is more than 5 wt. % a developed porous structure is formed in the material, which reduces its main operational characteristics. It was revealed that liquid-phase sintering provides safe immobilization of heavy metals if the content of galvanic sludge in the charge does not exceed 6 wt. %. Practical application of the charge composition, including galvanic sludge in an amount up to 5 wt. %, will increase the resistance of ceramics to high temperatures, temperature changes, acids and alkalis. The use of galvanic sludge in this area will contribute to solving the environmental problem of its processing.

The paper presents the results of experiments on the production of a composite material using small-lump wood waste based on soft wood varieties and waste products from non-plasticized polyvinyl chloride. An additional component of the raw material mixture was methylene chloride, in which polymer waste was dissolved. The solution was mixed with the filler, and then the solvent was pressed and removed at its boiling point. It is established that an increase in the degree of filling of the studied material contributes to the formation of a developed porous structure. The effect of increased porosity on the main operational properties, primarily thermal conductivity and water resistance, has been revealed. It is determined that the degree of filling, equal to 55 wt. %, makes it possible to obtain a material with the most effective combination of values of basic properties for use as a building thermal insulation. The practical application of the results of the work makes it possible to produce a low-cost thermal insulation material due to the joint disposal of heterogeneous waste.

Radiative cooling is an innovative and highly promising passive cooling technology that allows surfaces to dissipate heat via infrared radiation directly into the cold outer space. Unlike traditional cooling methods that require an external energy source, radiative cooling operates autonomously, offering a sustainable and energy-efficient alternative for temperature control. This natural process has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its potential to mitigate the growing energy demands associated with air conditioning and refrigeration, which contribute significantly to global energy consumption and environmental degradation.

A study was conducted on the development of filler compositions based on heat-treated phosphogypsum for the production of paints and varnishes with luminescent ability. In the course of the study, it was revealed that the reduced phosphogypsum, which exhibits the properties of an ultraviolet pigment, can be used to produce paints and varnishes based on colorless varnish XB-784. When using a colorless varnish and synthesized ultraviolet pigment, paint and varnish materials can be obtained that form almost transparent coatings and have a luminescent ability. The introduction of unreconstructed phosphogypsum as a filler increases the covering capacity of paint coatings. Non-reduced heat-treated phosphogypsum as a filler does not give a luminescent glow under the influence of UV irradiation, however, it increases the hiding power of the material and enhances the luminescent ability of the UV pigment.

The article discusses the use of simplex methods of experiment planning to determine the optimal composition of composite building materials. Composite building materials are multicomponent systems, so their properties depend on a large number of factors that are diverse in nature and influence. The use of orthogonal plans is not able to adequately describe experimental data with a wide range of varying factors. Therefore, the article proposes to use simplex-lattice Scheffe's plans. A complete third-order model was developed to determine the optimal composition of the filled cement composite, and a regression equation was written. The adequacy of the equation was confirmed at the control points of the plan using the Student's criterion. The proposed planning method can be used to optimize the composition of multicomponent systems.
