Abstract
In the paper the issues on the renewable energy and green construction in the Arctic are considered. The authors analyze the premises of the green construction in the Northern territories. They propose that the Arctic could be seen as the innovative platform to test the newest technologies for construction and energy generation. The factors impacted on the industrial development are also researched. The authors assess the modern trends of the Arctic construction sphere using the data on housing development, energy consumption etc. They justify that to increase the production of thermal energy in the northern regions of Russia, the green technologies development is the most profitable and long-term. Moreover, the definition of “green technologies” includes not only wooden construction and solar panels, but also many other quite affordable technologies. In the Conclusions the results of the research are performed, including the recommendations on the green construction development considering the specificity of the Arctic territories.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
