A bill will be submitted to the State Duma to remove the requirements for sunbathing (natural lighting of residential buildings – note from socialbites.ca). The newspaper reports this “News”.
The authors of the document believe that sunbathing rules are outdated, the publication said. Timur Abdullaev, head of the architectural bureau Archinform, former chief architect of Yekaterinburg and professor of the International Academy of Architecture, stated that current construction regulations require houses to be built with a certain level of sunlight, as it has an antimicrobial effect. However, according to the drafters of the law, Russians can solve this problem with the help of air conditioners and ultraviolet lamps.
But his colleague, architect-developer Sergei Stankevich, founder of Stankevich.design bureau and architectural brand DOMKO, believes that now many construction standards are out of date. Due to solar requirements, developers are forced to increase the distance between houses and the cost of housing. According to the expert, abandoning these standards will allow the construction of non-standard buildings.
Also Senator Alexander Bashkin criticized The idea of removing sunbathing standards is a reminder of the importance of natural light for health. He noted that sun exposure produces hormones and vitamin D.
At DOM.RF at the beginning of March said on the development of “green” financial instruments in construction.
Previously in Russia planned cancel thousands of Soviet GOSTs.
