Regulating the Development of Low-Carbon Economy in Construction and Housing and Municipal Facilities

Abstract
The article studies problems dealing with the development of low-carbon economy in construction and housing and municipal facilities. Topicality of the subject is connected with implementation of key provisions of the Strategy of Social and Economic Development in the Russian Federation dealing with low level of green-house gas emission up to 2050 (2020). The aim of the research is to elaborate methods of low-carbon economy through stimulating power savings in construction and operation of buildings, using innovation structures and materials at the expense of trading in quotas on green-house gas emissions, introducing climatic taxation, setting-up climatic foundations and supporting power-saving projects. The author puts forward a project of low-carbon economy development on the basis of power-efficiency in operating buildings and constructions. As a criterion of such project realization we can consider ecologically corrected net discounted profit with regard to savings in fuel and power resources and cut in green-house gas emissions. A new standard was worked out to recalculate economized power through using power-efficient construction materials in operating buildings and cut in CO2emissions. Power-efficiency of houses was estimated based on territories of industrial zones in Moscow, which showed a reduction in approximately 2.6 tons of CO2 per 1,000 m2 of housing area. The article offers economic tools to regulate climatic projects, including concessional taxation of power-efficient buildings, subsidizing interest rates in crediting in the field of power- and resource-saving.
