Abstract

In this article the author analyzes the values of per-capita housing supply, the main parameters of living environments that describe their comfort, and the criteria of comfortable living in housing accommodations developed by the author. He has analyzed the current legislation and recommendations of non-governmental organizations concerning the classification of housing accommodations by the level of their comfort. The author has conducted comparative analyses of the main Russian and European parameters of energy consumption and thermal comfort in housing accommodations. The author has set guidelines to identify good living conditions: a comfortable housing accommodation and its location, norms of per-capita housing space, indoor climate (firstly, thermal comfort), availability and quality of infrastructure. The author believes that living conditions are good when the two components are in place: the availability of comfortable accommodation, utilities, social and transport infrastructure. He has formulated the definition of comfortability of living environments, comfortability of housing accommodations and comfortable living conditions as viewed by families and single residents. The author has developed the main criteria of comfortable living conditions for a family. According to the author, a family owns a comfortable accommodation or leases low-rent municipal accommodations; the accommodation has, at least, 18 m2 for each family member who occupies one family room; the apartment has, at least, 2 bathrooms. The author believes that living conditions in single-family houses and apartment houses can be comfortable, discomfortable and non-comfortable. The author lists 6 levels of living conditions for Russian residents and the criteria for this breakdown. This article supplements the method of integrated residential property management applied in our country.
