ABSTRACT
An adequate idea on the mechanisms of energy interaction between the surroundings and the building envelope components at microscopic level is of crucial importance for the development of construction science. This is so, since the plausible assessment of the running energy-exchange processes stimulates the development of new design strategies, the introduction of new and intelligent structural materials, and the employment of advanced electronics and automatics in civil engineering. Hence, one can erect various buildings (residential, public, and commercial), while such constructional activity was unconceivable decades ago.
