Implementation of Energy-Saving Innovations as the Main Direction of Development of the Building Materials Industry

The value of the construction industry for green growth of the Russian economy is identified. The structure of the building materials industry, indicators of production volumes, share of exports and imports of construction materials are analysed. The main factors of high energy consumption in the construction industry are formed as a table. Main activities to modernise the building materials industry and “green” growth of the Russian economy as a whole are proposed. The urgency of formation of the mechanism of energysaving innovation application in the construction industry is justified. The methodology of management of the building materials industry development through the introduction of energy-saving innovations is proposed.
