For the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), effective thermal insulation of buildings is imperative for human comfort and for reducing the leakage of heat through the envelope. To design such insulation, one needs to duly consider the microclimatic specifics in the context of an extreme continental climate. Climate-induced leakage of heat through the envelope results in heat and electricity waste; such leakage is non-acceptable by modern standards. Demand for energy-efficient housing is rising. Thus, improving the thermal insulation of structures is a relevant issue.
