The paper gains relevance by discussing the energy efficiency of buildings and facilities and its key aspects using the example of facade systems. Based on the analysis of scientific publications, the authors note that energy efficiency should be considered during construction engineering, because the energy conservation factors assumed at this stage directly influence the energy performance during construction and operation. The point is made that a comprehensive scientific approach is required to select energy efficient materials and technologies, as materials meeting the energy efficiency and environmental safety requirements at the engineering stage may turn out carcinogenic at the operation stage due to failure to observe the work technology. At the construction stage, energy efficiency should be accomplished by using high-technology work methods. The scientific novelty of the research consists in offering a methodology for selecting energy efficient and environmentally safe construction materials and technologies, in particular, with the use of a computer program. A summary of the methodology is provided including the initial and resulting screen forms of the computer program. The practical relevance consists in adapting the new computer program for selecting energy efficient materials and technologies to make other structural systems of buildings and facilities.
