Abstract

Republic of North Macedonia is a seismic prone country with a long tradition and positive experience in the field of seismic design of new and strengthening of the existing buildings up to pre-defined levels of seismic protection. The principal seismic design philosophy which is stipulated in the regulations is based on protection of human lives against strong earthquakes and partially on controlled damage due to the so called frequent earthquakes. The current construction practice generally target only one of the seven basic work requirements for construction works defined in Construction Products Regulation (CPR, 2011) i.e. mechanical resistance and stability. Starting from 2013, when the first national regulation for energy performance of the building was issued, there are some positive initiatives/examples at national and local scale. These initiatives encompassed building capacities in construction sector in order to provide competent and qualified national workforce, necessary for achievement of national energy efficiency targets; launching the energy efficiency programs for public buildings at municipality level (pilot-project), research experimental program for developing innovative technology for earthquake resistant and energy efficiency buildings, etc. However, till today there is no integrated methodology which will target simultaneously earthquake resistance and eco-efficiency of the existing building stock in the country.

摘要

北马其顿共和国是一个地震多发国家，在新建筑物的抗震设计和加强现有建筑物的抗震设计领域具有悠久的传统和积极的经验，达到预定的抗震水平。规定中规定的主要抗震设计理念是基于保护人类生命免受强烈地震的影响，部分基于所谓的频繁地震造成的受控破坏。目前的建筑实践通常只针对建筑产品法规 (CPR, 2011) 中定义的建筑工程的七项基本工作要求之一，即机械阻力和稳定性。从 2013 年第一个国家建筑能效法规发布开始，在国家和地方层面都有一些积极的举措/例子。这些举措包括建设建筑部门的能力建设，以提供有能力和合格的国家劳动力，这是实现国家能源效率目标所必需的；启动了市级公共建筑节能项目（试点项目）、开发抗震和节能建筑创新技术的研究试验项目等。然而，直到今天，还没有一个综合的方法可以同时针对抗震和节能建筑。该国现有建筑存量的生态效率。
