Installation of air conditioners on the facade of the building is carried out everywhere, greatly changing the appearance of buildings. However, many owners do not know that there are laws that determine the rules for placing air conditioners on the facades.
Air conditioning bans
For example, in St. Petersburg, it is necessary to obtain permission to install an air conditioner on the facade with the Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture. The Government Decree prohibits the installation of outdoor elements of air conditioners:
- on the front facades of buildings;
- on the facades of buildings inside the courtyard, if they are of cultural or historical value;
- over walkways;
- on walls with decorative processing, elements of architecture;
- in the openings of windows or doors without the use of decorative fences.
When choosing a place to install the air conditioner on the facade of the house, you need to consult with the architect and find out if you need permission to install the air conditioner.
Matching the air conditioner on the facade
The easiest way is to obtain permission to install an air conditioner on the facade of a residential apartment building located in the courtyard, the regulations here are not so severe.
And it is very difficult to determine the place and coordinate the installation on the front facades in the historical parts of the cities. If the building has historical and cultural value, additional permission must be obtained from the KGIOP. Such cases are considered individually.
Often, when choosing a place to place an air conditioner on the facade, the owners are guided only by technical interests: ease of access, convenience of laying the track. However, if architectural features are not taken into account, no permits will be received.
Therefore, you must first agree on the installation and only after that carry out installation work.
The permission to install on the facade of the house is called the Task for the placement of additional equipment for facades.
It is valid for 12 months, after which renewal is required once a year. As permission it is necessary to use the Architectural and planning task.
Installing an air conditioner on a ventilated facade
Owners of buildings with ventilated facades in the central streets are faced with two problems: obtaining permission to install an air conditioner on the facade of the building and installation techniques.
We have already talked about obtaining permission. As for the installation, it has certain technological subtleties and order. Therefore, you can trust the installation of an air conditioner on a ventilated facade only to companies specializing in such works.
Illiterate installers can not only ruin the appearance of the building, but also violate the insulation of the facade. The cost of installing an air conditioner on a ventilated facade will be slightly more expensive than usual.
