Possible solutions for reconstruction of residential buildings of standard series are considered. The analysis of studies on the reconstruction of buildings in the world practice is conducted. The existing methods of technical and economic assessment of the effectiveness of the reconstruc tion of apartment buildings are analyzed. Using the example of the housing stock of the Tambov region, a study of the values of the technical and economic indicators of the space-planning solution of the building was carried out; the cost estimation of recons truction with the construction of superstructures or extensions to the building was made in order to find the most optimal solution. In modern conditions, in conditions of an increasing volume of physical and moral depreciation of the country’s outdated housing stock, an urgent direction in solving the housing problem is the reconstructi on of residential buildings of the first mass series. Demolition and reconstruction of “Khrushchevka apartments” is a difficult task, both due to its scale and due to the technical complexity of its solution [1]. The experience of reconstruction of th e existing housing stock with the use of new technologies indicates the possibility of obtaining additional comfortable housing with lower financial costs than would require new construction [2].

In this regard, an attempt was made to analyze possible options for the reconstruction of residential buildings for the conditions of the Tambov region from the standpoint of optimizing its cost. The analysis of the existing methods of technical and economic assessment of the effectiveness of the reconstruction of residential buildings shows that the assessment of the effectiveness of th e reconstruction of multi-apartment residential buildings of the existing stoc k is usually carried out on the basis of two aspects: determining the rela tive (comparative) effectiveness of reconstruction in comparison with new construction and the economic efficiency of the invested capital for a specific construction project. For this purpose, methods are used to determin e the national economic and financial efficiency. The system of indicators of national economic efficiency allows for a comprehensive assessment of economic efficiency, taking into account the social consequences and costs associated with social measures. The system of indicators is based on determining the relative technical and economic efficiency of the reconstruction of a residential building and reflects the ratio of the entire complex of costs associated w ith the reconstruction, and the results that are achieved as a result of constr uction, installation and repair work. The search for cost-optimal solutions in the field of reconstruction of residential buildings presupposes taki ng into account the modern experience of holding such events. When solving this problem, two main approaches can be distinguished: “surgical” and “therapeutic”. The “therapeutic” approach presupposes, first of all, the restructuring of buildings (changing the number of floors, erecting “built-in” buildings, adding loggias and elevators, etc.). The “surgical” approach implies the demolition of buildings and the erecti on of new buildings on the vacated territory. This method of renovation can be justified only in case of dilapidated buildings or extreme high cost of land, which is relevant mainly for the capital region. An interesting experience in the r econstruction of residential buildings is in Germany in the light of the concept of increasing the comfort and prestige of the residents’ living conditions [3]. In general, an analysis of the existing experience in the field of renovation of residential buildings abroad indicates that: – construction of standard residentia l buildings of mass series was carried out in more than 20 European countries; – no country in the world has demolished typical residential buildings of industrial housing construction; – Western European countries have accumulated extensive experience in solving organizational and technol ogical problems of reconstruction of buildings of the first mass series; – in foreign countries, the work is organized with residents of buildings subject to reconstruction, headquarters are created for collective discussion by citizens of the problems of reconstruction of their own homes; – the foreign experience of the recons truction indicates that the sources of financing for the reconstruction of r esidential buildings can be both the state budget and the funds of investors, and the funds of the residents of the buildings being reconstructed

In modern foreign language teaching, a variety of approaches is used to meet the learners’ needs in acquiring language skills for professional communication. One of them is Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), an innovative language teaching method that comb ines learning a foreign language and profession-related content. In this paper, we describe the experience of designing a course in English for students of Biomedical Engineering with elements of the CLIL approach. A theoretical foundation for implementing CLIL within the competency-based approach is pr ovided. The core principles of CLIL are discussed. The paper focuses on the course design and its structure as well the main requirements to selecting the learning materials. The examples of sample tasks and activities for the course are presented
