The article is dedicated to the development of additive technologies, using 3D frames from concrete bags, for the formation of energy-efficient housing structures with a positive energy balance. The advantages of lining 3D-laminated shells with highly efficient thermal insulation materials (PU, ecowool, mineral wool, EPS) in the context of reduced heat loss, increased energy efficiency and fluidity wakefulness. A three-tier research methodology is described - laboratory testing, digital modeling (Revit, Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Energy Plus) and implementation on a real everyday life with the parameters of the future. The robot examines current approaches to the development of modern 3D technology as one of the promising directions for the post-war renovation of the housing stock of Ukraine. It has been shown that the use of additive technologies makes it possible to significantly speed up the work cycle, reduce the wastage of materials, increase the level of automation of everyday processes and ensure flexibility architectural and planning solutions. Particular attention is paid to ensuring energy efficiency through the integration of thermal insulation materials into the structure of 3D-laminated wall elements, as well as the integration of structural systems from renewed energy sources. The results of the study of the optimal technological parameters of 3D frames, the terms of pressing concrete mixes for 3DPC, the thermal insulation characteristics of wall elements, the modeling of the generation of electrical energy from solar panels are presented. Power station with a varied number of solar panels, technical and economic efficiency of 3D technology compared to traditional technology. Optimal parameters for the hand process have been established, ranging from the relationship between the height of the ball and the diameter of the printer nozzle, the fluidity of the hand and the characteristics of inter-ball adhesion. The results of experimental studies of thermal insulation authorities of various types of insulation materials were compiled and the most effective design solutions were identified to meet the Energy+.
