The article considers a material based on a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE film). Due to the fact that the variety of roofing and facade transparent materials in modern construction is quite large, the justification of energy-efficient material is possible with an integrated approach. Technical parameters of the building envelope, the comparative analysis of the translucent roofing materials studied applications in the global construction, studied the market of material and draw conclusions about the relevance and effectiveness of the design.
