Large-scale energy facilities occupy a significant place in the structure of Russia’s million-plus cities. In addition to electricity and heat, they generate a substantial amount of secondary production by-products, which are currently, quite literally, being wasted. This article examines the issues of organizing Integrated Energy Complexes (IECs) based on the utilization of energy from CHP plant by-products. The integration of the functions of an energy-generating facility and consumer facilities leads not only to the transformation of CHP structures but also dictates a unified approach to the organization of an IEC, which determines the character of its architecture. As a result of innovative infrastructure developments – specifically, schemes for the transmission and distribution of secondary resources – the challenges of urban planning, as well as the structural, volumetric-spatial, and layout solutions for the IEC, are addressed.
