This article provides a brief description of the climate, resources, and problems of energy supply, construction and operation of the Arctic zone. Harsh climatic conditions significantly complicate the development of infrastructure and the development of resources. In recent decades, there has been a decrease in the population of the Arctic zone due to negative migration and a decrease in the rate of natural increase. Active exploration and development of the Arctic zone is hampered by numerous socio-economic problems of the territory, the lack of a centralized energy supply, and a high level of unemployment. To solve these problems, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for people to live and attract the able-bodied population. The problem of energy supply to decentralized areas can be partially solved by using the generated thermal energy in the process of mining. The authors proposed the concept of utilization of thermal energy of production for the energy supply of buildings. As examples of enclosing structures for prefabricated buildings in hard-to-reach areas, a multilayer panel with an air gap and a hemisphere house made of three-layer panels mounted on a metal frame are given. The given structures of buildings reduce the resource intensity of construction and fully comply with the heat and power requirements for buildings. The paper presents the results of thermotechnical calculation of a fragment of a wall made of a multilayer panel with an air gap.
