Abstract The article deals with the ecological impacts during a detached house construction and looks for the optimal way of its financing. The aim of the article is to evaluate how much the house construction costs would increase in the case of the use of materials, which production generates smaller volume of negative emissions. The issue of the environment in relation to ecological construction has been widely discussed in recent years. The construction industry burdens the environment already by the production of building materials, extraction of raw materials, energy consumption, through designing activities and construction itself, to the phase of the building use and its eventual liquidation. There are six basic requirements for building materials used in construction, which are required for the quality environmentally friendly construction: the statics and stability of buildings must be provided, noise protection, fire safety, hygienic safety and reduced environmental impact must be met, buildings must provide safe use and well-being, and last but not least energy efficiency. Already in the structure construction phase, it is necessary to consider the appropriate selection of building materials, for which it is necessary to take into account ecological criteria. Appropriate selection of building materials results in a positive effect on the environment. When optimizing the total cost of building a detached house from an ecological point of view, the procedure consists in replacing the most cost-effective items in the construction budget by alternative materials with regard to ecology. When choosing alternative materials, maintaining the standard of the brick building and the aesthetic character of the house are taken into account. When comparing the budgets of both variants, it was found out that a detached house built using alternative, more environmentally friendly materials, resulted more expensive. However, the price difference is slight. Own housing can be financed in several ways. One option is to use your resources. However, this method is currently unrealistic for most people, and therefore they often choose the option of combining their resources with external sources. The most commonly used products for housing financing are building savings loans and mortgage loans. Another possibility is to use subsidy programmes for housing to finance the house, which are often focused on supporting ecological construction and housing.

Abstract On the road to sustainable development, the concepts of energy saving and environmental protection are deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and their technology has penetrated into all aspects of life. Like the construction industry, with the advancement of environmental protection and energy-saving technologies, the prospects for development will also be huge. Many materials used in construction projects can cause pollution. Although environmental protection technology is supported, its technology cannot remain unchanged. Technical researchers must reduce the risks of materials and continue to innovate and develop environmentally friendly technologies. Only in this way can we continue to make progress, ensure that we have a high-quality construction project, and ensure that energy conservation is consistent with social development. Therefore, to use the qualified construction methods adopted for the renovation project, you can use what you have now and ensure its ecological and human safety. Reduce material costs and reduce environmental pollution caused by indoor raw materials. As a basic framework, it combines the definitions of modern environmental protection and energy-saving technologies, and effectively applies environmental protection and energy efficiency technologies. Decoration and decoration of energy-efficient buildings. Adopt environmental protection technology, rationally use various energy-saving and environmental-friendly materials, and raise awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection. In addition, in-depth discussion and analysis of energy-saving management of building materials and equipment are also conducted. The goal is to improve the awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection in building decoration projects and lay a solid foundation for creating an environmentally friendly and energy-saving living environment. Experimental research results show that people do not know enough about the application of environmental protection and energy-saving technologies in building decoration projects. Therefore, we must increase publicity to let people know better, and we must also increase efforts to innovate in order to better implement and apply. People and regions have better development.

Sustainability is a crucial issue since the last decade as the building sector, directly or indirectly cause a considerable portion of the annual environmental deterioration. Due to increase in houses’ demand, leading to consumption of more resources, energy and raw materials which are directly responsible for the rise in carbon content in air and which are harmful to human health and environment. To overcome these various environmental impacts, we need to build with more sustainable materials which will reduce the impacts on environment. Design of a building is essential and it becomes crucial when we talk about affordable housing. [1] India needs not only affordable housing, but also homes that are energy efficient and designed using sustainable techniques. The green buildings design should thus begin with the use and selection of eco-friendly materials with related or better features than traditional building materials. [2] The paper aims at sustainable development in affordable high-rise buildings with fast track techniques and procedures to reduce overall time and cost of the project.

The Impact

Implementation of "Green Building" in construction is the responsibility of all parties involved in the construction project. The Office of the Federal Environment Executive (OFEE) defines green buildings or green buildings as “the practice of increasing the efficiency by which buildings and their sites use energy, air, and materials, and reducing the impact of buildings on health and the environment, through better siting, design work. construction, operation and removal - maintenance of the complete building life cycle. (Kubba, 2017). At the planning and implementation stage of a construction project the selection of building materials or materials must be precise but also efficient. The concept of eco-efficiency was introduced in 1991 by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development - WBCSD and includes “the development of competitively priced products and services that meet the needs of the quality of human life, while progressively reducing impact on the environment and consumption of raw materials throughout the life cycle accordingly. with the capacity that is on planet earth. "This concept means producing more products with less resources and less waste, and therefore this concept has less impact on the environment. Then it is necessary to assess all the environmental impacts caused by the extraction of raw materials from the start of the material being given (cradle) to the end of its service life (tomb). The research objective is to develop environmentally friendly materials for problem solving materials, electricity and plumbing. The results of the analysis show that the mechanical, electrical, and piping materials used in the Maranatha Sport Center project have not met the 7 overall environmentally friendly criteria for the material-life-span stage, however, each material used has the main green criteria that have been self-declared by each. -Each material manufacturer.

The purpose of these studies is to justify the feasibility of recycling different types of industrial waste instead of conventional expensive raw materials in production of environmentally friendly aerated concrete with required construction and operational properties. The impact of wastes from various industries on the environmental condition of affected areas, as well as the results of their environmental assessment were analyzed to determine whether these wastes could be used in production of high-performance building materials. The assessment of industrial wastes in aerated concrete production suggests that industrial wastes of hazard class IV can be recycled to produce aerated concrete. An environmentally friendly method for large-scale waste recycling, including a two-step environmentally sustainable mechanism, was developed. The basic quality indicators of the modified aerated concrete proved that the environmental safety could be enhanced by strengthening the structure, increasing its uniformity and improving thermal insulation properties. The modified non-autoclaved aerated concrete products with improved physical and operational properties were developed. They have the following properties: density – D700; class of concrete – B3.5; thermal transmittance coefficient – 0.143 W/(m·°C); frost resistance – F75.

Abstract. The new transdisciplinary science of geonics (geomimetics) is the theoretical basis for designing construction composites from fragments of destroyed buildings and structures. Technogenic and natural anomalies, military conflicts on planet Earth lead to destruction of cities. Utilization of fragments of destroyed buildings and structures for the production of building materials is relevant. The classification and scheme of using fragments of destroyed buildings and structures to obtain crushed stone, sand, solutions and concretes based on them is proposed. The densest packaging is calculated using the method of selecting high-density filler packaging developed at BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov. The results are tested on the raw materials of destroyed buildings and structures in Iraq, which consist mainly of reinforced concrete, ceramic bricks and limestone blocks. The presence of binder particles that are not fully hydrated in the concrete scrap, which are subsequently hydrated and participate in the curing of the composite with the formation of an additional number of crystalline neoplasms, and also accelerates the hardening of cement stone and increases the final strength of the material. Subsequently, in the previously created structure, as a result of continuing hydration, a new type of system parts is formed, organized in a certain way, due to the crystallization growth of pico -, nano - and micro-sized high-base calcium hydrosilicates, depending on the degree of hydration of concrete scrap. The following crystallization of previously formed phases leads to self-sealing of different parts of the system and their further self-organization, which ensures high final strength and water resistance of the material. This hydration mechanism gives a concrete structure with minimal internal stresses and volume deformations. The article discusses the methodology for the selection of high-density packing of aggregate from concrete scrap in the destroyed building and construction of Iraq. It is shown that the strength of the obtained samples with compacted aggregate is 31.3 % higher than that of samples prepared in the traditional way.

Abstract Ruins are a statement on the building materials used and the construction method employed. Casa Ippolito, now in ruins, is typical of seventeenth-century Maltese aristocratic country residences. This paper scrutinises these ruins as a primary source in reconstructing the building’s architecture. The methodology involved on-site geographical surveying, including visual inspection and non-invasive tests, a geological survey of the local lithostratigraphy, and examination of notarial deeds and secondary sources to support findings about building’s history as read from its ruins. The results are expressed from three perspectives. The anatomy of Casa Ippolito is revealed in its ruins, which provide a cross-section of its construction history and show two distinct phases in its construction. The tissue of Casa Ippolita – the building elements and materials – addresses the knowledge of raw materials and their properties among the builders who worked on both phases. Finally, the geoheritage of Casa Ippolito – how it met its inhabitants’ needs for shelter, water and food – is examined. The case study aims to show that such ruins are not just geocultural remains of historical built fabric. They are open wounds in the built structure; they underpin the anatomy of the building and support insights into its former dynamics. Ruins are an essay in the geoheritage of material culture and building physics. Architectural ruins of masonry structures are geoheritage rendered in stone which facilitate not only the reconstruction of spaces but also places for its users; they are a statement on the well-being of humanity throughout history.

Wood is widely used in a construction both in the form of integral components and as a part of various products or wood filled composites. However, while using wood in the production of building materials, it is necessary to consider a set of factors, as along with the valuable properties (low average density, ease of handling, etc.) it has a number of negative qualities, which complicate production of construction materials of desirable quality. The results of researches of thermal modification of wood raw materials in production of construction materials are provided in the article. It is established that as the result of change of chemical composition of thermo wood treated at temperatures of 453 K - 493 K, the water carrying out function of material decreases, despite considerable reduction of density. Besides in case of increase in the heat treatment value of wetting angle grows by 25%, and equilibrium humidity of wood decreases. Thus, the results of the conducted researches give the chance to obtain the environmentally friendly wood filled construction materials with low water absorption and hygroscopicity that allows assuming a possibility of creation of materials with the raised operational characteristics.
