Abstract

The adverse effects of the construction from the perspective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions are becoming increasingly important in terms of sustainable development and the growth of construction output. Construction actors involved in the process of creating buildings are responsible for the deterioration of the environmental situation. Flexible tools to motivate construction participants to actively and purposefully decarbonize construction and maintain the production and use of low-carbon technologies should be established. Multilevel institutional tools for regulating extended responsibility of construction participants through organizational and economic incentives for low-carbon design and construction and optimization of building design solutions are presented in the article. Recommendations are also provided to improve the environmental safety of construction, including the establishment of the of low-carbon certification institute for developers, based on a cost estimate of the carbon impact of buildings used in the development of compensatory and incentive measures. The proposed methodological aspects of rational low-carbon design and construction of buildings with minimal carbon footprint will allow to formulate the basic principles of functioning of the low-carbon certification institute of builders as a tool to improve their bid competitiveness.
