Abstract

The article is dedicated to one of the most essential areas in the construction industry: consideration of the issues related to resource saving, ecologically and economically rational use of natural resources in accordance with “green standards” of the commercial property buildings, offices, in particular. During the operation of office buildings there takes place negative impact on all the components of the environment. Herewith, the first issues considered by the operating organizations are the cost of the facility, safety of technological processes, reliability, durability and operational characteristics, and only then the issues of building environmental friendliness and energy efficiency, the consequences of which are irrational use of natural resources and accumulation of environmental damage. The number of existing systems certifying “green” buildings is insufficient to create a stable human environment. Formation of the resource saving mechanism during the operation of office buildings requires the application of the “green” standards criteria, making it possible to provide results of the stable approaches during the entire operational lifetime of the building. Based on the local and foreign experience in resource saving stimulation under the “green standards” the article provides the estimation criteria making it possible to implement the ecological and economic evaluation of the resource saving mechanism during the operation of office buildings.

Highlights

Green construction dates back to the 70s of the past centuries, when the idea of conservation and ethic attitude towards natural resources became popular.The so-called “green construction” was the result of ecologists and architects’ unification [1,2].“Green construction is the area including the construction and operation of the buildings with minimal impact on the environment

Summary

Introduction

Green construction dates back to the 70s of the past centuries, when the idea of conservation and ethic attitude towards natural resources became popular. “Green construction is the area including the construction and operation of the buildings with minimal impact on the environment. The main task of green construction is to reduce the level of energy and materials consumption during the entire operational life of the building: from the selection of the site till the design, construction, operation and demolition.”. The main reason for these problems is the absence of a unified tool regulating and controlling resource consumption and, the absence of the stimulus to implement the required measures. The construction and operation of the objects under “green” standards become the most efficient way of introduction and verification of the solutions for resource saving, ecologically and economically rational use of natural resources
