IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY OF URBAN SYSTEMS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON THE BASIS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article analyzes the main aspects of green building implementation as an element of promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals and improving the environmental safety of urbanized systems. The article highlights the sustainable development goals on which green building has a direct or indirect impact, indicating the criteria for improving the environment, promoting resource conservation and energy efficiency. Today, the construction industry in Ukraine is one of the largest polluters of the environment, along with industrial enterprises and transportation. That is why the issue of minimizing the construction industry's impact on the environment is relevant. To determine the real impact of a building on the environment, it is proposed to use innovative methods, such as life cycle analysis, which is a systematic approach to assessing the environmental and social impact of a building throughout its life, including design, construction, operation, and reconstruction/demolition. This analysis helps to determine the optimal construction solutions, taking into account the requirements of biosphere compatibility and sustainable development. The article describes the main advantages of green building. Green buildings use energy-efficient technologies and materials that help reduce emissions of harmful substances into the air and water. This helps to reduce environmental pollution and improve air quality. Green buildings often use solar panels, wind turbines, and other sources of renewable energy to help reduce dependence on fossil fuel consumption and ensure a stable energy supply. Green buildings aim to reduce the consumption of natural resources, such as water and wood, through the implementation of efficient resource management systems and the use of recycled materials. Green building can contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure, such as efficient water supply, sewerage and urban transport systems, which ensures the sustainable functioning of urbanized systems. The article highlights the main concepts that contribute to improving environmental safety and achieving sustainable development goals: the use of energy-efficient materials and technologies, the use of renewable energy sources, reducing the consumption of natural resources, and promoting the development of sustainable infrastructure in urbanized systems. The author highlights the limited legal, regulatory and legislative framework for the implementation of green building as one of the elements for further analysis of the possibility of implementing European standards in state legislation.
