Abstract

Within the framework of the concept of sustainable development, issues of energy efficiency, environmental safety, minimization of anthropogenic impact on the environment are of particular relevance. In construction, these theses are projected onto the segment of energy-efficient, “green” construction. Nowadays, the development of energy-efficient construction in Russia is progressing at a slow pace, and this is primarily due to the lack of an integrated energy management system, environmental certification of construction products, and institutional features of the real estate market. The authors systematized the methods of improving energy efficiency and greening of construction regarding the types of real estate, analyzed the main global and Russian environmental certification systems in construction, identified the features, advantages and disadvantages of each system, substantiated the need to ensure the generally accepted Russian certification system. The problem of enhancing energy-efficient construction is also interconnected with the need to increase the level of innovation in construction, which is substantiated by the authors in the paper. The authors substantiated the need to change the criteria for monitoring investment projects, taking into account the optimization of energy efficiency and environmental performance of real estate.

Highlights

  • A key aspect in the projection of creating physical capital for sustainable development is ensuring the quality of construction products, and, according to the opinion of leading scientists [1], this is the quality of both final and intermediate products

  • It should be noted that the life cycle of construction products is long enough, which leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to take into account the quality of operation of the constructed real estate

  • Based on European building codes Object life cycle assessment Accounting for technical equipment and economic efficiency Flexible and balanced assessment methodology Easy to adapt to the Russian NTD system Comprehensive assessment of the OLC efficiency Accounting for the realities of the Russian Federation Based on European building codes Compatibility with Russian needs Adaptability and flexibility of the assessment system Certification by an independent auditor Possibility of certification of buildings in operation Accounting for the realities of a specific project Great attention to environmental friendliness The presence of a criterion for choosing a building site, as well as the existence of measures to protect the natural environment during construction Consideration of country specifics of the Russian Federation and its NTD

Summary

Introduction

A key aspect in the projection of creating physical capital for sustainable development is ensuring the quality of construction products, and, according to the opinion of leading scientists [1], this is the quality of both final and intermediate products. It should be noted that the life cycle of construction products is long enough, which leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to take into account the quality of operation of the constructed real estate. In our opinion, the following should be attributed to the criteria of “green” construction: rational use of resources, minimizing the impact on the environment, ensuring safe healthy conditions for humans. It is the combination of the three criteria that gives the project the right to be called a “green” construction project
