PROSPECTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF GREEN BUILDINGS
Population growth with simultaneous urbanization leads to the need for the development of the human living environment in conditions of increasing stress on all systems of urban life. The importance of the environment should not be underestimated, since water consumption and energy supply are directly related to natural resources and their quality. One of the promising areas of development of the construction sector is the transition to eco-construction, which implies saving resources during the operation of buildings, as well as the use of environmentally friendly materials and technologies with a minimum amount of waste during construction. The article discusses methods for assessing the environmental friendliness of construction, as well as their advantages in terms of environmental impact. The authors explore examples of international environmental certification systems and provide their characteristics. As a result, the study substantiates the advantages of eco-houses compared to conventional buildings and provides examples of environmentally friendly buildings that already exist in the world at the moment.
