Air pollution emissions are released from both natural and anthropogenic sources. During the environment pollution researching and monitoring the special attention should be paid to the construction operations, since during the construction processes many pollutants are released, especially fine dust particles, which are harmful to the health of construction workers and the population living near the construction site. The construction of any object in urban terrain has bad influence not only on the nearby buildings and city infrastructure, but on the existing environment of urban areas. The identification of the important pollution sources that contribute to ambient concentrations of pollutants is essential for developing an effective air quality management plan during building construction. Particular attention should be paid to emissions of fine particles during technological processes of construction with a special degree of dust emission. Control and regulation of the dynamic state of dispersed systems released during technological construction processes using a number of protective measures will reduce emissions of pollutants into the air. The objects of this research were the construction site and residential buildings of a large residential complex «Ekaterininskiy» located in Rostov-on-Don. The obtained measurement data as a result of this type of environmental monitoring showed the level of atmospheric air pollution from the construction industry using the example of the construction of the residential complex “Ekaterininskiy” in Rostov-onDon. After analyzing the situation with dust pollution the protective measures were suggested.

As we enter 21st century, the environmental problem is increasingly prominent. Chinese urban residence construction stands in the transition period of sustainable development. How to realize low energy consumption, long service life and high quality of residence becomes a subject to be solved in Chinese residence construction in new era. For China's traditional residential design and construction method formed as a linear process and single data feedback as well as great loss of information in design, the residential quality and properties have not only been unimproved, but have also led to relatively more time and costs spent. This paper introduces a design concept of whole life cycle and points out the traditional design concept and processes of the residence construction must be charged in order to realize its sustainable development. According to the design concept of the whole life cycle, this paper puts forward the residence design principle based on whole life cycle and institutes the residence design processes based on whole life cycle.

"Plug and Play Modular Façade Construction System for Renovation for Residential Buildings." Buildings 11, no. 9 (September 18, 2021): 419. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/buildings11090419.
Full textAbstract:
The present paper focuses on the architectural and constructional features required to ensure that building envelope renovation are safe, functional, and adaptable to the building stock, with particular focus on “plug and play” modular facade construction systems. It presents the design of one such system and how it addresses these issues. The outcome of early-stage functional test with a full-scale mock-up system, as well as its applicability to a real construction project is presented. It is found crucial to obtain high quality information about the status of the existing façade with the use of modern technologies such as topographic surveys or 3D scans and point cloud. Detailed design processes are required to ensure the compatibility of manufacture and installation tolerances, along with anchor systems that deliver flexibility for adjustment, and construction processes adapting standard installation methods to the architectural particularities of each case that may hinder its use or require some modification in each situation. This prefabricated plug and play modular system has been tested by reproducing the holistic methodology and new technologies in the market by means of real demonstrators. When compared to more conventional construction methods, this system achieves savings in a real case of 50% (time), 30% (materials) and 25% (waste), thus achieving significant economic savings.

Full textAbstract:
Building materials, due to their mass and energy-consuming production processes, drastically increase the embodied energy of construction. This study assesses circularity processes for the construction industry with a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a case study located in a large cosmopolitan city. The research concludes that a significant decrease in environmental impacts results from a shift to recycled materials in the construction phase, as well as from changing the landfill disposal method to recycling. In particular, it was found that the use of recycled building materials (such as recycled cement, metal, concrete, or glass) during the construction phase and recycling disposal methods lead to an overall decrease of impact up to 65%. This work also underlines the importance of circularity in renewable energy production systems. In both wind and solar systems, most of the environmental impact caused during the production phase are paid back during the second year of their life due to the energy gains of the renewable energy system. However, the recovery of metal depletion requires 667 years. This result provides evidence of the emerging need for integrating circular processes regarding recycling and reusing materials in construction and also in the energy-generating sector.

Full textAbstract:
Noise pollution from construction sites has become a major problem for major cities with the continued rapid development as well as redevelopment of cities. These construction sites, in particular for new subway systems, are often near to residential and commercial buildings. A better understanding and characterization of noise profiles will be required for project management and planning as well as environmental impact assessment. In this study, instead of using the typical type 1 sound level meters for the measurement of noise profiles emitted from construction equipment and processes commonly done in construction industry, we attempt to characterize the noise profiles of common construction equipment at their respective noise source using an Acoustic Array or Acoustic Camera. The study also highlighted the significant presence of low-frequency noise at construction sites for some construction equipment and processes. This may have some implications for the design of noise barriers at construction sites.

Full textAbstract:
The construction industry is plagued by long cycle times caused by variability in the supply chain. Variations or undesirable situations are the result of factors such as non-standard practices, work site accidents, inclement weather conditions and faults in design. This paper uses a new approach for modelling variability in construction by linking relative variability indicators to processes. Mass homebuilding sector was chosen as the scope of the analysis because data is readily available. Numerous simulation experiments were designed by varying size of capacity buffers in front of trade contractors, availability of trade contractors, and level of variability in homebuilding processes. The measurements were shown to lead to an accurate determination of relationships between these factors and production parameters. The variability indicator was found to dramatically affect the tangible performance measures such as home completion rates. This study provides for future analysis of the production homebuilding sector, which may lead to improvements in performance and a faster product delivery to homebuyers.

At the beginning of the 20th century, urban development in Europe and worldwide was marked by a breakthrough of a new phenomenon in the field of planning and construction – the industrialized housing construction. Residential districts that were constructed in order to meet a massive housing demand determined by intensive urbanization processes have left a significant mark in many European cities. The article analyses residential districts of large-scale construction and circumstances that determined formation of this phenomenon (from ideas to consequences of their implementation). Attention is drawn to crucial political decisions taken by the countries concerned relating to industrialization and promotion of large-scale constructions. A comparative analysis is carried out with a view to determining the scale and characteristics of this phenomenon in various countries. In case of Lithuania, residential complexes and districts of large-scale construction built in six major cities of the country are reviewed, including analysis of their position in the current urban structure, comparison of the size of their territories with that of the towns’ administrative and urbanized areas.

Introduction. Construction production is characterized by special conditions for the production of works, which include the need to organize residential camps at the construction site to ensure balanced working and rest conditions for workers.
Materials and methods. For buildings of residential camps, design standards are provided that reflect not only the requirements common to all buildings and structures, but also take into account their temporary period of operation with possible reuse. The design of the territories of residential towns is also determined by the norms an.rules developed for them. The overhaul of buildings is subject to the same requirements for the organization of construction sites. However, repair and construction work carried out in conditions of dense urban development, in urbanized areas, predetermine an additional set of studies in the field of ensuring safe conditions for the production of repair and construction work in buildings in operation. The organization of the production of capital repairs also has its own characteristics associated with limiting the time they are carried out in an operated building in one shift to minimize the negative impacts from industrial noise on residents, the formation of construction waste, and the movement of vehicles. The purpose of the study is to identify factors that affect the safety of life and work of workers employed in the repair and construction industry, and to develop measures to reduce their impact in the production process.
Results. The result of the research is the proposed toolkit for assessing the factor of tightness of the territory in the design of residential towns for organizing the production process of capital repairs of buildings, taking into account labor safety requirements.
Conclusions. Formalization of requirements for the design and operation of residential camps in the implementation of regional programs for the overhaul of multi-apartment residential buildings is necessary, taking into account the cramped conditions for performing repair and construction processes of varying complexity in operated buildings, without resettling residents, and is harmonized with the requirements for safe working conditions in the process of new construction.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of the construction sector over the years has been marked by the replacement of high thermal inertia mass constructions by increasingly lighter solutions that are subject to greater thermal fluctuations and, consequently, thermal discomfort. To minimize these effects, energy demanding space conditioning technologies are implemented, contributing significantly to the sector’s share of global energy consumption. Enhanced constructive solutions involving phase-change materials have been developed to respond to the constructive thermal inertia loss, influencing buildings’ thermal and energy performance. This work aims to model the evolution of the construction over the last decades to understand to what extent constructive characteristics influence the occupants’ thermal comfort. For this purpose, typical and enhanced solutions representing distinct constructive periods were simulated using the EnergyPlus® software through its graphical interface DesignBuilder® and the thermal comfort of the different solutions was evaluated using the adaptive model for thermal comfort EN16798-1. The main results reveal that more restraining regulatory requirements are indeed mitigating thermal discomfort situations. However, overheating phenomena can rise, creating worrying consequences in the short-medium term. Thus, countries with mild climates such as Portugal, must pay special attention to these effects, which may be aggravated by climate change.

An integral part of managing the construction of investment units is the monitoring of labor productivity using statistical methods in combination with construction software. Such a combination includes a number of methods and modeling, among which is a method for determining the probability of the completion of construction processes based on the recorded mean value of labor productivity and its variations. For investment units consisting of two or more objects, it is necessary to assess the probability of the completion of construction processes related to follow-up activities and which are carried out by the same work crews. Based on the selected probability modeling, the aim of this contribution was to show how statistical methods and software support can contribute to savings in resources, both human and time, in construction production. The aspect is documented in a case study of residential buildings. The Lindeberg–Lévy and Moivre–Laplace theory and the Bernoulli principle were used for mathematical modeling. The CONTEC construction software was applied as the software support. The performed modeling showed a decrease in the mean value of performance for all the processes examined compared to the planned values, except for the implementation of reinforced concrete monolithic structures. For these reasons, the working capacities had to be increased in order to meet construction milestones.

Purpose Compared to the manufacturing industry, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) lacks a clear methodology for its application in the tertiary service. One reason is the difficulties to assess information flow compared to physical flow. Indeed, the use of information flow as a process entry in the LSS method is not well investigated, mainly due to the difficulties in collecting adequate and sufficient data. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the application of LSS in the tertiary service, in particular, real estate development. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on an action research methodology where LSS methodology is applied to solve client-dissatisfaction issue. One of its main causes is found to be the late delivery time. The work describes how the method was applied. Findings LSS is an adequate approach for making well-thought-out improvement in real estate development. Practical implications The work provides an implementation of LSS in real estate development. It also gives new insights into the LSS application in the tertiary service. The work also suggests practical recommendations and solutions to address the main challenges faced by real estate development. Originality/value Construction is governed by many processes that are difficult to identify and, even more, to assess. LSS helps identifying those which create real value for the client.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of safety and assurance of vital human activities in urbanization is one of the most significant backbone concepts of human ecology. The comfort of residential buildings is largely owed to the radiation properties of the construction materials used. Therefore, the radiation-related hygienic support of technological processes and construction procedures is an important issue for the construction industry. Solving problems associated with improving the radiation safety of urbanized complexes depends on implementing legislation in the sphere of limiting human exposure to the impact of naturally occurring radionuclides. The paper presents the results of studies carried out by the authors on the specific activities of naturally occurring radionuclides in the construction materials manufactured and used in the Volgograd region. Through these large-scale studies, it was found out that the construction materials manufactured in the Volgograd region are in compliance with the national legislative and standard requirements; they are referred to as class 1 and can be applied for the construction of residential and public buildings.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative approach to addressing increasing sustainable challenges facing China's built environment which are linked to a diverse range of factors including rapid economic and population growth. The research context includes mass urbanisation in and the Chinese construction industry's attitude towards adopting sustainable construction processes. The focus is placed on examining current on-site construction practices in China which have historically remained largely unchanged; this includes a high reliance on cheap labour accompanied by a substantial material waste. An alternative approach is to increase the uptake of off-site production in China's residential construction industry, however no previous studies have investigated the potential advantages and barriers of this alternative approach. Design/methodology/approach – In collaboration with an industry organisation a survey was completed by 110 construction professionals in China. The questionnaire referred to 21 individual factors relating to their perception about the current and potential future uptake of off-site production in construction processes in China. Findings – The results confirmed the existing level of off-site production in China's urban residential construction industry was relatively low. At present the cast-in-situ method was considered by stakeholders as the most effective approach. The findings also confirmed the benefits of off-site production are not fully understood by the housing construction industry in China. It is argued this knowledge gap reduces the Chinese construction industry's motivation levels when seeking to embrace the off-site production approach and adopt improved sustainable construction practices. Originality/value – This is an original study designed to address a gap in knowledge as there has been no previous research conducted into the use of off-site industrialised process in China. The results provide a valuable insight into the uptake of off-site production in the residential construction industry and will assist stakeholders and policymakers to increase the level of sustainability.

Abstract Construction Industry indicates development of the country and it helps in the economic growth which adds productivity and quality of life of citizens. During the manufacturing and the construction processes, there is use and combustion of fossil fuels which results total 39% of total carbon footprint. So, studying carbon footprint for construction companies becomes very important. Many different studies are carried out with giving number of alternatives to reduce the amount of carbon footprint. However, this research is focused mainly on multi-storeyed residential building in renowned city in India, shows the carbon emissions produced by a construction activity right from the material production to the actual execution process. Different Greenhouse gases contributing carbon footprint were also studied & incorporated. Various activities accounting to emissions were listed and their carbon footprint value (in the form of Carbon Dioxide equivalent) was calculated by bottom-up method. The manufacturing of various construction materials and usage of electricity during execution phases of a building causes very bad impact on the environment. The greatest contributors of the carbon footprint are onsite electricity use and building materials manufacturing. Therefore, use of green concrete, renewable energy, prefabricated construction materials and low emission construction equipment & vehicles can help in reducing the values of Carbon Footprint by the construction industry.

Purpose This essay looks at how various forms of residential tourism or lifestyle migration, produced by people arriving from the cities and territories of the so-called Global North, have triggered complex processes of social-spatial modification in the landscapes and rural environments of Vilcabamba, Ecuador, a small Andean village of approximately 5,000 inhabitants in the southern part of the canton of Loja. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Residential tourism in rural areas is a phenomenon that can be investigated by combining socio-economic studies with spatial analyses to define the specific characteristics of territories and environments affected by this phenomenon. In the case of Vilcabamba, the relationships and conflicts between imaginations, spaces, ecologies and desires have taken the form of a complex “implicit project”, a “palimpsest-project” intended as a set of territorial descriptions, interpretations and transformation actions triggered by a plot featuring migrant tourists, activists, eco-institutions, schools, artisans, intellectuals and artists. Though weakly connected to one another, these subjects nonetheless produce substantially coherent actions. Findings Two main hypotheses are given as: the first is that in particular rural contexts, such as the Andean area around Vilcabamba, dwelling practices and economies related to residential tourism have triggered processes through which these areas have progressively become peripheries to distant metropolitan territories and are reconfigured as sets of specialised places. The second hypothesis is that Vilcabamba and its rural surroundings can be viewed as a particular “contact zone” in which different types of residential tourists and local dwellers interact, together with different economies of tourism. In this case the reference is, on the one hand, to the logics and discourses of the so-called extractive tourism, a concept that describes the processes of “extracting” and converting local cultural characteristics, and “indigenousness”. To support these hypotheses, the result is the construction of a spatial representation of the ways in which specific practices of residential tourism are territorialised, and how they modify the meaning and functioning of rural spaces. Originality/value What is new in the paper is the attempt to define a spatial representation of transnational spaces trying to highlight relationships between extractive tourism and remittance urbanism.

Abstract Political transformations in Poland have led to rapid suburbanization. Suburbias are beginning to develop functions and services characteristic of urban areas. The highest rate of growth is noted in residential development, in particular in the segment of single-family homes. Those developments bring about changes in demographics and social infrastructure. This study analyzes 4,000 real estate transactions conducted in 2007-2014, involving land plots zoned for residential construction, in order to determine the spatial changes that take place in the gminas adjacent to the city of Olsztyn, in view of the development of the local real estate market. The major trends relating to the number of concluded transactions, changes in real estate prices over time, the number of completed construction projects (new single-family homes) and changes in land-use structure are described. Demographic and social changes that inevitably follow from urbanization are described in the analyzed gminas. The results of this study will be used to determine whether Olsztyn’s suburbias are merely “bedroom communities” or whether they constitute autonomous territorial units.

This paper suggests that building information modeling is predominantly aimed at deriving certain economic benefits. The construction schedule is prepared without considering the proper balance in the environment. Due to their complex and diverse nature, construction operations cannot be ideally modeled in terms of environmental sustainability. Still, a reduction of some hazardous impacts is manageable. This paper primarily focuses on the methodology that can be used to calculate the volume of polluting substances emitted during machinery operation. It highlights that during construction of large residential and environmental complexes, when several objects and linear facilities of tens or hundreds kilometers are being built simultaneously, it is especially dangerous to use a fleet of machines and mechanisms. The originality of this paper is underpinned by the conceptually new approach to the environmental basis of the construction processes during building construction. Hazardous emissions are suggested to be calculated using the generally known methodology for determining the maximum amount of technical resources required per shift. Given a known machinery brand, engine capacity and the number of operating shifts of a machine or mechanism, the maximum emission volume can be derived. By comparing the calculation results with the maximum allowable concentrations, the final conclusion can be made regarding the conformity of the construction schedule with the applicable environmental standards.

Ensuring the right of citizens to favorable natural environment depends, first of all, on compliance with environmental standards in usage of land, water, underground and other natural resources, as well as following the rules of green construction processes and rational zoning of urban territories and other residential areas. This study considers main environmental problems in cities in connection with construction processes. At the same time, we also studied organizational legal measures and scientific-theoretical bases of construction activities. In addition, legal assessment and review of zoning issues, greening of construction processes, benefits of developing “green economy,” introduction of low-waste technologies, as well as construction of energy-efficient buildings and housing were carried out. In the context of achieving goals set by the Concept on Environmental Protection of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030, scientific and theoretical foundations for the introduction of environmentally friendly innovative technologies, prevention and reduction of negative impact on the environment, ensuring growth of environmental economics, the application of “green” building standards in construction sphere were developed.

The article is devoted to the issues of ontology, research of the effectiveness and prospects of large-panel and monolithic reinforced concrete construction of residential objects. Increasing demands on the effectiveness of multi-story housing construction determine the relevance of this study. Methodological foundations of substantiation and a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of monolithic and large-panel reinforced concrete multi-story construction are considered; prospects for the development of these housing technologies are justified. The article presents an analysis of the pros and cons of monolithic and large-panel reinforced concrete multi-storey construction of residential buildings, a comparative analysis of the processes of organization and technology of construction works. The problems of large-panel and monolithic construction are ranked according to the level of their materiality, measures to improve construction technologies are proposed. The comparative analysis of cost indicators of monolithic and panel construction on the basis of the data presented in collections of standards of the price of construction is presented. The need to introduce and update the normative documentation having legal force for regulation of the basic provisions of the modern improved large-panel construction is proved. Attention is paid to the design conditions for the manufacture and installation of the monolithic and large-panel multi-storey construction of residential buildings used in the methodological approach. Cases of expediency of comparison on criterion "duration of construction" are analyzed. The article proposes an original methodological approach for evaluating the effectiveness of monolithic and large-panel construction, taking into account the conditions and nature of the uncertainty of the initial data, which will justify the choice of the most effective options for the construction of multi-storey housing construction.

Full textAbstract:
According to the previous research, proper demand forecasting could help construction-related firms in effective planning for future market changes. However, existing market demand forecasting models are somewhat limited, and most of them bear some critical shortcomings. This research aims to develop a forecasting model for the Korean residential construction industry using system dynamics. In developing the market forecasting model, this research uses variables that significantly impact future construction market change. Many of the existing models do not include as many variables as this model, and none of them have considered complex interlocking effects among these variables. This model is also the first model using a system-based approach by looking at the target industry as a ‘one complex system’ rather than focusing on individual variables’ impact on future market changes. By employing system dynamics, it is possible to consider qualitative and quantitative aspects and produce long-term market forecasting results. The developed market forecasting model consists of two main modules, the first being a prediction module for the grassroots construction market and the second for operation and maintenance (O&M) and the demolition market. Sixteen input variables are grouped into four categories: social, economy, regulation, and past market size among over 25 identified variables. The model utilizes a mathematical function system using the designed feedback loops in producing future market forecasts. Based on the validation tests with past market data, it turns out that the model is reliable, with the determination coefficient (R2) being over 0.7 on all tested occasions. According to the model’s forecasting results, the Korean construction market’s size is expected to be 231 billion won in 2015 and 286 billion won in 2030. However, the O&M market’s growth rate is expected to be higher than 180%, which is much bigger than those of the grass-root and demolition markets. Thus, this research model is realistic according to the construction paradigm change. This research is considered one of the pioneering studies in construction market forecasting by employing dynamic inter-relationships among various input variables. Therefore, the market forecasting results can be interpreted as more practical and can provide more insights to the construction industry stakeholders. The model is envisioned to provide the public sector with useful guidelines in preparing future public market supply strategies such as construction budget allocations. It would also be helpful for the private sector to develop more proactive and accurate demand strategies for timely decision-making.

The functioning of the regional operators’ territorial infrastructure of solid municipal waste management revealed a number of problems. The article considers the initial phase of the solid municipal waste management life cycle – the organisation of separate waste collection, which requires joint construction, technological, financial and social solutions, with close cooperation between the state, business and the population. The need to introduce new technologies for the organic waste separate collection, new design solutions in residential buildings under construction for the solid municipal waste separate collection has been noted. In order to monitor waste management processes, coordinate and make decisions to ensure their sustainable functioning, it has been proposed to form an automated information system at the federal level allowing communication to close all regional operators into a unified sectoral information system.

The object of research is the production of concrete work in the winter. The goal is to develop a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of organizational and technological solutions for the production of concrete work during the construction of monolithic residential buildings in the winter. We reviewed the organizational and technical solutions for the production of concrete work in the winter during the construction of monolithic structures of residential buildings. We have analyzed the regulatory framework that governs the application of winter concreting methods. The production processes that affect the choice of a particular method are considered, indicating the advantages and disadvantages. Advantages and disadvantages of the basic methods of concreting in the winter were identified. The results of the analysis of the regulatory literature showed that today there are no clear recommendations on the design of concrete production technology in the winter, taking into account the features of the facility. There is no comprehensive approach to the formation of organizational and technological solutions within the framework of technological design. The results of the study will allow us to further create a methodology for choosing the most optimal organizational and technological solutions for the construction of monolithic residential buildings in the winter.

Full textAbstract:
The fundamental subject of this research is spatialization of social process in the period of modernism manifested through transformation and/or change in meaning of space under a variety of social processes without changing the physical structure of space. These changes in meaning represent the specificity of development in space under the influence of the said social processes, which in this case is Yugoslav modernism, resulting in the creation of a singular object of architecture specific of a certain environment. These processes have been researched in the residential complex of Block 19a in New Belgrade, designed by architects Milan Lojanica, Predrag Cagic, and Borivoje Jovanovic, and constructed between 1975 and 1982. The basic objective of this paper is to establish crucial causes for this complex to be considered the landmark in the designing practice of the time in Yugoslavia through research and critical analysis of the residential complex of Block 19a, and to try and determine the importance and potential influence in further architectural development in the period following its construction. In other words, the basic objective of this paper is to establish whether residential complex Block 19a represents a singular object of architecture in Yugoslavia/Serbia.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Sediment deposition in the urban environment affects aesthetic, economic, and other aspects of city life, and through re-suspension of dust, may pose serious risks to human health. Proper environmental management requires further understanding of natural and anthropogenic factors influencing the sedimentation processes in urbanized catchments. To fill the gaps in the knowledge about the relationship between the urban landscape and sedimentation, field landscape surveys were conducted in the residential areas of the Russian cities of Ekaterinburg, Nizhniy Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, and Murmansk. Methods: In each city, six elementary urban residential landscapes were chosen in blocks of multi-story apartment buildings typical for Russian cities. The method of landscape survey involved delineating functional segments within the elementary landscapes and describing each segment according to the developed procedure during a field survey. Results: The complexity of sedimentation processes in the urban environment was demonstrated. The following main groups of factors have significant impacts on sediment formation and transport in residential areas in Russian cities: low adaptation of infrastructure to a high density of automobiles, poor municipal services, and bad urban environmental management in the course of construction and earthworks. Conclusion: A high sediment formation potential was found for a considerable portion of residential areas.

On the basis of the research identified the main characteristics of the new urban development, the number of houses built and the prospects for its development, the number of inhabitants, the intensity of buildings, the provision of educational institutions and recreation. The main urban characteristics of the region as well as phenomena that accompany present-day processes of urban development in Ukraine are investigated. The article is divided by the main types of urban characteristics into the stage of formation, indicators of residential construction and population, the state of social and infrastructural infrastructure and the forecasted prospective development. Problem statement. New residential suburb Holosko today is one of the largest housing estates in Lviv, with implementation rate growing day by day. The gradual development of such a city-building structure leads to problems such as: lack of educational institutions and social services, underdeveloped street and transport infrastructure, lack of parking spaces, the lack of public spaces and elements of sports infrastructure, etc. In order to solve these problems, an analysis of the processes of formation and current development of Pid Holosko is needed, with the aim of developing a comprehensive concept of the city's development. An analysis of recent research and publications. Up until now, the development of the residential micro-region Pid Holosko has not actually been investigated. The main materials are the elaborated construction documents and the authors' own research. The planning structure and energy supply of the district at the municipal level was studied in the studies of L. Shuldan. The aim of this article is to investigate the peculiarities of formation of the new residential micro-district of Pid Holosko and to carry out an integrated analysis of its urban characteristics. On the basis of the conducted research the main problems associated with the fast pace of development of the area and the determination of its development trends in conditions of modern urban development processes were defined.

Construction projects are often delayed. Their budgets are being exceeded. This is partly because construction project models rarely take human factors into account. The article focuses on the repetitive multi-unit projects that are often found in construction practices. They are an excellent example of construction works for which the optimization of certain processes can bring measurable financial benefits. In particular, the focus was on improving the key investment success indicator, the total cost of a project. This article presents the use of learning and forgetting phenomenon to improve construction schedules. The authors proposed an innovative model of the construction phase and optimized the schedule using a proprietary calculation algorithm using the simulated annealing phenomenon. The method was verified by a series of experiments and showcased by a case study. The results show that the presented methods can improve the construction planning process and better reflect the current construction conditions. The findings may impact residential, infrastructure, industrial, and commercial construction branches.

The development of cities is below the target in reducing pollution and high population density. The environmental agency formulated the rules for the construction of spatial area-based balances of energy use-oxygen production-pollution for the new Building Code of Timisoara. Studies for households or traffic typically evaluate separately energy, oxygen production or pollution. In this research, we have developed a flow-funds model for conterminous residential building processes with spatial-temporal borders. We are modeling the integrated processes for energy-oxygen-pollution in 14 urban zones for households-buildings with segmentation of partial processes for energy-pollution and separately for oxygen flows. The segmentation is based on modeling of 338 streets at nano-levels as street segments. We have found a new solution for the boundaries in place of the 73 Territorial References Units in the in force Building Code. We made the distinction between area-point and in-process measurement. The modeling revealed that national energy-pollution balances did not integrate oxygen urban production which overestimates the CO2 reported figures. The daily intensity of carbon sequestration in the warm season for 14 zones in Timisoara varies between 0.21-0.70 grams per meter squared for residential areas. The different carbon sequestration intensity justifies differentiated measures to reduce the pollution in residential areas.

The predicting difficulty of bearing capacity of foundations becomes a major problem due to the constructions with rigorous construction processes. Hence, the soil spatial variability is often ignored in the calculations of bearing capacity of deep foundations. Consequently, the use of statistic associated with bearing capacity calculations has added important failure probability information of piles foundations. Thus, this work presents a methodology for calculating the probability of failure of bearing capacity using the probabilistic method First Order Second Moment (FOSM). The data used come from a residential building in the city of Águas Claras / Federal District - Brazil. Finally, this work provided a methodology for calculating the probability of failure taking into account soil lithology and spatial variability.

Building energy renovations contribute significantly to energy sustainability and environmental protection. These advantages have increased the importance of renovating existing residential buildings in many countries. In China, the government has supported the energy-saving renovation of existing urban residential buildings since 2007. However, quality failures, which do not meet the technical requirements, occur during construction processes in building energy renovation projects. Although quality failures are regarded as a crucial problem in building energy renovation projects, the identification of quality failures and their sources, likelihood, impacts, and causes remain mostly unknown. This paper investigates the nature of quality failures in building energy renovation projects. A total of 25 quality failures were first identified through five cases, and interviews with six experienced construction professionals in China. A questionnaire survey was further conducted to evaluate the frequency of quality failures. The results show the nature of quality failures that arise during construction and their sources, occurrence frequency, causes, and impacts. The research reveals that quality failures are caused by defaults by workers; inadequate checking procedures; incomplete construction site surveys; inaccurate design work; fraud of construction companies; and inefficient cooperation between different departments. Above all, the behaviors of the main actors are responsible for poor construction quality. Additionally, emphasis on quality control during the renovation preparation stage is critical to ensure that quality failures are reduced in numbers and severity.

An increase in the number of inhabitants in cities, urbanization processes and congestion in infrastructure lead to a shortage of territories in urban systems. One of the most common ways to search for internal urban reserves is the implementation of infill (compaction) development. The purpose of this work is to analyze the infill development of residential facilities as a way to solve territorial problems (using the example of the city of Kazan). In the article, infill development is understood as a deviation from the general urban planning plan, when the construction of objects occurs on sites adjacent to the existing development. The authors created a register of residential buildings in Kazan, built over the period 1860–2019, deciphered and compared satellite images of 2004 and 2020, determined the functional use of land plots that preceded modern development. Spot buildings are found throughout the entire city of Kazan. However, the process of compaction of the urban fabric is uneven—it is most intense in the central, historical part of the city, which is valuable from the point of view of investors, in which a significant number of various cultural, educational, scientific institutions and other socially significant objects are concentrated. The largest number of episodes of sealing development was recorded in the Vakhitovsky district. In the period 2001–2019. 33.9 % of the total number of residential buildings in the Vakhitovsky district were built, and a significant part of them is “included” in the existing planning structure and refers to the sealing building. Closer to the periphery and borders of the city, the need for sealing construction decreases—less intensive processes of housing construction are typical for the outskirts of Kazan—Aviastroitelny, Kirovsky, Sovetsky and Privolzhsky.

Abstract The economy is subject to periodic changes in activity, which is apparent in the financial situation of households and enterprises. However, the recent economic crisis has been particularly severe. After the great increase in economic activity, which in many countries was connected with the boom in the real estate market, it experienced a sudden turn for the worse, including the broadly understood construction sector. This contributed to a slowdown of the growth rate, or even a permanent economic downturn. The authors have undertaken an analysis of the situation in the construction sector and the condition of residential real estate markets in selected Central European countries, and next, on the basis of a database on the financial situation of selected construction companies constructing buildings in those countries, searched for an answer to the question of how much the construction sector and the analyzed enterprises changed their activity in the recent years. For the purpose of the analysis, a database of over 340 entities from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary was created. The work is of a comparative nature, which allows the scale of the processes studied in the individual countries to be identified.

The United Nations (UN) 2030 agenda on sustainable development goals (SDGs) encourages us to implement sustainable infrastructure and services for confronting challenges such as large energy consumption, solid waste generation, depletion of water resources and emission of greenhouse gases in the construction industry. Therefore, to overcome challenges and establishing sustainable construction, there is a requirement to integrate information technology with innovative manufacturing processes and materials science. Moreover, the wide implementation of three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology in constructing monuments, artistic objects, and residential buildings has gained attention. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud manufacturing (CM), and 3DP allows us to digitalize the construction for providing reliable and digitalized features to the users. In this review article, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of implementing the IoT, CM, and 3D printing (3DP) technologies in building constructions for achieving sustainability. The recent convergence research of cloud development and 3D printing (3DP) are being explored in the article by categorizing them into multiple sections including 3D printing resource access technology, 3D printing cloud platform (3D–PCP) service architectures, 3D printing service optimized configuration technology, 3D printing service evaluation technology, and 3D service control and monitoring technology. This paper also examines and analyzes the limitations of existing research and, moreover, the article provides key recommendations such as automation with robotics, predictive analytics in 3DP, eco-friendly 3DP, and 5G technology-based IoT-based CM for future enhancements.

As a part of BIM4REN (Building Information Modelling based tools & technologies for fast and efficient RENovation of residential buildings) H2020 project, an analysis of the barriers of the renovation process, the potential of digitalization to overcome those barriers, and the requirements to ensure a successful digital workflow. This paper focuses on the Italian market where surveys, interviews, and a workshop were conducted, and then a diagnosis was made on the results obtained. Results show that technological innovation on BIM tools cannot be a stand-alone action to reach a full digitalization of the renovation sector, but it shall be supported by a major awareness of the actors involved, improved skills, and competences, as well as an important change of approach in the current construction practice.

Sustainable research inconstruction environments has being weakening more interest for theconstruction sector, due to visible wastes during the constructive processes.In this scenario, high costs and consumptions of unnecessary materials in the work activities are inserted also, which generate waste and customer dissatisfaction.The real knowledge of this situation can be present with the Lean Thinking concepts application. The scientific initiation research identifies, from the Value Stream mapping application, the structural elements processes and all the waste detected in their observation. This study case shows how to apply the lean principles, and presents your informally application in the Brazilian Company specifically. This study has an investigative character, and considers that the company applies just a part of the Lean principles. Therefore, the paper has as objective to present the application of VSM and the preliminary sustainable analyses too.

he article presents the results of a study on the economic justification of the use of technological schemes for the transportation of building materials to the objects under construction in the Republic of Crimea. The volume of construction in 2021 amounted to only 39 buildings, and in 2022 it is planned to hand over more than 60 construction projects and will approach the level of 2018. The paper examines the dynamics and characteristics of the functioning of the construction sector of the peninsula using the methodology of economic comparison, a systematic approach and logistics ABC analysis. The results of the ABC analysis showed that only five major developers are in group “A”, four are in group “B”, the remaining twenty–one are in group “C”. Methods of mathematical statistics were used to determine the regularity of random variables, elements, stages of the transportation process of construction goods. The developed technological projects for the transportation of sand from the Krasnogorsk quarry, crushed stone from the Trudolyubovsky quarry to Simferopol were economically justified. The application of the proposed recommendations made it possible to optimize the operation of the entire rolling stock, increase its productivity. The optimal technological scheme is No. 5 (the minimum total cost of transporting sand for one ride is 2,716 rubles.). The increase in the productivity of dump trucks ensures a reduction in the cost of transportation and a reduction in transport costs in the final cost of residential and non-residential facilities in Crimea. The analysis of the impact of technical and economic indicators on improving the efficiency of the transport process is carried out. The productivity of dump trucks for the transportation of sand and crushed stone can be increased in the range of – 15.0 - 38.5%, due to the application of our recommendations (use rolling stock with a larger load capacity, reduce the duration of the stages: cargo preparation for transportation; loading; transportation; unloading; delivery of rolling stock). The results of the implementation of recommendations to improve the economic efficiency of a motor transport company are presented. The effect for 1 ton of cargo at the maximum load of one excavator was: 23.2 rubles /ton when using MAZ-6501 relative to MAZ-5550; 7.4 rubles/ton relative to KamAZ-65115-50. The effect for 1 ton of cargo with minimal losses was: 23.9 rubles /ton when using MAZ-6501 relative to MAZ-5550; 8.9 rubles/ton relative to KamAZ-65115-50.

Abstract Iraqi cities in general face a slew of issues, including deterioration of the internal and external residential environment for some residential districts, deterioration of major infrastructure services, and bad economic, living, and construction conditions. As a result, the Ministry of Construction and Housing took the initiative, in collaboration with the Habitat Organization, to carry out a project to upgrade a number of deteriorated residential neighbourhoods, including Al-Imam neighbourhood in Nasiriyah, as a local experiment aimed at achieving spatial development with community participation. The research problem was established by not incorporating community engagement and activating the mechanisms of intrusion towards sustainable spatial development when conversing with residents as one of the strategies for creating and upgrading civilized places. The following hypothesis guided the research: Adoption of effective community participation policies aids in the rehabilitation of damaged residential areas and the achievement of long-term development. The study contained a theoretical component dealing with the notion of community participation and upgrading, as well as a practical component including the identification of the study area and the processes used in the process of upgrading community participation. The study also included a questionnaire for a random sample of residents to complete regarding the type of community participation in upgrading, and the study found that there is a larger need for a process of awareness, education, and training of people to participate in upgrading. Housing unit improvements were not at the required level due to a lack of funding and poor participation of residents in the construction and restoration process, and improvements to educational services were simple and included school frontispieces, green areas were not allocated, and infrastructure services were not established. The study came to a number of conclusions and recommendations regarding the need to rehabilitate human and material resources, stimulate community participation in the planning and management of residential areas, and achieve long-term spatial development.

Organizational changes in project activity and the stages of its formation in the Ukrainian SSR as a tool for constructing a new social reality have been traced. The first stage was the approval of the altered role of architecture and the architect in socialist model, the second - the inclusion of social relations and lifestyle in the subject of architectural creativity, the third - conceptual approaches / models and the fourth - the creation of new samples of architecture. Global trends in urban planning and housing construction in the 1920s - 1930s essential for understanding the processes taking place in the construction of the capital Kharkov have been established. Namely: – the formation of urban planning schools at the turn of the XIXth and XXth centuries. (England, France, Germany, Austria (Vienna), as well as in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kharkov and Kiev; – outsourcing knowledge from other sciences (statistics, economics, law, sociology, etc.); – aspiration to construct cheap housing, industrialization and standardization; – attraction of private capital to the construction of residential complexes. A similarity pointed out between architectural and urban planning concepts is composed of the attraction to conceptual solutions alike to the "garden city" in early 1920s, the search for a new housing typology (sometimes small) with facilities; creation of the concepts of a house-commune and a housing complex. Implementation of avant-garde concepts in the development of social and housing infrastructure of the metropolitan Kharkov is considered. In the 1920s the formation of architectural and urban planning concepts in the USSR took place in correlation with the basic social ideas of architectural and urban planning practices of the West in the following sequence: noncritical borrowing of Western bourgeois models ("garden city"), attempts at social innovation inspired by the classics of utopian socialism (house-commune as phalanx reincarnation), constructing new functional-spatial models as means of implementing social doctrine (residential complexes); socio-economic invention in the context of industry planning (Sotsgorod). Practical verification of the models created at each stage became an incentive for new searches. Keywords: architectural and town-planning tendencies, socialization of town-planning, socialization of residential architecture complexes, metropolitan Kharkov.

Full textAbstract:
Processes of urban and regional change can be classified in terms of their temporal characteristics as fast-adjusting, medium-response, or inert. Based on this classification, a modelling approach is presented that combines (1) a fast-adjusting equilibrium-type transport model, (2) a medium-response residential occupation (housing-market) model, and (3) a strongly lagged residential location (housing-construction) model. It is suggested that such a model structure takes better account of the range of temporal behaviour observed in metropolitan regions than modelling approaches directed at determining a simultaneous equilibrium of transport and location. With data of the Dortmund, West Germany, metropolitan region, the model is employed to demonstrate the role of the transport system in the process of regional deconcentration observed in that region.
