Abstract

Construction is an example of anthropogenic activity that not only harms the environment, but often causes the destruction and even destruction of ecosystems. The threat is posed by all stages of construction from design and survey work to maintenance of the finished building and its disposal at the end of the housing cycle. By creating an additional environmental burden, the construction industry has a negative impact on human health. Instead of natural ecosystems, as a result of construction activities, urban areas are created – a zone of continuous development within the city or urban agglomeration. Whether the urban environment will be comfortable for a person or, on the contrary, a person will feel ecological discomfort depends on the work of architects, builders, and the quality of building materials. The ecological state of cities can be attributed to the global environmental problems of mankind. The desire to reduce the impact on the environment encourages the search for ways to improve, innovative methods, the latest technologies, safe for the environment and human health building materials. Current trends in the implementation of green building standards are promising for overcoming the environmental crisis of cities, and make it possible to reduce the impact of the construction industry on the environment. In order to accelerate the pace of implementation of aspects of "green building" it is necessary to implement European environmental standards in the legislation of Ukraine. The introduction of mandatory environmental certification of buildings at the legislative level (starting with new buildings) is one of the most important steps in this direction. The basis is the already popular and time-tested British international certification system BREEAM, the rating system for energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, USA), or DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen, Germany).
