Abstract

Green buildings are structures that are located, designed, built, renovated and operated in accordance with the main principles of energy efficiency, and that they will have a positive impact on the environment, economy and social sphere during their entire life cycle. The need to save energy and mitigate environmental problems contributed to the emergence of a wave of green innovations in construction, which continues to this day. The main goal of the concept of sustainable development in geotechnical "green construction" is to: provide it with economic competitiveness and sufficient usefulness; at the same time, reduce energy and material consumption; reduce the area of land plots allocated for construction; to minimize risks of harm to health and life of people in case of accidents and undesirable events during geotechnical construction. The reconstruction of Postal Square is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Kyiv in recent years. Large traffic flows in the "north-south" direction pass through the square, and the absence of a modern transport hub in this area complicates car traffic. The reconstruction project provided for the construction of a two-lane road tunnel, an overhead transport overpass (the first phase of construction), as well as a two-story underground shopping complex with a total area of about 8,000 m2 (the second phase of construction) and complex improvement of the territory with the arrangement park and fountain. The construction was carried out taking into account the high responsibility of the construction and the complexity of the engineering and geological conditions of the construction site. The requirements of geotechnical "green construction" in the conditions of dense urban development based on a systemic approach were met. At the same time, the following were resolved: the absence of shear deformations of the surrounding slopes during the construction of the pit, construction and operation of the structure; integrity of surrounding buildings; ensuring reliable operation of the metro line; strength and reliability of structures under construction; preservation of the original hydrogeological regime of the territory; preservation of underground monuments of history and architecture, other issues.
