Construction is a branch of the economy that occupies a leading place in waste production. The problem is both the demolition of buildings ending their activity and the construction process itself. During the demolition process, waste is segregated, and most often concrete and brick rubble is recycled. In addition, wooden and wood-based elements, metal and glass are most often recycled. However, there is still a large amount of mixed waste, which often contains hazardous waste. It is necessary to store them safely...

The study attempts to examine the current and potential effectiveness of selected tools used in environmental planning of construction projects in Poland. Environmental planning is a complicated and demanding process, and as such it should be supported by the use of environmental management applications. At the early investment planning stage, it is necessary to verify whether a construction project to be developed, in addition to a building permit, does not require a decision on environmental conditions. This dec...

One of the most important questions to deal with while conducting a building development project is the selection of a variant investment solution. In a situation where we have several possibilities of performing the building processes, a choice must be made. And when there are many factors involved in a decision-making process, it is much more complicated to arrive at a decision than in a situation when an assessment is based on a single criterion. One of the elementary stages in a decision-making process is when...

As a rule, buildings make an impact on their surroundings. Industrial and manufacturing facilities obviously create the most severe problems. This is due to the technological processes involved, the need to ensure transportation routes to provide supplies and the necessity to handle waste products. Residential buildings are not normally considered in terms of being a threat to the environment, although their large agglomerations are likely to give rise to many problems and are not neutral to the environment. This ...

There are numerous technological and material solution in the building sector. As more and more emphasis is laid on the protection of nature in the contemporary world, new pro-ecological solutions are devised all the time. One of the most recent trends in the technological development of civil engineering is green technology. In the construction industry, it primarily means solutions with an aim of attaining efficient management of energy and natural resources, from production of building materials, through design...
