The purpose of this study is to implement parts of the requirements of the European Green Deal in individual housing construction in Slovakia. The research methodology consisted of two parts: an analysis of selected building materials and a case study evaluating the possibilities for selecting materials with a more favourable carbon footprint. The building materials used for the construction of perimeter walls - YTONG, CLT panels, NOBASIL, and ISOVER - were evaluated based on their Global Warming Potential (GWP) v...

The construction sector generates substantial amounts of waste and still largely operates within a linear model of resource consumption. In response to increasing environmental pressures, circular construction has gained importance as an approach that extends material life cycles, reduces waste generation, and limits the demand for new raw materials. In this context, the reuse of building products represents a promising strategy for improving resource efficiency and supporting more sustainable end-of-life manageme...
