Integrated green construction as a prerequisite for sustainable urban development

Abstract

The article studies problems of sustainable housing construction modeling as part of complex development of the territory projects with consideration of requirements of green, energy-efficient and resource-saving approaches as an obligatory condition of sustainable urban development. The aim of the study is to develop methodical approaches and scientific and practical recommendations in the field of integrated green construction modelling on the basis of assessment and cost management of environmental eco-oriented life cycles of a set of capital construction objects. The object of the study is taken in the form of a portfolio of capital construction projects as part of investment programs for integrated residential development of territories at the stage of prospective construction preparation in the conditions of their competitive selection for financing based on the priority. The article demonstrates the obtained scientific results in the form of: conceptual clarification of the category of integrated green construction; methods of estimation of the environmental-ecological cost oriented life cycles of buildings in the competitive selection of complex residential development projects for its application in the selection procedures for financing; justification of the author’s coefficient «infrastructure» in the assessment of the cost of the life cycle of buildings; modeling the effects of reducing the cost of environmentally-oriented life cycles of objects of complex green development.
