ECOLOGICAL CRITERIA IN THE FUNCTION OF CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND APPLICATION OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS

Ozrislava Milinkovic, Snezana Trmcic

Abstract


The European Construction Industry (ECI) is facing the challenge of increased consumption of energy, resources, environmental threats and climate changes which are dictating the necessity of using technology that can help in rationalizing consumption of resources. Additionally, environmental protection became a top priority for ensuring sustainable development, maintaining very high international environmental standards, and revitalizing important role of ECI in the world economy. To evaluate the impact of construction objects on the environment, it is necessary to consider all phases of construction, including the use of natural raw materials needed for the manufacturing of construction materials, construction, the exploitation of objects and eventually demolition and recycling. The construction is considered as an activity that consumes the greatest amount of natural resources, such as water, wood and a variety of raw materials for the production of construction materials. The construction industry is one of the biggest air pollutants and causes high energy consumption in all phases of construction. With recycling and reuse of construction material need for natural resources can be significantly reduced. Applying multi-criteria decision-making methods enable us to objectively evaluate impact of the construction object on the environment as well as his ability to meet assigned criteria. The article is devoted to analyzing five most commonly built sports halls made with different materials and systems of construction in order to determine which one is meeting environmental criteria to the fullest extent.
