Integration of sustainable development principles and affordability in housing construction

Bibliographic description of the article for the citation:

. Integration of sustainable development principles and affordability in housing construction//Science online: International Scientific e-zine - 2026. - №7. - https://nauka-online.com/en/publications/economy/2026/7/01-39-2/

Annotation: The incorporation of sustainable development concepts into residential projects presents one of the most difficult and significant problems in modern-day construction. The notion that there is an inherent trade-off between sustainability investments and minimizing costs obscures the fact that sustainable development and affordability have complementary relationships during the entire life cycle of buildings. In this article we discuss four areas of the relationship between sustainability and affordability: 1) reconciling sustainability and affordability as two competing objectives; 2) the application of energy efficiency and lifecycle cost methods to produce long term affordability; 3) the production of large-scale housing using sustainable materials and locally sourced raw materials; and 4) how sustainable affordable housing can contribute to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through the results of a systematic review of relevant academic literature, the authors position the integrated engineering and management methodology of Chirkin as the operational model for reconciling sustainability and affordability at the project level. Each of the four pillars of the Chirkin methodology - engineering-management integration, turnkey standardization, lean operational logic, and scalable modularity - addresses each of the tensions related to sustainability-affordability discussed within the literature to provide a structural method to produce houses that are both cost effective, energy efficient and aligned with SDGs. Directions for policy implications and potential avenues for future research based on the findings from the study will be presented.

Bibliographic description of the article for the citation:

. Energy modernization of historical buildings: challenges and ways of integrating energy efficient solutions//Science online: International Scientific e-zine - 2021. - №11. - https://nauka-online.com/en/publications/technical-sciences/2021/11/20-8/

Annotation: Energy modernization of objects with historical and cultural value represents one of the most complex and multifaceted challenges in the fields of construction and restoration research. It lies at the intersection of two of modern society’s priority directions — preserving the authenticity of monuments and achieving ambitious goals for reducing carbon footprint and enhancing buildings’ energy efficiency. Within the framework of this study, the aim is to identify existing challenges and pathways for integrating energy-efficient solutions in the modernization of historical buildings. The methodological foundation was a comprehensive systems analysis of specialized publications addressing methods for evaluating and implementing energy-saving technologies in historical buildings, as well as a synthesis of contemporary approaches in non-destructive testing, the application of digital building information models (HBIM), and life-cycle cost assessment (LCCA). The findings obtained and the described decision-making framework are of interest to design engineers, restoration architects, heritage protection authorities, and government institutions involved in the preparation and implementation of historical renovation programs. They make it possible to devise a balanced approach whereby sustainable development requirements harmoniously coincide with the objectives of cultural heritage conservation.

Bibliographic description of the article for the citation:

. Organisation of an effective system of lighting of public spaces to ensure the safety and orientation of residents in the city in conditions of increased danger//Science online: International Scientific e-zine - 2024. - №12. - https://nauka-online.com/en/publications/technical-sciences/2024/12/07-17/

Annotation: The article highlights the importance of urban public space lighting in ensuring safety and orientation for residents in high-risk environments. Proper lighting can reduce crime rates, improve orientation, and facilitate safe evacuation during emergencies. The study analyzes the use of intelligent lighting systems, energy-efficient technologies, and approaches to adapting lighting to various situations. It also describes collaboration with communities and authorities to enhance the efficiency of lighting systems.
