ECOLOGY OF BUILDINGS. ANALYSIS AND METHODS OF BUILDING DESIGN

Design issues related to indoor air quality and “sustainable architecture” are considered. However, they have generally not been established on a reliable analytical basis. The emphasis here is on the study of analytical methods and sources for the development of recommendations for the rational design of healthy buildings. Also, this article discusses both internal conditions, especially indoor air quality problems, and general environmental problems. It discusses the assessment of the impact of buildings on the environment as a whole. It also analyzes the available data to determine the norms of important parameters of buildings and analyzes the main studies of the impact of buildings on the health of residents. The analysis presented here is intended to help building designers prioritize alternative design options that minimize harmful effects on the internal and general environment.
