“…For effective use of IoT, the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role. AI can assess information based on patterns (e.g., for information transfer) or when collecting data [ 76 ]. For example, an automated building façade scan can be interpreted (e.g., dimensions of windows) and analyzed.…”

Wood is one of the most fully renewable building materials, so wood instead of non-renewable materials produced from organic energy sources significantly reduces the environmental impact. Construction products can be replenished at the end of their working life and their elements and components deconstructed in a closed-loop manner to act as a material for potential construction. Materials passports (MPs) are instruments for incorporating circular economy principles (CEP) into structures. Material passports (MPs) consider all the building’s life cycle (BLC) steps to ensure that it can be reused and transformed several times. The number of reuse times and the operating life of the commodity greatly influence the environmental effects incorporated. For a new generation of buildings, the developing of an elegant kinetic wooden façade has become a necessity. It represents a multidisciplinary region with different climatic, fiscal, constructional materials, equipment, and programs, and ecology-influencing design processes and decisions. Based on an overview of the material’s environmental profile (MEP) and material passport (MP) definition in the design phase, this article attempts to establish and formulate an analytical analysis of the wood selection process used to produce a kinetic façade. The paper will analyze the importance of environmentally sustainable construction and a harmonious architectural environment to reduce harmful human intervention on the environment. It will examine the use of wooden panels on buildings’ façades as one solution to building impact on the environment. It will show the features of the formation of the wooden exterior of the building. It will also examine modern architecture that enters into a dialogue with the environment, giving unique flexibility to adapt a building. The study finds that new buildings can be easily created today. The concept of building materials passport and the environmental selection of the kinetic wooden façade can be incorporated into the building design process. This will improve the economic and environmental impact of the building on human life.

“…Engineering construction must be erected taking into account both the ecological and economic effect (Andriulaitytė and Valentukeviciene, 2020;Harasymiuk, 2019). The economic effectiveness of the investment depends on the material types and technology used (Nawrot, 2016) and the effective management of human resources in the construction process (Krynke, 2019).…”

Based on theoretical and long-term field researche, the article provides assessment of the management of engineering and technical structures of the Zhinvali hydroengeneering complex. The methodology and quantitative assessment of the risk of loss resulting from accidents at hydraulic structures are described. The implementation of the recommendations of scientific researche related to the protection of the waters of the Zhinvali reservoir will allow to extend its service life for at least another twenty years, which, subject to one-time-only investments in protection measures in the amount of 35 million GEL (1 USA Dollar - 2,90 GEL), will provide an opportunity to bring the amount of direct and indirect loss prevented to 25 million GEL per year. The calculation showed that rational management of the reservoir will allow, with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 42%, to accumulate net present value (NPV) in the amount of 87.6 million GEL over twenty additional years of operation, which in turn indicates a high efficiency of investments in the protection of reservoir waters.

“…Disruptive technologies in the Industry 4.0 era and the Sustainable Development Goal indicators and Key Performance Indicators for SSCs cover various aspects of their development for the quality life support of citizens (Choi et al, 2022;UNECE 2023), including issues related to city manufacturing and supply chains (Lom et al, 2016;Dzhuguryan et al 2020;Bai et al 2023). For example, assessments of the city manufacturing and supply chains sustainability are associated with the development and use of innovative green materials, products and goods, equipment and vehicles, processes, renewable energy sources that minimize manufacturing waste and the consequences of transport activities and allow reuse of products and components (including remanufacturing and repurposing) within the circular economy concept (Jabbour et al 2018;Davydenko et al 2022Kusiak, 2023;Alatawneh andTorok, 2023, Andriulaitytė andValentukeviciene, 2020). Manufacturing and supply chains within a smart, sustainable urban context are built upon the foundations of Industry 4.0 technologies and adhere to the triple bottom line (TBL) principle.…”

The development of smart sustainable megapolises is associated with the formation of city multifloor manufacturing clusters (CMFMCs) in them directly in the residential area in order to reduce the supply chain from the manufacturer to consumers. Additive technologies (ATs) belong to green technologies because they are considered environmentally sustainable due to less production waste and the ability to reuse of product materials within the circular economy concept. Sustainable development of ATs and additive manufacturing management has become a priority sphere for scientific research, and the use of ATs in the city manufacturing has become any daily reality. Nevertheless, the issues of additive manufacturing management within the CMFMCs have not yet been sufficiently studied. The primary goal of this study was to examine the possibilities of additive manufacturing management in the CMFMCs of the megapolis due to the rational facilities multi-floor layout in production buildings, considering the structure of city manufacturing and business process reengineering related to the needs of the production services market. This paper presents a novel model of facilities multi-floor layout in the production buildings of the CMFMCs, considering the structure of city manufacturing, morphological analysis of the additive manufacturing equipment (AME) used, the balance of material and energy flows under infrastructure capacity limitations of megapolis. The model was verified based on a case study for various options of the floor-by-floor grouping of AME in a building of the CMFMCs. Management solutions for maintaining the flow balance of material, energy and water resources in the CMFMCs are discussed. The results may be useful for additive manufacturing management in an urban environment, taking into account the needs of the production services market in the megapolis.
