Green Roofs: Standardization and Quality Control of Processes in Green Construction

Abstract

Abstract. The article considers the problems of standardization and quality control of processes in the construction, improvement of integrated safety of buildings and the implementation of innovative green building technologies, the use of national standards as well as international rating systems for green buildings evaluation. This is one of the priority directions in development of the modern construction. The aim of this study is the analysis of the green roof systems and international standards, which were carried out in the green building industry. The authors have studied traditional and innovative solutions of rational using natural resources and energy, the green roof system with integration of supported solar and wind energy collecting and converting devices and of irrigation system. Some studies provide evidence for the benefits of the modular green roof system in urban green space with microclimate differences. This article presents a new research which advances our knowledge of the economic and environmental services provided by the green roof system. Research reported here also considers the analysis of the Russian and international legislation of the quality control of processes in green construction. 1IntroductionThe article considers the problem of standardization and quality control of processes in the construction, improvement of integrated safety of buildings and the implementation of innovative green building technologies, the use of national standards as well as international rating systems for green buildings evaluation. This is one of the priority directions in development of the modern construction.The aim of this study is analysis of the green roof systems and international standards, that carried out in the green building industry. There are studied traditional and innovative solutions of rational using the natural resources and energy, the green roof system with integration of supported integrated solar and wind energy collecting and converting devices and including irrigation system. Some studies provide evidence for the benefits of the modular green roof system in urban green space with microclimate differences. This article presents new research that advances our knowledge of the economical and environmental services provided by the green roof system. Research reported here also considers the *

Fire-extinguishing efficiency and environmental performance of foam for extinguishing a warehouse space with oil

“…The higher the spreading coefficient value is, the more efficient is the foam in extinguishing petroleum products [12][13].…”

“…Obtained results demonstrate that foam agents with fluorinated stabilizers help achieve the required objective: ensure inertness for application from different heights, prevent reignition for a long period of time, and suppress petroleum product fire by foam application to the tank base, directly into the fuel layer. However, fluorinated blowing agents have a long decomposition period, which causes great damage to the environment [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Project Management Risks in the Sphere of Housing and Communal Services

“…These measures will save money for the liquidation of accidents, and for the municipality this will mean improving the state of urban residential real estate and reducing the use of budget funds to eliminate the consequences of emergencies. [17][18][19][20]…”

Ecological and Economic Risks of Fire Protection of Warehouses and Tank Parks

“…On the other hand fluorinated surfactants are less harmful to the environment than the toxic and hazardous substances released during combustion. Therefore, of two evils choose the least [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
