“…Several summary reports, guidelines, and reviews related to C&D waste management, best practices, and LCAs have been published [116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123]. Approximately 1 billion tons of C&D waste, one-third of the total waste generation, was annually generated in the EU as of 2006 [116].…”

“…Due to its longer lifespan, life-cycle thinking, including the design stage, is highly relevant [125,126]. Source segregation is important for promoting recycling and the reduction of environmental impacts [120,122]. However, when C&D materials are recycled, potential contamination with hazardous compounds may be involved.…”

“…There is a lot of works of foreign authors, which devoted to scientific researches of the life cycles [1][2][3][4][5], many of them are directly related to energy efficiency and resource saving [6][7][8][9]. In the scientific and technical literature distinguish the following periods of a building's life cycle [10]: the 1-st period is the process of developing a feasibility study for construction of the building; the 2-d period is the process of developing of construction and design decisions; the 3-d period is process of building, together with the development of technology, organization and technological regulations of work; the 4-th period is the process of pre-service development; the 5-th period is directly operation of buildings and work aimed at ensuring payback of funds invested in their creation; the 6-th period is processes of manufacture scheduled preventive and major repairs to maintain in a good technical condition of constructive elements and engineering systems of the building; the 7-th period is the stage, both physical and moral deterioration of the building, when necessary to carry out works on modernization, reconstruction or demolition; the 8-th period is reconstruction, restoring physical, mechanical and operational characteristics of the buildings.…”

Abstract. There is a very important issue today which includes the harmonious and effective development of the system 'man -environment'. Construction is a branch of material production, which has a significant negative impact on the world around us. It is necessary to plan and operate processes of construction at all stages of the life cycle of a building without exception, to prevent of ecological threats. The article describes the concept of 'life cycle' as applied to various fields of knowledge, analyzes existing in the scientific literature division of the life cycle of buildings in the periods, proposes own approach to the division of periods of the life cycle on the basis of resource-saving. The article proposes the creation of a unified organizational system for the effective management of all periods with the constituent phases and formulates the main external influences on the building life cycle.The present stage of development of the construction industry is characterised by close inter-relationship with the natural environment. The harmonious development of the construction and the natural environment is the key to sustainable development of the system 'man -environment'. To date, there is the task of organization all the processes accompanying the creation of the construction object in a single control system, starting with the stages of initiation and pre-investment and ending with decommissioning or its liquidation. One of the main criteria for the operation of this system, in the first place, should be the focus on the balanced development of the environment. The decision of this task is based on the need to develop a set of measures to streamline and improve the existing mechanisms of formation and functioning of the processes in the context of the life cycle of a construction object. The process of creating a construction object can be divided into sub-processes, the interaction of regulation which will contribute to the harmonious coexistence of the construction object and the surrounding world.Let's consider stages of life cycle of the object, most often meeting in modern scientific works. The concept of 'life cycle' is widely used in many fields of knowledge, such as in biology, this term means the consequent shift of all generations, characteristic for this type of living organisms. In economics, there is the concept of 'life cycle of the organization' -a set of developmental stages which runs the firm during the period of its existence.For our research the most interesting definition is 'the life cycle of a building '. The life cycle of a building is a period during which carried out engineering survey, design,
