Buildings are often complex and hindered by identifying and measuring deformation in both the building itself and its elements. However, we have the assistance of 3D laser scanning technology which allows us to collect geometric data. Scanners are particularly effective for measuring high and hard-to-reach locations. This paper focuses on the measuring and modeling of roof drainage installations,...
Polymermineral material "PMM" has multiple cycles of swelling and drying. It does not decompose under soil, biological and atmospheric influences and is environmentally safe. By adding the proportion of up to 30 g/kg of PMM additive to soil and tamping, we get a waterproofing material that can be used in urban construction and water supply. Taking into account the fact it is not always technically...
The article focuses on a method of heating buildings by utilizing warm air circulation in closed channels located within external walls, referred to as “collector walls” by the author. These channels are also present in the roof and floors, creating a closed-loop system of interconnected air spaces that form a thermo-circulating heating structure. When the collector walls receive favourable solar...
In the world, inert materials are used to obtain high-strength concrete, the volume weight of which is quite large. We cannot get concrete with low thermal conductivity from such inert materials. Therefore, in order to obtain high-strength, environmentally friendly and energy- -efficient concrete, it was necessary to investigate local inert materials. The subject of research is natural zeolite and...
Nowadays a modern building must be energy efficient, i.e. distinguished by extremely low energy consumption. The building must be built according to the principles of sustainability, considering how it can be maximally friendly to the environment, and its life cycle should comply with the principles of the circular economy. Buildings with constructions made from natural origin materials are being...
Large PV installations are being built increasingly often in areas close to airports in Poland and around the world. These are not only roof installations but also large PV farms, allowing not only the supply of the energy for the airport itself but also the ability to sell the excess energy produced. The applied PV installations may cause in some cases negative impact in the form of e.g., electromagnetic...
The article discusses the problems of optimizing and exploiting ground water intakes during times of natural water resource deficits, which are critical sources for the operational resources needed. A deposit of underground water in Rudno in the Lviv region of Ukraine is used for the investigation. To optimize the withdrawal of water for the population in the given district, given the limited natural...
The article presents a comparison of the results of simulation by a photovoltaic installation with bifacial modules. The analyzed 20 kWp PV installation was located in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The article compares how the energy production of installations with bifacial modules changes depending on the angle of inclination, the distance between the rows of modules and the orientation....
Safety plays a crucial role in construction projects. Safety risks encompass potential hazards such as work accidents, injuries, and security. Consequently, it is important to effectively manage these risks with equal emphasis on time and cost considerations during the project planning phase. Within the scope of this research, the grid and archive-based Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm was employed...
The energy efficiency of ventilation systems is very important. The city of Kryvyi Rih in the Dnipropetrovs’k region of Ukraine has a humid continental climate with an average daily temperature of -6.3°C during its coldest month. Consequently, it is necessary to find methods to improve the energy efficiency of ventilation systems. One of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption in ventilation...
