Abstract

We are currently witnessing an increasing demand for residential, office or multifunctional buildings . Customer requirements are no focused only on the economic parameters of the construction, but also on the parameters related to the sustainability and environmental aspect of the construction. In addition, sustainable constructions can be supported by the latest smart technologies. An application of the sustainable approach to constructions is demonstrated by environmental assessment systems.

A brief analysis of knowledge in the field of construction sustainability and smart technologies supporting especially the ecological aspect of sustainability is prepared. These findings represent the theoretical basis for comparing the sustainability of construction on selected construction projects. The aim of the paper is to point out the use of ecological smart technologies that affect the sustainability of buildings. The research was carried out on selected sustainable buildings in Europe which received an outstanding rating within the environmental assessment of buildings by significant certification systems.
