The paper represents researches in the field of logistical processes in the context of interaction of various transport modes. The characteristics of forms of shipments' logistical organization in railroad and water communications were defined that differ from the existing ones by the performed functions and types of operators. This allows describing more precisely the organizational forms of interaction. The authors have developed an algorithm for managing operational activities in the logistics center, based on the interconnection of flows within it and coordination of the participant interaction in supply chains. The proposed methodological recommendations on the economic justification of the logistics center, which consist in the organizational support structure, allow providing a differentiated approach to the planning of operations for processing the flow according to the composition of the logistics chain.

Sustainable development of construction and housing and utilities sector is impossible without ensuring energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of the production and operation of facilities. The authors consider it possible to ensure this through the implementation of a scientifically based innovation strategy of entities at all levels of the economy. The authors postulate the expediency of forming a strategy for the development of sustainable energy technologies based on foresight technology, taking into account the network nature of the interaction of participants and the need to coordinate micro and meso level strategies based on the creation of “innovation growth points”. To select the directions of strategic development of sustainable energy technologies and assess the effectiveness of their implementation, a list of analytical indicators of factors and results of the development is needed. Based on the adoption of the foresight methodology as a basis for building a strategy, and also based on the systems approach and the theory of self-organization of non-equilibrium systems, the need to develop a topology of indicators of the analytical unit as a basis for assessing the current state and heredity of the micro and meso level system has been proved. The authors proposed methodological provisions on the composition and structure of analytical indicators. On the basis of a statistical analysis of a number of indicators, the expediency of creating “innovation growth points” in the region in order to increase the efficiency of diffusion of innovative energy technologies in both intersectoral and interregional projections has been empirically proven.

The urgency of the problem of improving the quality of construction products is caused by the need to ensure sustainable development of territories, increase the energy efficiency of buildings and structures, increase the efficiency of investment and construction projects, reduce resource costs, and reduce the negative impact on the environment. The article substantiates the relationship between the quality of construction products and their consumer value, which made it possible to structure the criteria for the quality of construction products and determine the benchmarks in quality management. Taking into account the substantiated criteria for the quality of construction, a methodological toolkit for improving the efficiency of quality management based on a value-oriented approach is proposed. A model has been developed for the efficiency of improving the quality of construction products based on the triad “resource efficiency - minimization of anthropogenic impact - environmental safety for human and nature” until the criteria for green building are achieved.
