The paper presents a methodology for carbon footprint assessment of buildings according to the current European standard. The analytical formulas are proposed to assess the carbon footprint through emissions calculation for the building life cycle including extraction, transportation, and processing of raw materials, construction and installation process, operation, maintenance, and repair, as well as liquidation and disposal. Beyond the life cycle boundaries, the possible benefits from recycling and reuse of building components and materials are considered.

This monograph presents the approaches and tools for green building, research results of assessment the potential of Europe for preservation and renovation of natural recourses to create the sustainable environment for life and industrial activity. New architectural, structmal and technological systems for construction low-rise buildings with using diffrerent materials have been considered and proposed. In the book, the technologies of energy efficient building design and construction are described.lt can be used as Urban Agenda for Regions' Sustainable Development. For researchers, university students, municipal administration, managers of business structures.
