“…The complexity of the planning procedures call for the tools of integrated resource planning (IRP), in which demand and supply are considered resources on a consistent and integrated basis. Lithuania has practical examples of demand-side management solutions, but there are only first initiatives to include IRP [25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Energy saving measures in buildings considerably reduce energy consumption and thus the GHG emissions. Plenty of scientists, Galvin (2010), Sartori et al (2009), Jurelionis and Isevičius (2008), Zavadskas et al (2008 b, c), Naimavičienė and Mickaitytė (2007), Mickaitytė et al (2008), Swan and Ugursal (2009), Filippin and Larsen (2009), Lloyd et al (2008), Johansson (2007), Balaras et al (2005Balaras et al ( , 2007, Saidur et al (2007), Kazakevičius et al (2002), Bell and Lowe (2000) among them, analyse and suggest solutions how to cut high energy consumption through retrofit in the residential sector. The Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, which took place between 7 and 18 of December 2009 and attracted representatives from 194 countries, shows international understanding and huge economic potential to cut global GHG emissions in the nearest decades.…”

To design and achieve effective the life cycle of the built environment a complex analysis of its stages as well as stakeholders, their aims and potentialities is needed. The effect of micro, meso and macro environmental factors should also be taken into account. A thorough built environment's life cycle (brief; design; raw material extraction, transport and processing; construction materials production and distribution; construction; use, repair and maintenance; demolition; disposal, reuse, or recycling) analysis is quite difficult to undertake, because a buildings and its environment are a complex system (technical, technological, economical, social, cultural, ecological, etc.), where all sub-systems influence the total efficiency performance and where the interdependence between sub-systems play a significant role. Various stakeholders (clients, users, architects, designers, utilities engineers, economists, contractors, maintenance engineers, built environment material manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, finansing institutions, local government, state and state institutions) are involved in the life cycle of the built environment, trying to satisfy their needs and affecting its efficiency. The level of the efficiency of the life cycle of the built environment depends on a number of variables, at three levels: micro, meso and macro level. The problem is how to define an efficient built environment life cycle when a lot of various parties are involved, the alternative project versions come to hundreds thousand and the efficiency changes with the alterations in the environment conditions and the constituent parts of the process in question. Moreover, the realization of some objectives seems more rational from the economic perspective thought from the other perspectives they have various significance. Therefore, it is considered that the efficiency of a built environment life cycle depends on the rationality of its stages as well as on the ability to satisfy the needs of the stakeholders and the rational character of environment conditions. Formalized presentation of the research shows how changes in the environment and the extent to which the goals pursued by various stakeholders are satisfied cause corresponding changes in the value and utility degree of a built environment life cycle. With this in mind, it is possible to solve the problem of optimization concerning satisfaction of the needs at reasonable expenditures. This requires the analysis of the built environment life cycle versions allowing to find an optimal combination of goals pursued and finances available.References to the most modern world scientific literature sources are presented in the monograph. The monograph is prepared for the researchers, MSc and PhD students of civil engineering, construction management and real estate development. The book may be useful for other researchers, MSc and PhD students of economics, management and other specialities.The edition was recommended by the Committe of Studies of VGTU Faculty of Civil Engineering.

“…This problem is particularly topical in Russia and Eastern Europe, where the buildings are mostly connected to the municipal and district heating plants and have a so-called 'vertical' piping structure with the main distribution pipe in the basement and multiple standpipes in each room [4]. This makes it difficult to control each separate flat individually and imposes some restrictions to the majority of individual heat metering methods [5].…”

This paper concerns efficient control of heating energy allocation for the purposes of heating rooms in multiple flat buildings based on wireless sensor networks. One of the main problems of wireless communication in building automation systems is the attenuation of signal while it passes through walls. The results of theoretical and experimental research completed in real buildings are presented here, comprising walls and ceilings made from different construction materials. The structure of data acquisition wireless network is proposed in reliance on multianalysis. In fine, the new method of spatial heat allocation is proposed. The method is based on the WSN technology. It reliably provides comfortable temperature, required by health and safety regulations, in every room of the building.
