“…The impact of these engineering measures on energy consumption of typical buildings and healthcare facilities needs to be considered because of social distancing measures, which may require a decrease in occupant density but an increase in ventilation rates. So, although energy recovery is high on the agenda for CE in the built environment ( Eberhardt et al., 2019 ), the additional requirement of more mechanical ventilation for less people will stretch the energy consumed by buildings. Some researchers have argued for buildings to avoid recirculation (essential for energy savings) and use 100% fresh outdoor air for mechanical ventilation systems ( Pinheiro and Luís, 2020 ).…”

Highlights COVID-19 presents unprecedented challenge to all facets of human endeavour. A critical review of the negative and positive impacts of the pandemic is presented. The danger of relying on pandemic-driven benefits to achieving SDGs is highlighted. The pandemic and its interplay with circular economy (CE) approaches is examined. Sector-specific CE recommendations in a resilient post-COVID-19 world are outlined.

“…The waste from the cutting process of the glass plates generates a very fine and white colored mud, which has properties and characteristics that make it potentially useful in traditional ceramic materials and mortars 19 . In the case of geopolymers, the use of waste in a circular economy concept involves important aspects from a technological perspective and particularly considering durability, which may include a detailed assessment of adverse situations and that are daily for a given type of application 20,21 …”

The development of new building materials based on alkaline activation technology is very promising, mainly linked to products that need significant technological properties and durability due to their adverse service conditions and environmental exposure. The objective of this research was to evaluate the development of a circular economy within the scope of durability of ceramic pieces incorporating glass polishing waste aimed at the production of roof tiles, obtained by the geopolymerization process. Two methodologies to evaluate the sample's durability were studied: wetting and drying cycles; and exposure to salt spray; both simulating conditions that tiles typically face in normal conditions. Prismatic specimens were made with an alkaline solution/(metakaolin + waste) ratio = 0.26; a SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio = 3.5, 4, and 4.5; and with ambient and thermal cure at 7 days. Samples were evaluated in their mechanical strength, mass loss, and water absorption. Results showed that the SiO2/Al2O3 = 4.0 ratio with thermal curing had the best behavior in aggressive conditions, and therefore, this formulation can be used for the production of tiles.

“…The most interesting goal for the construction industry is the goal of sustainable development of cities and settlements, to achieve which there is already a good reserve, for example, scientists around the world have done a lot of research works in the field of energy and resource conservation. That fact is confirmed by a lot of publications in different countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

The article reviews the current state of research works in the field of cyber-physical systems development in conjunction with «smart house» technology. The authors have collected statistical data on the articles and the papers about cyber-physical systems in construction from 2009 to 2019, which are presented in data base SCOPUS. These publications were analysed by the authors and as the result the countries leader in this field of studying were identified. The authors formulate a definition of a building cyber-physical system and determine the operating conditions of such systems. Finally, further research objectives were identified by the researchers.
