Analysis of Energy Consumption During the Construction of Apartement Buildings

The current legislation focuses on minimizing the amount of energy consumed during the use of the building, but the energy spent on the construction of the building is not addressed. Compared to the entire life cycle of a building, this energy makes up a small share, but even at this stage of construction, savings can be found. Given the current rapid rise in energy prices, any energy savings are noticeable. The subject of the article is the issue of the negative impact of non-compliance with the schedule of work progress or its sub-optimal proposal to increase the amount of energy expended during construction. The aim of the research is to quantify the consumption of individual types of energy input during construction and to determine the specific consumption for the purposes of subsequent comparison and evaluation. An analysis of energy expenditures, determination of critical activities requiring a significant amount of energy and a comparison of five cases of apartment building construction are performed
