SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF DESIGNED FAMILY HOUSE ALTERNATIVES WITH APLICATION OF GREEN TECHNOLOGIES

The paper aimed at an assessment of environmental and energy impacts of designed family house using green technologies. Investigated buildings are located in Kosice region. The analysis investigates the role of applied green technologies in proposed variants of family house from embodied energy and equivalent emissions of CO₂ and SO₂ by using LCA assessment method within “cradle to gate” boundaries. The main contribution of the study is underlining that green technologies have significant part in the reduction of the environmental and energy impacts.
