Effect of the construction cost calculations to the sustainable development of buildings

Authors: 

Tažiková A., Kozlovská M.

The article deals with the approach to the optimal design of construction with an emphasis on environmental load. The load is determined quantifying environmental costs of building materials and environmental costs of finished buildings in their life cycle. The parallel calculation of construction costs and environmental costs have lead to the creation of the next generation of sustainable development buildings. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation of parallel construction costs and environmental costs abroad and in Slovakia.
