Abstract

The current state of the environment in general, including the construction sector, is experiencing an excessive technogenic impact. Therefore, the authors consider the process of ecologization as an important condition for ensuring the sustainability of the development of construction production. The paper concludes that innovative approaches in the development and implementation of environmental protection programs for construction based on fundamentally new methods of natural resource use, resource saving, transition to new technologies for the production of building materials and structures determine the main directions for improving technological and other processes in this area. The authors determined that the increase in the efficiency of environmental measures in construction sector depends mainly on the location of construction sites and the specific feature of this production. In this regard, at each level of the construction process, there is a danger of pollution of the natural environment, which entails negative consequences of anthropogenic nature. Developing and introducing organizational and economic methods of innovative nature protection activities into the construction production aimed at improving the environmental safety of construction process and upgrading the quality of the surrounding environment on adjacent territories to construction sites is an urgent task.
