Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development has been slowly but surely penetrating many areas of society's activity and life for about three decades since 1992, when "Agenda 21" was prepared. Taking into account the concept of sustainable development of the World Commission on Environmental Development, it is obvious that the various activities of the construction sector must be analyzed and organized in the future according to the provisions of sustainable development. The development of urban areas can be carried out at various levels - from the whole city to an individual building or its components. Social and economic and environmental impacts and changes are analogously manifested in all spaces: global, national, regional, urban, district, adjacent environment, property, individual object and components and materials. The urbanized environment and its most important components - buildings, are complicated complex systems. They embody the culture of people formed over centuries. Buildings differ from other industrial products in terms of durability and the abundance of resources required for their creation and use.
