Reduction of anthropogenic load during construction of facilities using modular technology

The study analysed methods for reducing anthropogenic pressure on the environment through modular construction technology. It used data analysis, environmental performance assessment, and examination of practical applications. The findings showed that modular construction reduces construction waste, energy consumption, carbon emissions, and project duration compared with traditional methods. Shorter construction periods also lower noise, dust, traffic, and disruption to local communities and ecosystems. Factory-based module production improves labour conditions by reducing physical strain and occupational risks, while increasing demand for skilled and technologically competent workers. It also decreases emissions from construction equipment and transport and supports more efficient logistics. The use of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly materials helps reduce building heat loss, while automated production improves compliance with design standards and limits rework. Overall, modular construction demonstrates environmental and economic advantages, confirming its potential to reduce anthropogenic load, improve resource efficiency, and support sustainable development without compromising construction quality.

Abstract

The study analysed methods for reducing anthropogenic pressure on the environment through modular construction technology. It used data analysis, environmental performance assessment, and examination of practical applications. The findings showed that modular construction reduces construction waste, energy consumption, carbon emissions, and project duration compared with traditional methods. Shorter construction periods also lower noise, dust, traffic, and disruption to local communities and ecosystems. Factory-based module production improves labour conditions by reducing physical strain and occupational risks, while increasing demand for skilled and technologically competent workers. It also decreases emissions from construction equipment and transport and supports more efficient logistics. The use of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly materials helps reduce building heat loss, while automated production improves compliance with design standards and limits rework. Overall, modular construction demonstrates environmental and economic advantages, confirming its potential to reduce anthropogenic load, improve resource efficiency, and support sustainable development without compromising construction quality.
