For rational design of concrete structures, it is necessary to take into account all types of loads to which the structure is exposed during the execution, operation and reconstruction. Biogas tanks belong to the group of constructions where the indirect and environmental loads represent a high risk to the reliability, particularly in terms of their serviceability and durability. The article analyses the effects of these loads as well as the causes of separation cracks formation.

Outsourcing of cleaning services is often demanded service both in the public administration sector and the private sector. Universities are very interesting client, but have their own characteristics. For suppliers (providers) that means defining a specific mode services.

Outsourcing is becoming a phenomenon of our time. Many managers assume that its implementation will remove numerous problems, save exorbitant costs, reduce the number of employees and in the future will move “our problems” to someone else. Is it so simple? And is it even true?

Although the WHO and the EU monitor PM_2.5 a PM₁₀ particles, PM₁ particles have the smallest and most harmful fraction.

The paper deals with the processing, the amount and importance of information for project quality and impact of their losses on construction projects and the resulting quality of construction. Presents statistics on causes of failures, lost function and possible solutions.

Client and provider of facility management services must form a perfectly coordinated team that cooperate on the one hand and on the other hand, demands high quality work of the partner.

The article is focused on property records of public administration, both state institutions and local government bodies. It is primarily focused on records and asset management of communities and voluntary associations of municipalities.

The article describes selected topics from historical buildings fire protection methodology. Covered topics are fireproof coatings, building division into fire compartments and attic and roof.

This article contains a description of the fire detection and fire alarm system, as a part of the overall fire protection equipment of a buildings facilities and technology amenities; including principles of its design, installation and operation.

The role of soft facility management services is support for the employees and for the organization. For example the services such as health, safety, ergonomics, food and many others. Translation and interpretation are such service of the facility management too.

The floor system structure HURDIS is composed of a steel beam, of floor ceramic elements and of concrete. There are materials with different behavior in fire exposition. The paper deals with the analysis of the behavior of individual elements of floor structures affected by high temperatures. Knowledge is applied to the example of the assessment of the floor structure of the storehouses damaged by fire.

Emergency lighting is one of the most important species of fire safety equipment which determine the fire safety of buildings or other facilities. Emergency lighting is established for use in the event of failure of normal artificial lighting and is therefore supplied from the second independent source. Properly designed, highly functional and operational installation of emergency lighting is essential to ensure a quick and safe escape of people in case of emergency.

If an employer wants his employee to pay damage, the employer must be able to prove the breach of duty otherwise he will pay the damage himself.

The annual total losses caused by fires in the Czech Republic (direct and indirect) are not negligible. The total amount of these damages is to a large extent also involved in fires caused by the operation of electrical wiring and equipment. In terms of fire protection in these cases remains a key issue rate of compliance with fire safety requirements in design, construction, and especially in the operation of these facilities. Currently, in addition to the system of Czech technical standards implemented a lot of new European standards which transpose the international requirements for testing, design, operation and maintenance of electrical wiring and equipment, which requires often the direct modification of existing CSN, in those parts which are contrary thereto. This situation logically caused societal need to address this issue in order to protect public interests, and comprehensively, using available European technical documents, specifications and national standards of EU member states, according to the current state of science and technology.

The article is focused on ambivalent features of systems intelligent building management from the obligatory requests on fire safety point of view. It insists that reliable and functional detection is the basic predetermination to effective solution in fire case but it is not sufficient to the total fire protection provision. The complex solution of the problematics involves many further steps and provisions of both, technical and organizational character.
