Design engineering using standard objects brings new possibilities to water management design practice. Similar to CAD tools in the past, integrated engineering now represents the gateway to the world of digitization of water management units and can be understood as an effective pre-step before the introduction of BIM, enabling the creation of digital twins and operational optimization. These new procedures can open the gates of perception of the project and management of the whole in hitherto unknown levels. Due to emerging legislative and business trends in the Czech Republic, we can expect an increased demand for digitally processed projects in object architecture, enabling an interconnected approach to the creation and management of documentation in individual phases of the life cycle of a technological unit.

This paper discusses the feasibility of long-term monitoring using modern sensors and systems. New technologies are making long-term monitoring more accurate simpler and more successful. Currently there are many buildings that are monitored for a long time with its subsequent condition assessment, and thanks to the installed sensors and systems it has been possible to detect hidden and emerging defects and damages. Based on the current condition of the structure, it has been possible to carry out timely repairs or maintenance of the building which ultimately saves economic and time costs for the building, ensures safety and increases the life and durability of the building.

Stricter ENB criteria and efforts to enforce a comprehensive view, not only the energy needs associated with housing, but also the place of residence, mode of transport, etc. show that the current situation is not systematically resolved. Meeting the new criteria in existing buildings, many of which have not even undergone basic insulation, will be very challenging, albeit necessary.

The article deals with the description of BIM implementation and the need for BIM in construction. It contains a description of valuation methods, including the valuation of selected structures by individual methods. The individual methods are compared with the cost approach using RTS BIM.

Increasing or decreasing the heat factor of the heat pump does not reduce or increase the energy consumption in direct proportion, as the specific example shows. Instructions are also provided on how to evaluate the advantage of heat pumps with different heating factors.

The construction industry is the primary source of environmental impacts, especially the carbon footprint. Life cycle assessment (LCA) as an analytical method is used for quantifying the environmental impact of the investigated residential building. Life cycle costs (LCC) from the point of view of the circular economy create an economic model prioritizing reuse and recycling. The aim of this paper is to assess the residential building in terms of carbon footprint, using LCA analysis and circular economy, using LCC analysis. The residential building emits 1 756 tons of CO_2e , which represents 41.35 kg CO_2e/m²/year. The total estimated life cycle cost of the building in nominal terms is 1 694 699.61 €. This is the average total life cycle cost of 1 995.21 €/m².

The assessment of the energy performance of buildings depends on a large number of calculations, which must comply with the applicable legislation. The article presents the related structure of legal regulations, including standards and their brief characteristics.

Mobile laser scanning (MLS) is currently commonly used in many surveying applications. The refinement of MLS point clouds is usually done by increasing the number of control points (CP) equally distributed within the mapped area. The accuracy of point clouds can also be improved by multiple passes of the mobile mapping system (MMS). This paper deals with the proposal of a suitable procedure by which it would be possible to remove local deformations of MLS point clouds. The proposed approach is based on the comparison of point clouds from multiple MMS passes. Additional CPs are then added to the places where the more significant differences between the point clouds.

This paper deals with the possibilities of using modern measurement methods and technologies, i.e. ground-based laser scanning (TLS) and Image Based Modeling and Rendering (IBMR), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for processing, distribution and archiving of data collected during the Building Archaeology Survey (BAS). The paper tries to briefly summarize the current state of the author's knowledge and his practical experience with the issue.

High quality of the indoor environment expressed by indicators such as air temperature, relative humidity, concentration of carbon dioxide, or lighting has great impact on human health, comfort and performance. Therefore, the contribution focuses on the effect of an increase in indoor temperature on energy consumption.

The author describes a systematic procedure leading to the processing of the audit and provides an overview of the necessary documents. The elaboration of the audit and the implementation of the proposed measures is a basic prerequisite for savings. Without subsequent evaluation of results and adjustments of operating modes, etc. however, the expected savings effect may not occur.

As of 1^st January 2021, an amendment to the Property Valuation Act and an amendment to the Valuation Decree also entered into force. With the amendment of these valuation regulations, there were fundamental changes in the valuation of easements. In this paper, we deal with the introduction of the new wording of these regulations concerning the valuation of easements and also the individual types of prices at which easements can be valued.

The paper briefly deals with building information modelling and creation of digital twins of buildings using modern techniques of spatial data collection (TLS). It describes an algorithm for automated verification of the building's structures. It presents algorithms for automated difference model creation between the BIM model and data obtained from TLS or photogrammetry. The results are used to verify the geometric parameters of structural elements (such as flatness of walls, straightness of pipes etc.), as well as to determine deviations in their location (position and orientation from the project itself). The information obtained is a basis for the qualification and quantification of deviations during construction management.

The article deals with the data structure for the purpose of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of buildings using the Building Information Model (BIM). LCA is a method that can be used to demonstrate the suitability of proposed materials, structures, or buildings in terms of their whole life cycle and its environmental impact. For the LCA evaluation it is crucial to obtain life cycle inventory (LCI) input data. The aim of the article is to define a BIM data structure for LCI purposes. The new methodology is based on standardization of non-graphic information model data structure called SNIM. Advantages of the proposed methodology have been demonstrated on the case study. These results are useful for expanding the BIM model with new data necessary for further LCA calculations.

A responsible approach to the environment is not only related to corporate ecology, but is also increasingly reflected in the design and construction of buildings, which is closely related to the concept of sustainable construction of buildings. With the development of sustainable construction, the need arose to evaluate buildings and their impact on the environment. For this reason, environmental certifications of buildings have been developed, which assess how a building affects its surroundings during its life cycle.
The aim of this article is to find out which environmental certifications exist in the world and which of them are most often used in the Czech Republic. Finally, the certifications are compared and their main differences are described.

Very quick process of digitalization in civil engineering is progressing also in the branch of geotechnical engineering. BIM is a part of this process. Mutual interconnection of the 3D model of ground with the 3D model of the geotechnical structure can help to give more clear view on the interaction of this structure with ground. However, at the same time it makes possible better control for all participants of the construction process, particularly if all conditions of this mutual interaction are fulfilled. Whether the main aim of the construction process – that the care devoted to the individual phases of the structure design and execution correspond to the risk with which this structure and ground are connected. Within this context a closer specification of the Eurocode 7 of the second generation will be specified, as it counts with different models.
