Study of correlations between production and operational characteristics and indicators of ecosystem balance

Abstract

The study of correlations between production and operational characteristics and indicators of ecosystem balance is aimed at forming an integrated analytical approach to assessing the environmental impact of construction activities. The paper substantiates the need for an interdisciplinary integration of ecological, economic, and technological tools to quantitatively determine the relationships between parameters of energy consumption, resource use, CO₂ emissions, waste management, and changes in biodiversity status. It is demonstrated that traditional approaches to environmental impact assessment do not provide sufficient analytical depth without the application of correlation and regression models, system modeling techniques, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Conceptual models of interaction between production processes and ecosystem indicators have been developed, enabling the formalization of cause-and-effect relationships between technical and technological parameters and changes in environmental stability. Mathematical relationships are proposed to assess the impact of energy consumption on CO₂ emissions and to model biodiversity changes under the influence of production factors. It has been established that the integration of LCA models, environmental monitoring systems, and risk assessment methods (FMEA, HAZOP) enhances the accuracy of forecasting environmental consequences of construction activities.

It is proven that optimization of structural parameters of the process-technological environment in construction – particularly the selection of materials, energy consumption patterns, technological solutions, and waste management systems – significantly reduces environmental risks and contributes to achieving ecosystem balance. The expediency of applying comprehensive multifactor models is substantiated, as they allow identification of the most sensitive production parameters and the development of optimization strategies in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of applying the proposed models for strategic planning of environmentally oriented construction production, minimizing the ecological footprint, and increasing resource efficiency within the industry.
