The aim of this article is to highlight the role of Building Information Modeling in minimizing the energy consumption of a building. To achieve this, a project was selected in Iraq and the annual energy consumption in this project was determined. Through the analysis of the building using building information modeling, it was found that the addition of some alternatives during implementation effectively contributes to reducing energy consumption . For example, the use of foam Material above roofs reduces the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) to (1,135 MJ/m²/year), Electricity (294,591 kWh), and Fuel (117,587 MJ) , and using Sand Stone in Wall Finishing reduces the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) to (1,116 MJ/m²/year), Electricity (228,898 kWh), and Fuel (496,223 MJ). Through these results, it appears that new materials must be incorporated into the building, as they are of high quality in thermal insulation and reduce energy consumption. By adding the alternative materials above, and from the results that appeared, it was found that these materials reduced the energy consumption of the building by a good percentage and thus obtaining a higher quality of the building by improving its performance.

The article deals with the problem of disposal of the sludge formed after the treatment of wastewater at the production of chemical fibers. Sludge after sedimentation is stored in storages and pollutes the environment. We carried out a comparative analysis of existing methods of disposal of sewage sludge from chemical production, which showed that the most environmentally friendly way is pyrolysis. We have analyzed the chemical and fractional composition of ash sludge after pyrolysis. The analysis revealed that the resulting ash waste is similar to ash from coal-fired power plants, which makes it possible to use it as a microfill for paving roads or sidewalks. By selling the ash waste it is possible to reduce the payback period of the pyrolysis unit installation and reduce the ecological load on the environment.

The technical solution for the construction of local treatment of return drainage flow from an irrigated area, based on the use of ion-exchange filter materials, is proposed. It has been established that the concentration of chemicals in the water of the drainage well is 1/3 lower than in the open collector, where the drainage flow is diverted. Therefore, the localization of the technological unit for the treatment of drainage water relative to the drainage well is a reasonable decision, since it will reduce the financial costs of filter media and the frequency of their replacement. The technological scheme of the treatment plant based on the block principle is described: by disconnecting or connecting individual blocks, it is possible to respond flexibly to changing needs in the quality and degree of drainage water treatment.

The article assesses the impact of road transport on air pollution of roadside areas of a major transport highway in Volgograd. The road-car complex makes a significant contribution to air pollution by solid particles, significantly exceeding the background value. One of the criteria for assessing the impact of dust particles on the air environment according to the World Health Organization is the mass content of particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns (PM10) and 2.5 microns (PM2.5) in atmospheric air, which is normalized in the territory of the Russian Federation by hygienic standards. The fractional composition of dust particles entering the atmospheric air was assessed by the Microtrac S3500 laser particle analyzer, the concentration by the Lighthouse 3016-IAQ particle counter. The results of the dispersion analysis are presented in the form of the Rosin–Rammler–Sperling–Bennett function of the volume distribution of particles over diameters.

Due to the peculiarities of the technology, in gypsum production preference is given to dry cleaning of emissions into the atmospheric air from dust. At the same time, dust cleaning systems are arranged in multistage with installation of cyclones at the first stage, bag filters or electric precipitators - at the second. According to the results of research, it was found that the efficiency of cyclones in collecting gypsum dust is 70-75%, precipitators - 97.6-98.5%, and is insufficient neither to ensure sanitary and hygienic conditions, nor to reduce production losses. Based on the results of the studies, the median diameters of dust transported in the engineering and environmental system were determined: after the gypsum boiler - 25-58 microns; after the cooler - 38 μm; after the mill ring - 21 μm; before the electrostatic precipitator - 28 μm. To increase the efficiency of the dust cleaning system, it is proposed to replace the cyclone installed before the electrostatic precipitator with a block of two parallel dust collectors on opposite swirled flows. It has been experimentally established that the effectiveness of such a solution is 88.9-94.9%. Based on the results of studies and statistical processing of the data obtained, it was established. that the main influence on the efficiency of the dust collector unit is exerted by the relative volumetric flow rate in the flow sucked in the lower part of the main VZP apparatus. The highest efficiency values are achieved with its values 0.15-0.22. It was also established that the highest efficiency values are noted in the case when the diameter of the auxiliary VZP device is 2 times smaller than the diameter of the main one. Such mode and design parameters should be recommended for efficient operation of the plant.

Road surface quality assessment is one of the most popular tasks around the world. To solve it, there are a large number of systems that work using certain algorithms, including methods of morphological image processing. One of the key criteria for the effectiveness of an algorithm is its time complexity. The following approaches of morphological processing is considered in the article: Dilation, Erosion, Morphological Gradient, Morphological Smoothing. Photos of the road surface of various conditions were used as the material for the study. Based on the proposed methodology of the experiment, it turned out that each of the selected algorithms has a linear time complexity, but the "Dilation" and "Erosion" algorithms have lower absolute time indicators.

The most significant advantage of composite structures compared to structures made of traditional materials is the ability to control the characteristics of the structure in order to obtain an optimal design. In the general case, the initial physical characteristics of the material of the composite structure are random variables. Consequently, the required quantities (stresses, strains, critical loads, etc.) are also random variables. The problem of statistical modeling of a composite structure is ultimately reduced to the problem of transforming random variables. To solve this problem, the Monte Carlo method is used. The object of study is a multi-walled plate under the action of compressive loads. The purpose of this work is to construct point estimates of the coefficients of both general and local stability for a multi-walled plate, as well as to test statistical hypotheses about the equality of the stability coefficients to their theoretical values. The initial parameters are the elastic moduli in the longitudinal and transverse directions, as well as the shear modulus of the construction material. The following were used as output values: sample mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis coefficients. All calculations were carried out in the environment of the MAXIMA package. It is shown that the distribution of the overall stability coefficient practically does not differ from the normal distribution. The coefficient of local stability has a slight positive asymmetry and a steeper peak compared to the normal curve. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the spread of the elastic characteristics of the material does not significantly affect the coefficients of the general and local stability of the multi-walled plate.

The technological instructions of most converter steel casting shops of modern metallurgical enterprises contain instructions for cutting slabs into to length using a fixed length increase factor that is directly dependent on shrinkage. This does not take into account the chemical composition of steel and the temperature of cutting slabs into exact lengths. At the same time, experience shows that for steels of different grades there is a discrepancy between the planned and actual values of the slab length. This problem required the creation of a mathematical model that makes it possible to determine the values of the linear shrinkage of the slab from cutting to complete cooling. On the basis of this model, a method for calculating the coefficient of increase in the measured length (cutting coefficient) of a slab during cooling from a cutting temperature to 30°C was developed. With the help of the proposed technique, the reduction in the length of slabs of grades 09G2S, 08PS, 22GU was studied. The paper also shows that the dependence of the cutting coefficient on the carbon concentration and temperature before cutting is linear. It was found that the effect of carbon concentration on shrinkage is significantly manifested only at high cutting temperatures (1000-1100°C). On the basis of the dependence obtained, a technical solution is proposed for automating the workplace of the operator of a gas cutting machine (CCT) of the shop for casting converter steel of a modern metallurgical enterprise.

The paper is devoted to the application of the simplex optimization algorithm in the field of magnetic measurements, namely in measuring the demagnetization curve of highly coercive magnetic materials. The algorithm has found its place in the implementation of a new method based on the full-scale model approach and the Gills-Atterton hysteresis model, the essence of which is also described in the work. It is expected that the new method will make it possible to more accurately determine the demagnetization curve of permanent magnets by using voltage meters instead of classical induction sensors, which will avoid the accumulation of error. The simplex optimization algorithm makes it possible to optimize the parameters of the Gills-Atterton model in such a way that the simulated mathematical model of a highly coercive magnetic material best corresponds to the measured magnetic material. The method is tested on a multiphysical model built in the COMSOL Multiphysics software package and includes calculations of an inductor and a permanent high-coercive magnet.
