A survey of the frame-panel building was carried out, in which ecowool was used as the heat-insulating material. A study was made of the moisture state of wooden frame walls and attic floors. Ecowool samples were taken from various sections of the wall. No mold was detected on material samples. In this case, the sorption humidity was not more than 16%. The results of laboratory tests of ecowool showed high persistence of density and coefficient of thermal conductivity during long-term operation. Tests were conducted to determine the effect of moisture on the change in the physical and technical properties of ecowool. The research results were processed by statistical methods. As a result of the study, it was found that moisture does not accumulate in the ecowool layer of the examined frame walls and attic flooring, but goes out through the insulation and elements of the building envelope. The conducted studies allow us to predict the preservation of the heat-shielding properties of ecowool during operation for a long time

It is shown that in the analysis of self-determination it is expedient to use the tools of cognitive modeling. This allows us to identify all the cause-and-effect relationships that provide logical and semantic focus on the desired (target) result of a particular system. The problem of analysis is a special case of the study of the fundamental philosophical category of development, as the relationship and interaction of "things, properties and relations". Formally, the analysis can be reduced to the procedure of semantic and causal interpretation of the original cognitive model. The model allows to study the internal structural organizations that affect the implementation of self-determination of the system. Analysis of self-determination in turn opens the way to effective cognitive modeling, construction of dynamic models, application of game and scenario analysis methods.

Today, any production process is a means of making a profit for an organization. With this approach, products can be represented as the result of the conversion of input resources into output products. To obtain new information about the product, you can use the cybernetic approach, which allows you not to study the complex physico-chemical phenomena that occur during its production. The cybernetic approach helps to see many different factors that affect the quality of the product. All these factors are important to consider when developing the documentation of the quality management system (QMS). The main task of the QMS is to prevent the influence of negative factors on the quality of the goods. This problem can be solved with a tool called “Failure Type and Effects Analysis (FMEA)”. In the article, with the aim of introducing in the production of building products and structures, the cybernetic model "black box" was considered. Also presented is an analysis of the types and consequences of nonconformities (FMEA analysis), which allows you to see the most significant causes of nonconformities and develop corrective measures for them. The article was published as part of the implementation of the program of the International Forum "The Poor May 1945"

The paper focuses on energy efficient reconstruction of construction systems by means of their upward extension using modular spatial structures. It is further noted that the existing contradictory definition of the term “modular structures” necessitates classifying modular structural elements by spatial dimension, type and size, weight, degree of prefabrication, constructability and environmental safety. A list of the world’s leading manufacturers is provided featuring modular spatial structures to be used in the construction of new buildings and reconstruction of existing buildings. Also, the paper underlines the importance of using added stories in making modular roof structures of lightweight metallic structures (LMS) and lightweight thin-wall steel structures (LTSS) and provides an overview of the main types of modules, pointing out the key benefits of modular structures.
