PROSPECTS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRACTICE OF "GREEN OFFICE" OR "SUSTAINABLE OFFICE" IN RUSSIA

Among the main environmental problems of Russia, the problem of wastewater treatment and the problem of accumulation of solid municipal wastes are currently highlighted. In these conditions, it becomes fundamentally important to introduce environmental management directly in the places of waste and waste water generation, in particular at the objects of housing and communal services. The article considers the prospects of office greening as the smallest unit of housing and communal services, amenable to direct management. Various aspects of office greening (application of biodegradable cleaning and sanitation cleansers, energy efficiency, office waste management, etc.) are analyzed from the point of view of economic efficiency and regulatory support. The practice of environmental certification of buildings in Russia is not yet widespread, so all aspects of office greening should be occupied by the management of the company to which it belongs. The variants of the state control and stimulation of the companies' management to the implementation of the "green office" practice are offered.
