Air filtration is basic operation for indoor air environment protection against solid and liquid pollutants. Beside human and natural activity pollutants there are bacterias, viruses and mildews.

Energy-efficient buildings research is one chapter of General Programme for Research and Innovation Horizont 2020 (2014 - 2020) which helps reaching the aims of european energy policy. First part of the article deals with characteristics of private-public partnership called Energy-efficient buildings (PPP EeB) that was founded for this purpose during previous General programme (2007 - 2013) and sums up projects PPP EeB supported in both programmes so far. Second part of the article deals with Czech participation in this programmes and describes topics of nearest Programme Hotizont calls for the year 2017.

The active fire safety devices, by which are in the contribution meant especially electric fire alarms, stabile fire extinguishing means and devices for smoke and heat removal, are an important part of building security systems. For the proper function of these systems it is necessary to pay attention to the priority how to put into operation the particular device, their coordina tion and interaction between them.
The principles of the prioritizing how to put into the operation the individual active fire safety devices are described on the basis of the reasons for the devices installation and their priority or eventually secondary protection targets. The attention is paid also to the coordina tion of the fire safety means.

Gray water recycling requirement for construction of new buildings of a certain size becomes mandatory in some areas. It can be expected that over time this trend will spread into areas that are prone to lack of drinking water, or the lack of treatment capacity impedes economic growth.

The aim of the article is to provide several concrete solutions and applications of Smart Cities that are already being applied in the world and try to describe their contribution to urban residents. We focus on the first two of the six key areas of Smart City – Smart Government and Smart Transportation.

Effectiveness in a broad sense expresses the degree to which the intended purpose (effect) was achieved. The purpose of efficiency - effect - is to create higher value-added workers at a higher quality working environment in the organization.

Each technology equipping today's modern buildings, facilities or campuses, provides a variety of operational data - alarms, status variables and operating parameters, which can effectively help in managing their operations. Therefore it is absolutely logical step to focus them into one unified graphical environment.

Automatic sprinkler systems are used for fighting usually water. Firefighting foam is possible as well. Therefore, there are water or foam-water sprinkler systems. Sprinklers are triggered automatically.

The article describes facility management software IS NEMO. The software's role is not only data management but work process standartization and facility management racionalization as well.

The article is based on experiences with interesting fire safety solutions in historical buildings in the Czech Republic and abroad. It shows that fire safety precautions are possible almost everywhere. They are usually quite simple and affordable and without fear of aesthetical damage as well.

The paper describes the possibility of using fire engineering methods to ensure the safety of cultural monuments. Character of cultural heritage and the effort to preserve their historical value, is the cause of conflict situations in their evaluation in terms of fire safety. The case study of the picture gallery demonstrates some of the options of models of fire which are possible tools in solutions different from standards. The use of fire engineering methods is commented with relation to subjects usually participating in fire engineering applications.

First article from the Smart city series deals with occations for new urban conceptions, defines the Smart City idea and describes it from different points of view.

We calculate insulation thickness in accordance with the criterion of maximum heat loss and monitor unwanted warming or cooling media and maintain the required temperature.

It lasted incredibly long, but we finally have an updated prescription, to which all owners of apartment buildings were anxiously waiting. Until now valid Decree no. 372/2001 Coll. is becoming past since the start of January 2016 and a newly heat for each unit to allocate according to Decree no. 269/2015 Coll.

This paper presents methods to enhance the punching shear resistance of existing flat slabs (enlargement of supported area, enhancement of flexural resistance of slab, post-installed shear reinforcement and prestressed solutions). In case of post-installed shear reinforcement, systems based on steel and CFRP are mentioned. Static, technological and economic advantages and disadvantages are analysed. Differences between the systems are mainly due to the requirement to access the upper face of the slab, resistance-decrease in case of fire and deformation capacity of the strengthened slab.

In early September, the administration building Aviatica was inaugurated and officially unveiled, which is the flagship of a large development in the former factory Walter in Prague. Use of abandoned industrial sites, called Brownfields has been the great theme of Planning and Development during the last few years. Vast territories with dilapidated buildings have a negative impact on their environment, in terms of the degradation of the environment, environmental stress, negative social phenomena or reduction of the economic potential of the site. These lucrative localities are connected to existing technical and transport infrastructure. The transformation has a positive impact on the surrounding areas and instead of spatial expansion of cities into the countryside is one of the ways to exploit their intrinsic potential.
