One of the methods utilized for quantification of environmental impacts of human activities is Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA). This dissertation applies the method on renovations of residential buildings in the Czech Republic. The reason is high potential for environmental savings in existing building stock and lack of such works in the Czech conditions. Therefore the dissertation deals with LCA of building renovations to increase the knowledge in this field. Moreover it also questions and evaluates accuracy of building LCA in general to increase understanding of differences and inaccuracies that are often admitted, but seldom analysed in literature. The dissertation includes five LCAs of two case studies: a block-of-flats in Brno and a terraced house in a nearby village. First case study includes LCAs of the original state and renovation of the block-of-flats. The second case study describes LCAs of the original state, partial reconstruction or demolition and new construction of the terraced house. The LCAs are performed in two software tools: Eco-Bat 4.0 and GaBi 4. Detailed models of the evaluated buildings are based on available designs. Environmental impacts are calculated in four impact categories predefined in Eco-Bat 4.0 to enable comparison of results: Ecological Scarcity, Cumulative Energy Demand (or Primary Energy in GaBi 4), Non-Renewable Energy and Global Warming Potential. The accuracy of the performed LCAs is tested in up to 324 different scenario combinations considering variable service life of building materials, construction waste quantities, waste management and transport distances. Generally, the results confirm environmental efficiency of building renovations. The renovation of block-of-flats results in 17.39% average reduction of total environmental impacts. Demolition and new construction of the terraced house result in 76.83% average savings. However, the variation of results is rather high due to tested scenario combinations: up to 56.06%.

In the final part the Handwork is applied to the specific case from practice to assessment of its operation.

The work deals with the possibilities of realization of optical access networks. They are introduced to FTTx optical access, including their specifications and differences. The document was largely devoted to passive and active optical networks. These two different technological approaches are explained and compared. Are presented technical solutions of routes - traditional options for laying underground or into the air, but also as an alternative microtubing. Mentioned are also the active network technology. The work also included the issue of measurement of optical access networks. They are illuminated important transmission parameters and methods for their measurement. The whole work is directed to the full FTTH network design according to the standard GEPON. In designing the use of theoretical information contained in each chapter. It does the form of technical documentation in accordance with the procedures used in practice, contains drawings, specific technical solutions and a detailed budget price. The design was verified by attenuation of balance. Finally there are the results of simulations of the proposed network in OptiSystem7.

The diploma thesis analyzes available methods of financing of a new housing construction with the focus on the possibilities of concurrent investment. The above analysis is demonstrated in a model case study. Practical part contents selection of the products to be analyzed from each evaluated field: suitable mortgage loan, finance market investment, the investment to the alternate heating equipment of the home and photovoltaic power plant. Than demonstrate the possibilities of decreasing the price of the loan with the assistance of concurrent investment into the financial markets or the alternative investment. The risk of investing has been taken into consideration as well. At the end are demonstrated comparative analysis and evaluation of all financing possibilities resulting in suggesting the most suitable method of home loan financing.

Diploma thesis "Low-energy building" presents low-energy construction trends and their price comparision with conventional contruction. This thesis defines basic low-energy building terms, both building and construction work evaluation concepts and specifics of low-energy construction. Practical outcome is comparision between passive and conventional buildings, including economic appraisal.

The diploma thesis deals with design of two separate buildings, stands in the new entrance area Zoo Brno. This is the entrance building, which has two floors and it is designed as a wooden house. The wooden supporting structure is complemented by Isover mineral insulated and sheathed gypsum boards Fermacell. The hipped roof truss with a slope of 20 °. Built-up area is 261.2 square meters. This is followed by pavilion of reptiles. It has a basement floors of reinforced concrete walls and on one side recessed into the hillside. The first floor is designed as a wooden house again. The hipped roof truss. Built-up area is 276.7 square meters. The main entrance is situated on south.

Master's thesis deals with design of the road bridge through the deep valley of the river Dyje. Three studies are designed, from which the variation of one-cellbox cantilevered girder with three spans is chosen. In structural analysis, the influence of time analysis is considered. Master's thesis includes detailed structural analysis, opinions are made according to European standards. The limit states for temporary and permanent design values are assessed. Part of the work are drawings, representation of the construction process and vizualization of the bridge.

The master´s thesis was chosen based on two main reasons. The first one was the importance of this issue as it concerns all of us. The second one was the fact that according to the gathered information, I would be able to give a qualified advice to the others concerning the housing. The residential market cannot be assessed individually; many factors that influence it must be taken into consideration. Its development depends on the economic situation of the state and the favorable development in the world that impacts the whole society. The prosperity of the state has an impact on other markets as well, especially the building market, employment and wages of the citizens. Furthermore, this influences the demand, prices and the overall development of the residential market. The aim of this paper is to predict the future market development, considering all the factors that affect it. The model scenarios are based on retained knowledge, information, data and facts. I tried to process this work clearly and understandably so that it would be beneficial not only to the professionals but to everyone interested in buying a new home.

New building projects make changes in infrastructure and it is the reason of changing some of the characteristics of pricing building plots. For example: transport accessibility and connection to utilities. Side-effect of large-scale residential development is rising the price of land by speculation, because the expensive new buildings are creating places of "Good address". New construction pushing the boundaries of built-up area and in anticipation of further construction will begin trading at higher prices. The aim is to provide a method of determining of new construction on market value of nearby building sites. The project will be primarily focused on building sites as defined by law. Determination of the impact will be made by a comparative method. As comparative examples will be used traded, valued or offered real estates in locations with some new housing constructions (e.g. cadaster Bystrc, Komín, Sadova). The result of the work will be usable for real estate valuation: 1. Methodology for correction of index of variations to effects of new construction. 2. Methodology for correction of index of variations to speculative component of price.

This work is concerned with an implementation of a software framework for usability testing. This extensive network framework and its protocol allow for integration of libraries for data collection from the basic peripherals like mouse, keyboard, camera, etc. If the protocol rules are implemented, these libraries can be platform independent. The client-server architecture allows for management of all collected data in a central database. The data in this database can be queried for evaluating the usability of applications.
