Scientific research in this field and its results are devoted to the study and evaluation of Lithuanian architectural and urban heritage.
Research and its results is intended to develop new and to improve current methods of assessing the durability of building finishing materials after mechanical and environmental impact assessment.
Scientific research in this field and its results are devoted to the study and evaluation of spatial planning, landscape formation, and changes in the spatial structure of residential areas.
Research and its results are intended to create new structural solutions for energy-efficient buildings, to analyse the possibilities of efficient use of the produced solar and wind energy for the building’s energy needs; to improve the methods of assessing the durability of building finishing materials after mechanical and environmental impacts.
Research carried out in the Institute is significant to the science of civil engineering and experimental development. The outcomes and results of the research are used in the designing energy efficient buildings and their engineering systems, raising the professional qualifications of construction specialists, preparing normative documents in the field of construction. The research activities of the institute in these areas are aimed at strengthening the links with business and state institutions, at attracting and promoting doctoral students, at expanding cooperation with Lithuanian and foreign partners; the Institute’s research production contributes significantly to the country’s economic and energy development.
