In the "Design and technical solutions of GREENBOR" section, architectural, construction, engineering and organizational solutions of the Greenbor residential quarter are collected, as well as an explanation of their purpose, materials used and the current state of implementation.

For each decision, it is important to distinguish its actual status: implemented, running, is projected or is available as an optional extra.

General diagrams and descriptions help to understand the logic of GREENBOR, but the final characteristics of a particular house, land plot, structure, equipment and engineering connections are determined by its map, technical documentation and contract.

1. Organization of the territory and sequence of construction

Status: partially implemented, partially implemented and projected.

GREENBOR is a residential quarter for 20 households, located on a territory of about 0.53 hectares in the village of Zelenyi Bir, Kyiv region (Detailed plan of the territory was approved by decision No. 625-31-7 dated November 15, 2018).

The basis of the planning decision is the combination of private households with a shared road, utility networks, controlled access and public areas. Each home ownership includes:

• a separate house or independent living section;
• a formed land plot with a separate cadastral number;
• own entrance and private backyard;
• at least one car space near the property;
• connection to intra-district utility networks.

Construction queue

First line (Ivana Bohun Street): finished duplexes and townhouses under construction, main entrance, automatic gate, gate and basic engineering infrastructure are in operation.

Phase 2 (Petra Doroshenko Street): includes townhouses, duplexes and three independent sections of a triplex (in the design stage). During the period of active construction, the second phase is separated from the first, so that construction vehicles do not cause inconvenience to residents of the already developed part of the quarter.

2. Private and shared space

Status: concept approved, principle applied in quarter planning.

The main private space of the homestead is located towards the backyard. Within its limits, the owner can arrange a terrace, landscaping, a place for rest, garden paths, a carport and other agreed elements.

The space in front of the entrances to townhouses and duplexes remains open. The outer perimeter limits the access of outsiders, but the inner territory is not divided by a continuous system of high fences between adjacent entrances.

No arbitrary installation of fences, partitions between entrances, personal gates, barriers or extensions outside the private area is allowed on the common area. This supports a holistic view of Greenbor, safe movement, visual control of the territory and free access to networks.

3. Foundation and zero cycle: protection against shrinkage and groundwater

Status: implemented in completed houses; is being executed/projected for the following objects.

According to engineering and geological investigations, the soil conditions of the site are classified as simple. The recorded groundwater level is 3.3–3.6 m with a possible seasonal increase. The estimated depth of soil freezing is about 1 m.

Technical solutions of the foundation:

• Constructive: monolithic reinforced concrete strip foundation with a depth of about 1.2 m combined with a monolithic reinforced concrete slab, which reduces the risk of uneven shrinkage.
• Waterproofing and thermal insulation: horizontal waterproofing and waterproofing of the plinth. For high-quality insulation and installation of a warm floor, 200 mm is left between the "clean floor" and the top of the slab. This makes it possible to eliminate cold bridges, protect the floor of the first floor from freezing, and install a highly effective insulation layer of at least 120 mm.
• Drainage: installation of rainwater drainage system with water drainage from the roof and walkways for efficient drainage of meltwater and rainwater from the foundation.

4. Bearing walls, ceilings and inter-apartment wall

Status: solutions are implemented in completed houses of the first phase; for other objects are checked according to the technical description.

The following capital materials are used for completed duplexes of the first phase (with an area of 103.2 m²) and central townhouses (with a project area of 140.2 m²):

• External bearing walls: 375 mm thick StoneLight D500 gas block or brick (internal load-bearing wall), which provides high strength and heat accumulation.
• Internal partitions: solid brickwork.
• Floor structure: reinforced concrete floor panels above the first floor (guaranteeing absolute rigidity and sound insulation between floors) and wooden beams of the upper floor.
• Inter-apartment sound barrier: adjacent sections are separated by a brick load-bearing wall.
• Loft space: completed duplexes provide an attic space with windows and the possibility of arranging a floor made of boards for household storage.

5. Facade, energy efficiency and window systems

Status: the solution is implemented in the finished building; is performed for new objects.

Thanks to the energy-efficient complex, heating costs for buildings are minimized:

• Facade decoration: a combination of clinker tiles and high-quality plaster. The dew point is placed in the layer of external insulation, which prevents the appearance of moisture, mold or fungus.
• Ventilation: gravity (natural) channel ventilation in wet areas and kitchens.
• Rehau and WDS window systems: German window systems are installed in duplexes 2-Е and 2-Ж REHAU 70 with energy-saving double-glazed windows. Energy-efficient systems are installed in duplexes 2-И and 2-К WDS 76 MD. Installation is performed using a warm support profile along the entire perimeter of the window (warm installation technology) to form high-quality insulation of the slopes.
• Warming of slopes: on the slopes, decorative moldings and facade polystyrene slopes are installed, which form additional insulation.

6. Roofing and drainage

Status: implemented in ready objects.

• Roofing: metal profiled roof / folded profile with anti-corrosion zinc coating. The rafter system is treated with fire and biological protection solutions.
• Roof insulation: a layer of basalt wool 200 mm thick on the attic floor, an airtight vapor barrier below and a superdiffusion membrane on the rafters.
• Stormwater drainage: each house has a separate rainwater and meltwater drainage system, which is not combined with domestic wastewater.

7. Engineering infrastructure and networks

Status: Basic infrastructure is working; expansion and redundancy are performed according to the schedule.

Engineering system	Actual solution and technical parameters
Electricity supply and ASKOE	To 15 kW of three-phase power for each house. A separate electricity meter is located in an external cabinet near the entrances. Accounting is integrated with the ASKOE automated system (remote recording of impressions, support of the "day/night" tariff). Each house has an individual grounding circuit, connected to the house shield. Common equipment (wells, gates, lighting) is connected to separate accounting groups.
Heating	GREENBOR gasification is possible but not predicted. The buildings are designed for an electric heating model (electric boiler, water/electric underfloor heating, heat pump or inverter air conditioners). The possibility of heating with firewood (fireplaces) is taken into account for the objects of the second stage.
Water supply (domestic and technical)	2 own wells are in operation (the third is in the project). The system is divided into: 1) household water is supplied by a separate pipe to each house with double metering (control meter in the utility room + meter in the house); 2) technical water for irrigation is output by a separate line to the site (separate meter in the pit). The project involves the installation of 3 hydroaccumulators of 200 l each for pressure stabilization.
Local wastewater management	In the first line, there are 2 independent groups of local purification systems: 5 sections of the townhouse are served by a system of 5 tanks (9 m³ each), and 4 duplexes are served by a system of 4 tanks (9 m³ each). They include receiving, aeration and drainage tanks. Maintenance of the sanitation machine takes place from the outside without going into the yard. The payment is distributed in proportion to the domestic water consumed (excluding irrigation).
Internet and communication	High-speed fiber optic Internet (GPON) is brought up. The provider's equipment has backup power.

8. Security, access and backup power

Status: the basic security system is working; general reservation is projected.

• Access control: automatic gates and a pedestrian gate operate via GSM, mobile application or remote controls. The gate drive has a mechanical release in the event of a lack of light. With the construction of the second stage, a second car entrance will be opened.
• Video surveillance: cameras have been installed with archiving of records from 2 weeks, expansion to the entire outer perimeter and the inner territory is planned.
• General back-up infrastructure power supply: a centralized unit (inverter 12 kW + generator 12 kW + 3 batteries with a total capacity of 15 kWh) was designed for uninterrupted operation of wells, aeration of sewers, gates and chambers. Note: to power a private house, the owner orders an individual system.

9. Landscaping, recreation and walking path

Status: designed, implemented in stages along with the development of the quarter.

• Internal roads and parking: the entrance to GREENBOR is asphalted and illuminated. A main road is being built inside, guest parking is provided near the street and at least 1 parking space on a private lot.
• Walking route: a 200-meter closed walkway will run along the central road, behind the townhouses, through the green area and a separate passage between the houses. It is convenient for running and walking with a baby carriage.
• Rest areas and garbage site: a gazebo, a barbecue area, a children's playground, a sports area and a shelter are planned to be built on the territory. The equipped garbage site has been moved to the outer perimeter.

10. Infrastructure management (the Greenbor Cooperative)

Status: the organizational model is formed; the Greenbor Cooperative is at the stage of creation.

After the legal transfer, the internal road, networks, wells and equipment are registered as the indivisible property of the Service Cooperative (the Greenbor Cooperative).

• Voting principle: one household is one vote.
• Payment for services: individual meters measure light, household and technical water. The consumption of common equipment (lights on the road, pumps) is shared among residents in equal shares through the transparent estimates of the Cooperative.
