The sustainable implementation of resources and the transition to low-carbon construction is on the world’s daily agenda. This paper describes the development of criteria for the efficient management of material resources in low-carbon construction. Net income, gross profit, balance sheets, and equity are proposed as indicators that serve as criteria for assessing the efficient use of resources. Nonlinear regression models were the methodological basis for the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships of the volume of construction of transport structures. It was established that since construction companies do not purchase materials for storage, the cost of materials for use in low-carbon technological construction work is directly proportional to the cost of construction. The volume of production in the construction industry is determined by construction costs. More efficient use of low-carbon materials reduces cost and construction waste. In this paper, we have established the relationship between the indicator of efficiency for the functioning of the construction enterprises in Ukraine and the use of low-carbon materials for the construction of transport structures. The practical value of the obtained results for low-carbon construction management lies in proving the relationship between the performance indicators of the construction enterprise (net profit, gross profit, output volume, balance sheets, and equity capital) and the use of low-carbon material resources. Our results form the basis for future research into the use of a cost-based model for low-carbon economy transition in municipalities and regions.

The Delphi method is one of the basic tools for forecasting values in various types of issues. It uses the knowledge of experts, which is properly aggregated (e.g., in the form of descriptive statistics measures) and returns to the previous group of experts again, thus starting the next round of forecasting. The multi-stage prediction under the Delphi method allows for better stabilization of the results, which is extremely important in the process of forecasting. Experts in the forecasting process often have access to time series forecasting software but do not necessarily use it. Therefore, it seems advisable to add to the aggregate the value obtained using forecasting software. The advantage of this approach is in saving the time and costs of obtaining a forecast. That should be understood as a smaller burden on data analysts and the value of their work. According to the above mentioned key factors, the main contribution of the article is the use of a virtual expert in the form of a computer-enhanced mathematical tool, i.e., a programming library for a forecasting time series. The chosen software tool is the Prophet library—a Facebook tool that can be used in Python or R programming languages.

This research focused on the helicopter turboshaft engine dynamic model, identifying task solving in unsteady and transient modes (engine starting and acceleration) based on sensor data. It is known that about 85% of helicopter turboshaft engines operate in steady-state modes, while only around 15% operate in unsteady and transient modes. Therefore, developing dynamic multi-mode models that account for engine behavior during these modes is a critical scientific and practical task. The dynamic model for starting and acceleration modes has been further developed using on-board parameters recorded by sensors (gas-generator rotor r.p.m., free turbine rotor speed, gas temperature in front of the compressor turbine, fuel consumption) to achieve a 99.88% accuracy in identifying the dynamics of these parameters. An improved Elman recurrent neural network with dynamic stack memory was introduced, enhancing the robustness and increasing the performance by 2.7 times compared to traditional Elman networks. A theorem was proposed and proven, demonstrating that the total execution time for N Push and Pop operations in the dynamic stack memory does not exceed a certain value O(N). The training algorithm for the Elman network was improved using time delay considerations and Butterworth filter preprocessing, reducing the loss function from 2.5 to 0.12% over 120 epochs. The gradient diagram showed a decrease over time, indicating the model’s approach to the minimum loss function, with optimal settings ensuring the stable training.
