Innovative Solutions for Building Envelopes of Bioclimatical High-Rise Buildings

Abstract

The paper examines innovative and promising trends in in the design of high-rise buildings that challenge traditional typologies and are adapted for specific climatic conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate modern methods of designing building envelopes for bioclimatic skyscrapers taking into account heat impact of climate on the thermal balance of buildings. 
 The research methodology is based on a systematic analysis of advanced world experience in constructing innovative buildings, "conquering" climate. The paper provides the basic principles of bioclimatic architecture. The issues of buildings’ forms and modes are considered. The authors analyze the efficiency of using double facades in different climatic conditions with account of their interaction with other technological, constructive and planning elements, such as "solar chimney", passive and active solar control systems, landscaping, intelligence control systems of temperature and humidity conditions in premises and buildings, etc. 
 The paper highlights that unique objects of bioclimatic skyscrapers are moving now into new typologies of buildings and help form dense, comfortable and convenient urban environment using natural resources effectively. The research shows how prospects and relevance of a systemic approach to introducing the related and interdependent projects for energy saving activities at all levels, starting from town-planning and architectural models, and ending with engineering and constructive solutions.

Structural and compositional features of high-rise buildings: experimental design in Yekaterinburg

“…Another classification used in the study describes the degree of simplicity and complexity of the structural solution in a plan and the sectional view of a building. This classification is based on the analysis of global experience in high-rise construction and national typological developments [7,8,9]. The classification is based on the following variables:…”

Use of Energy-Efficient Technologies and Architectural Planning Methods of Dealing With Adverse Climatic Conditions on the Example of Modern Architecture

“…4. Офисное здание TNT Express (Нидерланды), Роттердамский OVG [17] сегодня одним из путей соблюдения принципов устойчивого развития окружающей среды, способное защитить в момент глобальных перемен [18][19][20][21]. Подобные объекты максимально нацелены на сокращение ресурсопотребления и защиту окружающей среды.…”

Optimization of thermal stability of structural elements of high-rise buildings to increase their energy efficiency

“…Resistance to heat transfer of the most advanced double-glazed windows reaches 1.6 ... 2.0 m 2 • K/W. From the energy saving perspective, much attention is paid to the construction of a double trans-lucent facade [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The double facade consists of an outer part with an intermediate space behind it and an inner part.…”
