Issues of wind mode visualization and pedestrian comfort assessment when designing residential buildings on sloping territories in the Arctic zone

Abstract

Subject of research: visualization of the wind regime of residential buildings on the slope area in the Arctic. Goals: the purpose of the study is to identify the problems of visualization of the wind regime on the slopes and the analysis of patterns of airflow around the sloping territories, affecting the comfort of pedestrians. Materials and methods: airflow patterns of slope areas with different characteristics and comfort assessment for humans are analyzed in the course of work. Geotechnical methods are presented in solving the problems of wind erosion and the stability of hillsides and complex terrain within the city limits. Results: The importance and novelty of the research in studying the relationship of slope geometry and environmental quality, as a decrease in comfort inevitably leads to a decrease in the development of nearby urban areas in settlements on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, problems with climate and local climate, as well as a decrease in the quality of life of people. The article considers the relationship of plastic relief with the aeration regime of the territory, the dependence of aerodynamic roughness on their height, features of aeration of the slope and hilly terrain, factors affecting the direction and speed of the wind and methods for studying the aeration regime of slope areas. Findings: The possibilities of applying existing approaches to research and visualization for slope areas are demonstrated. The direction of development of the technique for visualization of slope areas has been determined.

Renovation of dormitory campus using the principles of sustainable development

“…For the improving of the ecological situation, we updated the dormitory with the green roofs. Green roof has many positive qualities, there are ability to improve the microclimate, helps to filter out dust, smog particles, absorb nitrates, increase rainwater retention by 50-90%, improve noise protection by reducing reflective sound by up to 3 dB, improve sound insulation by up to 8 dB and protect the waterproofing [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Modular greening technologies for buildings

“…E. Palomo developed models for predicting the thermal behavior of buildings roof components designed on the basis of evaporative and radiative cooling principles [10], O. Korol in his research considered the principles of energy efficient construction [11]. The exhaustion of energy resources and heavy environmental impacts were shown in the articles of LuisPérez-Lombard [12] and comfort assessment when designing residential buildings was considerdd by O. Poddaeva, I. Dunichkin and others [13][14]. The use of greening systems leads to an increase in the basic values of the parameters of the laboriousness and duration of work.…”
