“…It is necessary to take into account the aerodynamic effects occurring around highrise buildings, including the formation of centers of convergence of vertical air flows around high-rise buildings on the basis of temperature convection. This leads to a shift in the construction period and a large financial cost [6][7][8][9][10].…”

In this research the influence of natural and climatic conditions on the organization of construction production are examined. Our purpose was to identify the nature of the dependence of the duration of construction work on natural and climatic factors. The analysis of normative and technical documentation in terms of accounting for the influence of natural and climatic factors was made. The system of estimation of influence of natural conditions on preparatory, ground, facade, roofing works, and also the appliance of monolithic structures, installation of prefabricated ferroconcrete items, and on works – implementation of internal finishing is offered. It was estimated, that the norms of construction production take into account a certain number of natural and climatic factors affecting the performance of work, but most of these factors have not yet been given in the normative and technical documentation. It is necessary to study this issue more comprehensively and to establish exact dependences on natural and climatic conditions, which will allow to quantify these factors already while calculating. This is necessary to compile more accurate calendar plans and schedules of production of works, as close as possible to real conditions. The study of this issue is one of the most important issues in the design of construction production. With insufficient consideration of these factors, the final actual figures are very different from the projected ones, which also lead to an increase in the cost of construction and installation work and the duration of their implementation. Taking into consideration the influence of natural and climatic factors will allow planning construction production more accurate.

“…For example, consider the project of residential development of the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Within the framework of the study, CFD-modeling of wind flows was carried out in order to identify areas that are uncomfortable for pedestrian safety [4]. The issue of visualization arose during the numerical CFD-modeling to identify comfort in terms of aeration of local areas.…”

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.

“…Scharf and Kraus (2019) couple ENVI-Met and GreenPass to assess the effect of different green roof areas in air temperature, Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), indoor air temperature, energy flux, thermal load, heat storage, comfort, run-off and CO 2 sequestration. Dunichkin, Poddaeva, and Golokhvast (2019) use CFD and wind tunnel tests to examine the placement of greenery in pedestrian comfort. Despite intentions to provide clear cause and effect relationships, these studies tend to be rather performance oriented detached from human and well-being needs.…”

“…They are difficult to be transferred to the neighbourhood scale as they do not consider microclimate effects in temperature and wind speed as well as how wind speed actually affects thermal perception particularly in cold climates. Authors (Andrade, Alcoforado, & Oliveira, 2011;Dunichkin et al, 2019;Oliveira & Andrade, 2007;Poddaeva, Dunichkin, & Gribach, 2018;Shartova & Konstantinov, 2018) emphasize wind as an important factor in comfortable environments particularly for cold regions. Liu and Kenjeres (2017) propose an integrated CFD and Computational Reaction Dynamics (CRD) model to couple wind speed with pollution dispersion but from a diagnostics perspective, whereas De Luca (2019) focuses on using sensitivity tests as a resource to explore changes in building clustering to modify outdoor wind patterns in the winter to improve the comfort of pedestrians.…”

This chapter invokes the urban design community to provide transparency in design decision-making by discussing the role of design specifications and the production of evidence in enabling scrutiny and accountability of design proposals in relation to fulfilling sustainability goals and fighting climate change. It claims that original and verifiable regenerative design solutions emerge from clear design specifications supported by evidence, rather than normative sustainability alone. Evidence is understood as going beyond targets and extended to design specifications which are constantly tested in terms of flexibility and robustness, positively contributing to the ecosystem they are inserted in, once further decomposed towards a more detailed design proposal. Principles from Axiomatic Design are proposed as an approach to develop design specifications for regenerative climate adaptive urban design. This work attempts to illustrate the use of this method to practitioners through an example in which human-centric needs, values and aspirations are transformed into joint urban air pollution and outdoor bioclimatic comfort design requirements to be fulfilled by greenery, a regenerative design parameter common to both knowledge domains at the pedestrian layer of the urban environment.
