Abstract

The regulation of the wind regime is the most important architectural and climatic problem solved at the planning level. The possibility of the creation of favorable conditions of aeration, affecting bioclimatic  comfort, depends on the wind climate of the district of the construction and housing project solutions. The authors performed a series of micro-climatic observations in the two adjacent residential parcels, located on the left bank of the Voronezh Reservoir and different in the I number of storeys and the types of inner beautification projects. The results of the evaluation of the aeration regime of the parcel of a modern development of the high-rise housing snowed that around high rise  buildings the wind speed increases and the formation of areas of turbulence takes place. On the construction site with mid-rise housing on the leeward sides of the buildings extended along the length of the facade facing the main direction of the wind, the wind shadow emerges. The wind speed also decreases due to the dense trees and shrubs growing on the site. The calculation of the equivalent-effective temperature as an ] indicator of the level of thermal comfort due to the complex impact of temperature, humidity and wind speed is given. Based on the analysis of the obtained results, general recommendations for landscaping to reduce the adverse effect of wind are proposed.

Keywords

thermal comfort, microclimate, wind conditions, equivalent-effective temperature, wind shadow.
