The consideration of the macro-climate in the design of high-rise bioclimatic buildings

Abstract

Architectural, structural and technological solutions for high-rise buildings should provide a long-term service life under considerable loads and impacts, including climatic conditions.  The basis of the decisions of the bioclimatic project for high-rise buildings is to determine the parameters of the bioclimate and to evaluate it. Bioclimatic assessment is an identification of positive and negative impacts of various climatic factors, which reveals the potential of the territory for rational use in construction. Climate assessment can be considered at three levels: macroclimate; mesoclimate (local climate), microclimate. The macro-climatic characteristics give the first idea of the climate background of the design, as well as the possibility of taking into account long-term forecasts of climate change. In the article the analysis of previous studies on the effect macroclimate in the design (the formation of general town planning requirements and modes of buildings in different types of weather).

The article states that the experience gained in constructing high-rise buildings in different climatic zones of the Earth requires analysis to extend previous research. This is especially true of climatic areas with complex climatic conditions, which significantly affect the design of high-rise buildings and their operation in extreme climatic conditions. The article discusses examples of high-rise buildings in more detail.

To solve the problems of bioclimatic high-altitude architecture, a structural scheme of formation of the macro-climatic environment is proposed, with the determination of the factors of positive and negative influence in the formation of high-altitude bioclimatic architecture.
