The Impact

<p class="Abstract"><em>The surface temperature of the building material may release a heat load in the micro-environment. The largest building envelope receives the heat load of solar radiation is the roof. The strategic roof position at the top of the building has the opportunity to radiate heat received into the environment. Heat emissions lead to rising temperatures, so it is necessary to lower the temperature in micro-environment. When the heat of the building is not lowered will lead to an increase in the urban heat island (UHI). The objective of the study was to find the relationship between the thermal performance of the roof of the building and the energy efficiency in the high-rise building, in order to establish efficient thermal comfort. The research method uses experimental way in real model which is in Surakarta City, as humid tropical climate area. The result of the study is a comparison of the heat performance of three roofing materials which would later recommend the criteria of energy efficient roof for high buildings.</em><em></em></p>

A city high-rise building of the environmental balance, and its prominent position in the image and the place has a special symbol. However, high-rise buildings developed to reduce the symbolic value that it has attributed to the relevant system of architectural forms. As more and more dense urban high-rise buildings stand, we should be carefully evaluated: its ecological evvironment, will be the effect? Because of its height and volume, a high-rise building than in the top or bottom is likely in terms of physical environment on the social environment and the impact is much greater. Disturb the existing high-rise buildings in varying degrees between the various functions of the city, increasing the city high-rise buildings in the moment, how to properly control the rapid of high-rise buildings in order to maintain a sustainable ecosystem, is a question worth considering.

This paper deals with the issue of high-rise building development and problems related to the formation of city development vision in today’s Lithuania. The analysis focuses on the possibilities and problems arising in the process of developing the Special Plan of high-rise building arrangement in Klaipėda and in the formation of the visual image of Klaipėda city. The methodology of this Plan is discussed in two papers by the author. The first paper discussed two initial phases of the Plan preparation: the existing status of Klaipėda city and search for a conception of high-rise building arrangement. The present paper touches upon two further preparation phases: specification of solutions and assessment of their impact from various perspectives. City territories are assessed by the following aspects: forecasted development of the morpho- structure buildup in the city’s structural elements, forecasted development of the perspective background high-rise of the city’s structural elements and specification of development of high-rise construction in the urban structure. This paper presents the results of the Special Plan of high-rise building arrangement. It also provides assessment of the impact of the solutions of high-rise building arrangement on the city’s visual image as viewed from specified public viewing points as well as the impact on the general development of the city’s silhouette and panoramas. Santrauka Straipsnis skirtas aukštybinės statybos plėtros klausimui ir su tuo susijusioms šiandieninėms miesto plėtros vizijos formavimo problemoms Lietuvoje. Nagrinėjamos Klaipėdos miesto vizualinio įvaizdžio plėtros galimybės ir problemos rengiant Klaipėdos miesto aukštybinių pastatų išdėstymo specialųjį planą (SP). Šio plano metodikai aptarti yra skirti du autorės straipsniai. Pirmajame jau aptarti du plano rengimo etapai – esama Klaipėdos miesto būklė ir aukštybinių pastatų išdėstymo koncepcijos paieška. Šiame antrajame aptariami kiti du plano rengimo etapai – tai sprendinių konkretizavimas ir jų pasekmių įvairiais aspektais įvertinimas. Pateiktas miesto teritorijų, atitinkančių kompozicinės plėtros idėją, įvertinimas šiais aspektais: miesto struktūrinių elementų užstatymo morfostruktūros kitimo prognozė, miesto struktūrinių elementų užstatymo perspektyvinio foninio aukštingumo kitimo prognozė ir aukštybinės statybos plėtojimo miesto urbanistinėje struktūroje konkretizavimas. Pateikti aukštybinių pastatų išdėstymo specialiojo plano rezultatai. Aptartas aukštybinių pastatų išdėstymo sprendinių pasekmių vertinimas miesto vizualiniam įvaizdžiui, stebint iš nustatytų masinės apžvalgos taškų, bei poveikis bendram miesto silueto ir panoramų pokyčiui.

Abstract. Wind drift has a significant influence on the rainfall-runoff relationship in urban high-rise building areas since the oblique rainfall caused by the wind drift can interact with the building walls. However, the impact of the rainfall inclination angle on the rainfall-runoff process in urban high-rise building areas has not been studied. In this study, the relationship between wind and the rainfall-runoff process in such areas was explored. A theoretical framework was developed to describe their relationship, including a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to obtain the relationship between wind speed and rainfall inclination and a newly derived equation to describe the relationship between rainfall inclination and the runoff coefficient. Subsequently, a laboratory scale model experiment was conducted to verify the proposed framework. The main results are that (1) the runoff coefficient calculated by the proposed theoretical framework is highly consistent with that obtained from the laboratory experiment; (2) the runoff coefficient of urban high-rise building areas increases with wind speed; (3) the change of the runoff coefficient for the experiment with larger raindrop is 0.047 when the wind speed increases from 0 to 5.9 m/s while that for the experiment with smaller raindrop is 0.064, which means that the rainfall with larger droplets is less influenced by the wind.

The main results are that (1) the runoff coefficient calculated by the proposed theoretical framework is highly consistent with that obtained from the laboratory experiment, (2) the runoff coefficient of urban high-rise building areas increases with wind speed and the increase rate is linear with the tangent of the rainfall inclination angle, and (3) the change in the runoff coefficient for the experiment with larger raindrop is 0.047 when the wind speed increases from 0 to 5.9 m s−1, while that for the experiment with smaller raindrop is 0.064, which means that the rainfall with larger droplets is less influenced by the wind.
