The purpose of the study is to identify the main typological, space-planning, constructive, stylistic and town-planning features of residential buildings designed by the Municipal union of Novosibirsk housing cooperatives in the years of the first five-year plan. Research objectives: 1) To substantiate the need for a transition to stone construction and the benefits of the development of quarterly residential buildings in Novosibirsk during the first five-year plan; 2) Determine the main types and types of housing, the development of which was engaged Gorshilsoyuz in the study period; 3) Analyze the most characteristic objects designed by Gorzhilsoyuz in the 1930s. The method of work is based on a comprehensive analysis of archival materials from the Novosibirsk State Archive (GANO) and funds of the Museum of the History of Architecture of Siberia named after S.N. Balandin (Novosibirsk), as well as literary sources and materials of periodicals. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time, based on an analysis of residential building projects created by the Gorzhilsoyuz, their architectural and typological features and compositional and stylistic features are identified and compared in detail. Founded in 1925, the Municipal union of Novosibirsk housing cooperatives (Gorzhilsoyuz) began its activities with the design of wooden residential buildings for housing cooperatives. In the years of the first five-year plan, this organization switched to the design of stone multi-apartment residential buildings based on socialist type housing principles. If in the previous period, most residential buildings had a unified space-planning solution, which did not include other functions besides housing, in 1928–1932 the city began to embody the original projects of new types of not only multi-family buildings, but also quarterly residential complexes, which included in their structure public housing and service facilities. The first example of a quarter residential development of the city was the “garden-quarter of a new type” of the housing cooperative “Pechatnik”. The design of residential buildings involved professionals Gorzhilsoyuz. The corner multisection apartment building had in the ground floor: shops, a dining room, a pharmacy, a kindergarten, a red corner; in the basement were: showers, bathrooms and laundry. Decorative belts and rizalits were the main architectural elements of the main facade. In 1929–1930 housing cooperatives “Medrabotnic” and “Khimik” built two corner multi-section residential buildings according to the projects of the Gorzhilsoyuz. Multi-apartment building “Medrabotnic” consists of four sections. Standard ordinary end sections had two apartments on the floor: three- and four-room apartments, each of which housed a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bathroom. A store was designed on the first floor of the rotary section, and on each floor above are two three-room apartments (without bathrooms) and one four-room (second to fourth floor) apartments. The residential building of the “Khimik” was the first five-story building in Novosibirsk and was conceived as a communal house. The house provided separate sleeping areas for: adults and children. However, due to the change in the ideological line of the government, the project was converted into an apartment building with shops on the ground floor. The facades of the house spatially overlap with the facades of the building “Medrabotnic”. The residential four-storey building of the housing cooperative “Rabochaya piatiletka”, built in 1930 according to the drawings of the Gorzhilsoyuz, was designed as a communal house. The project was supposed to accommodate people in separate age groups. On the ground floor there was a dining room with a kitchen, administrative rooms and bedrooms for the elderly. On the second floor there were the bedrooms of adults and children of eight years of age. The third and fourth floors were occupied by bedrooms of adults and children up to 16 years. Half of the fourth floor had social functions. The basement was allocated for laundry, boiler room and pantry products. However, in connection with the Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) “On work on the restructuring of life” (dated May 16, 1930), the dormitory was re-planned, and later became an administrative building.

Korea relies significantly on imported fossil fuels to meet its energy needs. Moreover, about 50% of Korean residential buildings are apartment complexes. In this paper, the use of distributed generation (DG) technologies to serve the energy requirements for a typical Korean apartment complex is explored to reduce Korea’s dependence on fossil fuel and CO2 emissions. In particular, a series of sensitivity analyses is conducted using detailed simulation tools to determine the cost-effectiveness of DG systems to meet electrical and thermal loads of an apartment building in Daegu, Korea. The DG systems considered in the analysis include Photovoltaic (PV), Wind turbine, Microturbine, and Fuel Cell. The apartment complex is connected to the utility grid that with electricity typically generated using fossil fuels. It is found that a combination of the grid and Fuel Cell is the most cost effective approach to meet the electrical and thermal loads of the complex residential building with a cost of energy reduction of 12% compared to the grid only option.

Research on factors that affect the value of residential buildings in the city of Denpasar has been done consisting of literature review, interviews with experts, data collection and statistical analysis. Obtained from literature review were 45 factors which then grouped into four, namely: land characteristics, environment, location, and building characteristics. Survey on 27 valuation expert respondents was done to obtain their perceptions on the factors, and then their perceptions were measured with Likert scale. The data were then statistically tested to determine its validity and reliability, after which factor analysis was performed to obtain factors that truly valid within its group. To further evaluate the dominant factor in each group, two hundred data of previously assessed residential buildings were collected and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results showed that group of factors that affect the value of residential building the most is location (7.723) followed by environment (3.843), building characteristics (3,741) and land characteristics (3.253). Downtown area, road width, building area, and land area are the factor of location, environment, building characteristics, and land characteristics, respectively, that dominantly showed positive effect within its group. SUTET transmission, poor road conditions, poor physical condition of the house, and the land at road end "tusuk sate" dominantly showed negative impact within its group.

Mansions and individual residential houses of the early XX century form the basis of the historical center of Novocherkassk. The building of the city harmoniously combines features of traditional Cossack housing and adherence to the capital's architectural fashion, imitation of St. Petersburg. The history of the formation of the city, the social structure of the population, economy and culture determined the features of its architecture. In preparing the article, the methods of field and historical archival research, comparative analysis of works and their details, the method of analogies are used. A comprehensive analysis of typical objects – the mansion of G.M. Salnikov, the Shamarins' mansion, the house of the ataman A.V. Samsonov, residential buildings of the military master V.A. Ratchenkov and the сossack I.A. Suslova. The space-planning, compositional, architectural and artistic features of Novocherkassk mansions and residential buildings in the 1900–1910 s are identified. The authors present the patterns of location of two types of housing in the structure of the city. The tendencies of the Art Nouveau style in the mansions are revealed. A comparative analysis of the functional planning organization and artistic-figurative solution of the Cossack kuren and the city dwelling house is carried out. The study shows the influence of two trends on the residential architecture of Novocherkassk in 1900–1910 – the capital's professional design practice and the local folk tradition.

A great part of energy produced in Europe is consumed by old residential buildings. Consequently, it is necessary to retrofit energetically non-efficient buildings. However, there is a mass financial gap between cost effective retrofitting and upgrading to nearly zero energy building levels. The efficiency of apartment building modernization under current requirements applicable in Lithuania and the requirements for 2020 was analysed, focusing on thermal insulation of external walls. Six cases of residential building modernization in Lithuania were studied estimating criteria that are among the most important for implementation of apartment building modernization, such as the total cost of the external wall modernization, simple payback period, work duration, and other parameters related to the characteristics of thermal insulation systems. The weights of the criteria were calculated after an expert survey and using integrated SWARA-TODIM multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method the best alternatives were ranked. After analyzing the differences between the current situation and upcoming requirements for rendered and ventilated type of façades, it can be stated that the final result depends more on price, duration of works, payback period, energy losses and water vapour diffusion than on the type of façade or insulation requirements applied at present or future.

The Los Angeles Earthquake Hazards Reduction Ordinance, enacted in 1981 required owners of all unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings to comply with retroactive seismic standards. Among the 8100 URM buildings are approximately 1600 residential buildings with 46,000 housing units. As of March 1991, 55% are complete, 13% are in progress, 12% have been demolished and 20% have not complied. Data kept by the city shows the average cost per unit to be about $6000, and the average rent increase for tenants to be $67 per month, a 14-26% increase over pre-retrofit rents. Less than one-third of the owners completing the retrofit have applied for rent increases. Only 6% of the completed buildings have received financing assistance from the city. Two-thirds of the residential building owners appear to be finding the financing to complete the retrofit without assistance from the city but the remaining one-third of the units are at risk because owners are unable or unwilling to undertake the required work. Tenants who were forced to leave demolished or vacated units had difficulty finding replacement housing at affordable rents, and all tenants in downtown neighborhoods have been impacted by increasing rents and lost units. The Los Angeles experience is important for other cities attempting to establish ordinances and prepare policy for assisting building owners and tenants.

Estimating residential building energy use across large spatial extents is vital for identifying and testing effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions and improve urban sustainability. This task is underpinned by the availability of accurate models of building stock from which appropriate parameters may be extracted. For example, the form of a building, such as whether it is detached, semi-detached, terraced etc. and its shape may be used as part of a typology for defining its likely energy use. When these details are combined with information on building construction materials or glazing ratio, it can be used to infer the heat transfer characteristics of different properties. However, these data are not readily available for energy modelling or urban simulation. Although this is not a problem when the geographic scope corresponds to a small area and can be hand-collected, such manual approaches cannot be easily applied at the city or national scale. In this article, we demonstrate an approach that can automatically extract this information at the city scale using off-the-shelf products supplied by a National Mapping Agency. We present two novel techniques to create this knowledge directly from input geometry. The first technique is used to identify built form based upon the physical relationships between buildings. The second technique is used to determine a more refined internal/external wall measurement and ratio. The second technique has greater metric accuracy and can also be used to address problems identified in extracting the built form. A case study is presented for the City of Nottingham in the United Kingdom using two data products provided by the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain: MasterMap and AddressBase. This is followed by a discussion of a new categorisation approach for housing form for urban energy assessment.

AbstractAn earthquake of magnitude 6.9 hit the city of Izmir (Turkey) on 30 October 2020, resulting in 117 deaths (in Turkey) and considerable economic losses. The earthquake also triggered a tsunami. Following the earthquake, field surveys are being conducted in a Covid-secure way to study and document the damages caused. The earthquake caused significant damages to residential buildings mainly located in the district of Bayrakli and Bornova. However, no damages were observed in railway and roadway bridges or tunnels and that helped the rescue operations. The damages were mainly structural which included the so-called pancake collapse (where the entire building collapsed) and soft storey type collapse (weak storey characterised with weak columns collapsed), and in some cases, only the ground floor completely collapsed. Due to the proximity of the epicentre and the geology of the area, it seemed that the ground motions were amplified. This technical note provides a summary of the seismological and recorded ground characteristics of the earthquake together with the lessons learnt.

The horizontal expansion of cities is a problem in itself because this leads to waste in the urban land and override on agricultural land in many cases, so the percentage of residential use could be large if compared to other uses of other urban land in cities. As a result, many countries have adopted the style of vertical buildings (3 - 5) floors for low height housing reaching to higher elevations, commensurate with the value and location of the urban land within the city because these residential buildings are characterized by suitable residential densities, efficient and economical use of the urban land, as well as the integrity of services that achieve the conditions for suitable and comfortable standards for housing. The problem of this research is coming from the reliance on horizontal residential building in providing the housing units in time of essential need for housing accompanied by waste in urban land with high proportion of residential use. The research is aimed to reduce the proportion of residential use of urban land in cities, including Iraqi cities, and make them close to the percentage of residential use in the world through the relying on the vertical residential building type as developed and integrated residential complexes from planning, design and service aspects. This research supported by field study of one of the multi-family housing complexes. This residential complex consisting of residential units in the form of apartments, which represent the vertical residential building.
