Abstract From the perspective of global warming suppression and the depletion of energy resources, renewable energies, such as the solar collector (SC) and photovoltaic generation (PV), have been gaining attention in worldwide. Houses or buildings with PV and heat pumps (HPs) are recently being used in residential areas widely due to the time of use (TOU) electricity pricing scheme which is essentially inexpensive during middle-night and expensive during day-time. If fixed batteries and electric vehicles (EVs) can be introduced in the premises, the electricity cost would be even more reduced. While, if the occupants arbitrarily use these controllable loads respectively, power demand in residential buildings may fluctuate in the future. Thus, an optimal operation of controllable loads such as HPs, batteries and EV should be scheduled in the buildings in order to prevent power flow from fluctuating rapidly. This paper proposes an optimal scheduling method of controllable loads, and the purpose is not only the minimization of electricity cost for the consumers, but also suppression of fluctuation of power flow on the power supply side. Furthermore, a novel electricity pricing scheme is also suggested in this paper.

Abstract. Flood loss modeling is an important component within flood risk assessments. Traditionally, stage-damage functions are used for the estimation of direct monetary damage to buildings. Although it is known that such functions are governed by large uncertainties, they are commonly applied – even in different geographical regions – without further validation, mainly due to the lack of data. Until now, little research has been done to investigate the applicability and transferability of such damage models to other regions. In this study, the last severe flood event in the Austrian Lech Valley in 2005 was simulated to test the performance of various damage functions for the residential sector. In addition to common stage-damage curves, new functions were derived from empirical flood loss data collected in the aftermath of recent flood events in the neighboring Germany. Furthermore, a multi-parameter flood loss model for the residential sector was adapted to the study area and also evaluated by official damage data. The analysis reveals that flood loss functions derived from related and homogenous regions perform considerably better than those from more heterogeneous datasets. To illustrate the effect of model choice on the resulting uncertainty of damage estimates, the current flood risk for residential areas was assessed. In case of extreme events like the 300 yr flood, for example, the range of losses to residential buildings between the highest and the lowest estimates amounts to a factor of 18, in contrast to properly validated models with a factor of 2.3. Even if the risk analysis is only performed for residential areas, more attention should be paid to flood loss assessments in future. To increase the reliability of damage modeling, more loss data for model development and validation are needed.

Title: The Development of Residential District based on Local Identity on Waterfront Area at Pasar Lama Tangerang The waterfront edges along Cisadane river considered as one of the environmental assets in the area of Pasar Lama (Old Town Market) in the city of Tangerang. However, such valuable asset is neglected due to current urban planning issues specifically on the placement of residential district and land-use planning within Pasar Lama adjacent context. This might caused disintegration between the residential and the commercial areas as the objective of a city to create a sense of place– it’s also diminished the identity of Pasar Lama (Old Town Market) as a Chinatown on the banks of the Cisadane River. This research study aim to raise several questions, namely: what are the criteria for a proper residential neighborhood in the context of the waterfront area, what is the function of residential district that has its own particular identity and how does it suitable for the particular context of waterfront area in Pasar Lama (Old Town Market), and how does the concept of identity could be applied on the waterfront area, in the Tangerang’s Pasar Lama (Old Town Market). This research study based on data collected from literature studies, field observations and on-site interview. The literature study discuss the functions of identity for a residential district, waterfront area and Pasar Lama (Old Town Market). Field observation studies were carried out to examine the theory and analyze the function of residential neighborhood, building accessibility, supporting facilities for residential areas, and Pasar Lama (Old Town Market) identity. The results of this study are finding the residential functions in which aligned with the parameters on residential design in the waterfront area and the local identity of the Tangerang Pasar Lama (Old Town Market). It aims to make the Pasar Lama (Old Town Market) areas to create and establish the local identity reflecting tourism, commercial and residential neighborhood, in addition to the mixed-use development on the waterfront area around the banks of the Cisadane river. Lastly, this research study also attempt to re-configure the land- use planning as well as strategize on how to locate the residential district that supports the relationship to its adjacent commercial areas.

Background. Lead and cadmium are components of paints sold in Nigeria. These heavy metals are associated with adverse neurological, cardiovascular and other human health effects. Objectives. This study assesses the levels of lead and cadmium in topsoil of residential areas in Lagos and Ibadan potentially resulting from painting of buildings. Methods. Samples were pre-treated prior to metal determination using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Metal speciation was determined using modified Tessier sequential extraction. Soil characteristics were determined by standard methods. Soil contamination was assessed using contamination factor, geo-accumulation and pollution load indices. The United States Environmental Protection Agency integrated exposure uptake biokinetic (IEUBK) model was used to estimate and predict children's blood lead levels (BLL). Results. Lead and cadmium concentrations in residential areas in Lagos and Ibadan ranged from 1.56–419 mg/kg and not detected–2.8 mg/kg, respectively. Metal contamination factor and pollution load index were highest at the Lagos low income settlement. Results of IEUBK modelling showed that the Lagos low income settlement had the highest probability density for children between 1–7 years of age with an estimated BLL of >10 μg/dL. This population made up less than 0.01% of those within this age range. Conclusions. Lead and cadmium concentrations in soil around the residential buildings were higher than those in the control sample. Contamination factor and pollution load index showed significant contamination in average and low income settlements. These results suggested that there was accumulation of the metals in the soil, which can persist in the environment. This may pose serious health risks, especially to vulnerable groups such as children. Competing Interests. The authors declare no competing financial interests.

The article presents the results of assessment of the conformity of the existing living environment and identification of features of its development, based on the needs of older adults. The urbanization of society and the aging of the population are one of the factors that have recently given rise to the forms of development of the residential environment, which determine special organizational, managerial, and urban planning decisions for designing the parameters of residential buildings and housing stock, based on the needs of this category of citizens. Strategic tools made it possible to outline the main directions for the development of a comfortable living environment, based on the needs of older adults. The developed roadmap provides for the optimization of the existing regulatory framework for the design of residential areas and the popularization and implementation of new standards for integrated development. A city designed according to standards that meet the needs of various categories of citizens determines their choice of alternative social models of the living environment.

The Poor

The use of urban land in cities can be improved and the poor execution of Urban planning is related to the problem of housing. The problem of housing has become acute because of the tremendous increase of urban population and unplanned growth of the cities. Mumbai has a population of 20,411,000 thus it is the target of our analysis project. Affordable housing in Mumbai has become an unfathomable challenge, it one of the most complex probes in this city. About 42% of Mumbais housing comprises slums. With this in mind, our aim is to help the decision of buying houses, by recommending localities with basic amenities. We hope to make the process of scrutinizing residential buildings more streamlined. We also hope to underscore areas with housing potential in this study. We use K-Means Clustering to cluster the different neighborhoods of Mumbai, based on the availability of 31 amenities in the neighborhood. We have used Data from Wikipedia to get the list of neighborhoods in Mumbai, and we use Foursquare API to get a list of amenities in each area of the neighborhood. We then evaluate the model using silhouette score and plot a graph using folium to show the different clusters on the map of Mumbai.

The City

<p><b>Development of technology and the rapid increase in population has led to tremendous growth in the population of China. Beijing the capital city has become significantly overcrowded due to a high number of residents.The traditional courtyard houses have been drastically transformed and lost their cultural values over time. The quadrangle courtyard reflects the work and art of conventional Chinese residences. An average Beijing quadrangle courtyard building reflects both utility and aesthetics in its design and development. Quadrangle courtyard is designed to have a family-centered pattern with neighbors of the trunk and the community area for social networking and finally denotes cultural profundity. The poor architectural designs and ineffective construction practices have caused many problems in the city regarding sustainability and environmental protection, which has, in turn, increased the concerns of people towards building the traditional houses to ensure better living standards and greater sustainability. This study aims to conduct an evaluation of applications of green construction practices of the traditional courtyard houses on the renovation and reconstruction of contemporary residential buildings in Beijing. </b></p> <p>The study utilizes quantitative approaches for collection and subsequent evaluation of data regarding the subject matter of the research. With respect to the literature review, thesis has performed a review of different literature including journal articles, books, newspapers, and other publications, while for collection of primary data has used with computer-assisted architectural simulation models, which is then analyzed through data triangulation technique. Further, a base model and reference models are generated for computer simulation usingPhoniecs and Green Simulation Studio software's, for the analysis and to analyse the influence of internal courtyard and courtyard for wind flow. The model that exhibits the best width to length ratio and natural room environment is chosen for evaluation.The study was conducted in the residential areas of Dashilar Hutong, Jingyang, Deyang,Dongcheng District, Yue Hutong, Changchun Street Hutong Area, and Yongning District. The study is limited to the given areas only, and no evaluation is performed on other areas of the city and buildings that are not recently renovated or reconstructed. The study also provides recommendations to the architect firms and regulatory authorities regarding applications of green construction practices of the traditional courtyard houses on the renovation and reconstruction of contemporary residential buildings in Beijing. In the assessment, the spatial design of courtyards is balanced; the aspect ratio is planned to crate natural buffer space is created.</p> <p>Further, to examine the performance of the courtyard design the study applied the Computational Fluid Dynamics (C.F.D.) programming, Parabolic Hyperbolic, or Elliptic Numerical Integration Code Series (PHOENICS), for wind condition simulation. Later with the help of the Green build studio of Autodesk, the study had undergone Green Simulation. The Quadrangle courtyard building performance is analyzed by Green BuildingStudio to generate outputs like heating and cooling loads, and monthly electricity and fuel consumption, and their life cycle cost. Results show for a courtyard with a decent combination of courtyard layout and aspect ratiois chosen. Finally, the study suggests the best suited planning strategy for the new proposals and design implications for a new courtyard from the angle of green building construction.</p>

Abstract The inadequate consideration of the impact of building morphology on ventilation efficiency in many urban residential areas has resulted in a series of environmental problems that threaten human health. The purpose of this paper is to establish a prediction model between ventilation efficiency and building forms in residential areas. Firstly, the characteristics of vertical wind profile in residential areas are measured through unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); secondly, the wind speed ratio (WSR) at different height levels under the impact of morphological index (floor area ratio, building density, average building height, enclosure degree, height fall and maximum building height) in the residential area is simulated by ENVI-met; finally, two kinds of prediction formulas are obtained: (1) the average ventilation efficiency at the pedestrian level and (2) the prediction formula of WSR at different heights. The results show that the wind speed (WS) in residential area below 35 m is about 0.6 m/s lower than that in park. The results of numerical simulation show that the mean WSR at the pedestrian level is negatively correlated with each index and the height fall morphological index has the greatest impact on the WSR at different heights. The research can provide a reference for the optimal planning and design of ventilation efficiency of residential buildings, especially those in static wind areas.
