Buildings affect the wind flow pattern over an urban area. The wind has a significant effect on the comfort and safety of pedestrians, urban microclimate, and pollutant dispersion. It is important to include wind flow modeling in the early urban design to minimize wind safety issues and ensure pedestrian comfort. In this paper, numerical simulation...

The development of software tools has enabled more detailed analysis of the acoustic properties of a space. Therefore, this research explores the possibility of improving the acoustic and aesthetic qualities of a space through the implementation of parametric wall panels. The research was conducted in two phases. As part of the first phase, the abs...

This study examines the effectiveness of three regression methods – multiple linear, random forest, and log-linear (gamma) when applied to annual maximum daily precipitation data sets to fill in missing values. Gridded observations data of extreme daily precipitation, sourced from the Digital Climate Atlas of Serbia platform, were utilized fo...

The most significant amount of electrical energy is obtained by burning fossil fuels, which release substantial amounts of harmful gases, that contribute to environmental degradation. Because the most crucial part of the energy produced is used during the construction and operation of buildings, it is necessary to build buildings that can provide t...

Recent studies emphasize the importance of energy efficiency in public buildings, with particular attention to school facilities. While much research focuses on enhancing the thermal performance of building envelopes, it is equally crucial to analyze the indoor environment, especially thermal comfort. Since classrooms are designed for younger popul...

Previous research demonstrated a link between wood strength and brightness intensity in X-ray images. Wood samples were subjected to compression testing along and across the grain, with X-ray imaging performed on the same specimens before the mechanical tests. Differences in the brightness of X-ray images of test specimens were clearly noticeable, ...
