This paper introduces a new, octree-based algorithm to assist in the automated conversion of laser scanning point cloud data into solid models appropriate for computational analysis. The focus of the work is for typical, urban, vernacular structures to assist in better damage prediction prior to tunnelling. The proposed FacadeVoxel algorithm automatically detects boundaries of building façades ...

Point clouds from multi-looking oblique view airborne laser scanning can provide information about building façades, not only for a single building but also for a larger urban area. This has the disadvantage of a reduced point density. To gain window information for building models from that data an approach has to be developed which can cope with a point cloud with low resolution (around 10 po...

In this paper we present a method which progresses towards automatically generating the texture maps for the building façades of an existing coarse three dimensional urban model. Rather than focusing on a method for achieving the exact texture map the algorithm creates two texture maps. These represent the building façade’s wall material and building features, such as windows and doors. The pap...

Modeling and reconstruction of urban environments is currently the subject of intensive research. There is a wide range of possible applications, including virtual environments like cyber-tourism, computer games, and the entertainment industries in general, as well as urban planning and architecture, security planning and training, traffic simulation, driving guidance and telecommunications, to...

Living walls are a nature-based strategy to enhance climate resilience in urban areas. There is need study the possible influence of living on thermal performance building façades, given rising temperatures 2022 across UK. This aims analyze impacts façade temperature based orientation variation through simulation Envi-met 5.0.3. software. The wall studied attached multistory located Manchester ...

The accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere carries with it severe consequences, and cities are responsible for 70% emissions. With this initiative, we address how innovative green architecture can contribute to removing from urban area by implementing elements that incorporate microalgae cultivation into architecture. presented project incorporates two photobioreactor installations filled water,...

Adaptation to climate change in cities is essential, and vertical greenery systems (VGSs) are used as a means of restoring the urban areas’ ecological integrity. This paper presents classification, typology, benefits VGS for energy performance buildings. To analyse its environmental impacts, use was simulated on façades residential buildings area City Banja Luka. The results showed that reduced...
