Innovative Urban Blue Space Design in a Changing Climate: Transition Models in the Baltic Sea Region
PublicationWaterfront areas in cities are subject to constant changes. The desire to integrate the transformed waterside areas with the urban fabric involves shaping high-quality public spaces related to water, which are often referred to as urban blue spaces (UBS). The aim of the research was to examine the transformation processes of urban waterfront areas in the Baltic Sea Region and identify emerging transition models and types of blue...

Fuzzy logic-supported building design for low-energy consumption in urban environments
PublicationClimate, building materials, occupancy patterns, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems all interact in complex ways, making it difficult to design low-energy buildings. Thus, innovative architectural and engineering design strategies are required to meet the worldwide need to decrease building energy usage. To improve the calculation of energy consumption of buildings, this work introduces the FCR-BCS (fuzzy...
