COMPLEX VARIANT DESIGNIND OF MICROCLIMATE PARAMETERS OF ORTHODOX CHURCHES BY COMPUTER GEOMETRIC MEANS

Abstract

This work is devoted to the further development of the methodology for optimizing the microclimate parameters of orthodox churches by means of geometric modeling. The relevance of the chosen research topic is due, in particular, to the current tense situation with the COVID-19 pandemic. The proper sanitary and hygienic condition of public buildings is quite important for the preservation of people's health in modern conditions. This applies to various institutions of medicine, education, trade, nutrition, sports, culture, etc. Orthodox churches are no exception in this regard.It is well known that the parameters of the microclimate of the building depend on its geometric characteristics such as the area and volume of rooms, wall thickness, dimensions of window and door openings, etc. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, there is the dependence on the materials used for the construction, the selected heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, etc. The external environment (air temperature, humidity, the presence of harmful substances, etc.) and the internal features of the building, for example, the number of people present in it, the duration and frequency of their stay, the activities carried out, etc. are also very significant. All this fully applies to orthodox churches.Due to the presence of certain material, financial and other restrictions that always exist during the construction of architectural structures and their further operation, it is essential to take into account the above aspects during the construction of new orthodox churches. The last mentioned processes are quite widespread in Ukraine now, what is due to the spiritual revival of the nation after decades of forced atheism.Thus, many factors, in particular, architectural space-planning solutions, selected building structures, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, etc., affect the microclimate of buildings. One of the ways of successful solution of the analyzed technical problem is the application of a complex variant design of the microclimate parameters of the rooms with the use of computer graphics. This approach is based on the fact that in the environment of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies the central place is occupied by geometric model of the creating object, which combines the rest of its mathematical and other descriptions into one whole. Coverage of the outlined direction of scientific research on the example of orthodox churches is the main purpose of this publication.
