First published: 2007DOI pendingView metrics

Abstract

The fast pace of global warming is the reason why housing is not sufficiently adapted to climate change. It is mainly expressed as hurricanes, flash floods, high solar radiation. The inclination of Earth’s axis combined with the Earth’s core overheating brings about strong earthquakes and tzunami waves. In order to adapt residential buildings to the dynamics of disasters, their design criteria should be updated. The criteria are related to the spatial planning, construction, heating, drainage and ground strengthening, landscape and planting. A suggestion is made for residential buildings design criteria updating, supported by a case study. In order for the problem to be solved, a current updating of regulations should be carried out in compliance with the dynamically changing situation. The concept of “ecological dwelling” should be currently updated.
