     summary: The whole process of visual impact assessment of planned activity (development) has to be per- formed as follows: establishment of the quality indicators of the standard (protective) visual type of landscape (determining characteristics of visual spaces, proportions of opened and developed areas, principles of the layout of buildings and greenery, possible visual contextuality of buildings); establishment of the present visual character of landscape and comparison with the standard indi- cators of landscape visual quality; formation of the target spatial model of landscape (preparation of the conception of landscape formation) the visual indicators of which have to meet the criteri- ons of vitality, complexity, harmony, expressivity, uniqueness, functionality and meaningfulness; after characterizing physical and visual features of the designed structure the possible changes of landscape visual character have to be established and evaluated from the spatial (typical view- ing places and visual spaces, zones of visual influence), quantitative (levels of identity indexes of physical and visual characteristics of the structure) and qualitative (character of contextuality of the structure) point of view; in the stage of elaboration the proposals of improvement of visual re- lation between the designed structure and the contextual landscape have to be prepared according the visual influence of the structure on the main landscape components and overall scenery. The protection of landscape visual character is encrypted in the Law on Advertising (2013).

     summary: Nowadays, green building and architecture in Serbia is a modern trend opposite to the period until 2011 when legislation did not even mention green and building in the same sentence; the only thing that was done during that eco-unfriendly period, regarding green building principles, consist- ed of copying foreign examples and getting familiar with this subject from their experiences. Also adds: “Green building is one whose construction and lifetime of operation assure the healthiest possible environment while representing the most efficient and least disruptive use of land, water, energy and resources”.

     summary: Most of them are the accredi- tation systems required to provide some basic principles related to sustainable building design (Al-Kodmany, 2015). As another challenge related to the urban adaptation process, it is an undeniable truth that high- rise buildings consume much more energy compared to low rise buildings per square meter.

     summary: Low income housing is housing whose occupancy is reserved exclusively for those families or persons that are poor and cannot afford luxurious apartment because their income level is low. The implication here is that housing deficit will be on the increase instead of decreasing because imported building materials are very expen- sive and make housing construction unaffordable to the low-income urban dwellers.

XRD analysis of the binder showed that additional OPC formed C-S-H, which should have contributed to strength development, because it is the prima- ry binding agent in OPC concrete (Fig. 4a).

      flesch: 50
     summary: Flusty (1997) sees crime prevention design as the process of creating ‘interdictory spaces’ to influence behaviour. It concludes that design to influence behaviour could be achieved if the architect has knowledge of crime prevention design concepts, theories and principles, the basic technology and types of crime prevention systems, products, and the process involved in integrating security and design.

     summary: Finally, it is recommended that housing standards should be based on the concept of “low and upgradable” which is relaxed and flexible for the low-income group while also encouraging incremental housing approach including the provision of basic infrastructure services by the government to enhance liveability. According to Bourennane, (2007), due to failure of several housing delivery strategies some governments of developing countries have adopted new enabling regulations that include relaxation of development control codes and appropriate housing standards.

     summary: To investigate the feasibility of practical use of quartz sand in plaster and quantify the effect on reducing the embodied energy and carbon footprint, a total of 30 plaster mixes with quartz sand content varying from 0% to 20% at various water/solid ratios were produced for laboratory testing, and the embodied energy and carbon footprint of each plaster mix were quantitatively estimated. One strategy to solve the problem is to employ quartz sand, an economic and abundant natural resource, to partially replace cement for plaster production to directly reduce the embodied energy and carbon footprint.

     summary: The opportunities of BIM education leads to collaboration among the different public sectors, which relates Research and development (R&D) projects, BIM dissemination, the teaching of staff, the legalization of AEC and etc. CONCLUSIONS The analyses of disciplines related with BIM and their relations in KTU show that the strength of BIM development in FCEA study programmes is the interdisciplinary joint semester projects, where not only FCEA study programmes like Architecture, Civil Engineering, Building Services Systems are involved but also study programmes from Faculty of Electrical and Electronics like Automation and Control and Electrical Engineering. This is confirmed by the investigation of a current position and associated challenges of BIM education in the United Kingdom Higher Education (Underwood and Ayoade 2015).

     summary: The utilization of simulation tools and running energy consumption studies in the design process help architects estimate the energy demand of the initial design and give them the chance to alter the design in order to enhance efficiency. Ahmed et al. collected 429 valid questionnaires to evaluate the effect of domestic energy consumption behaviour on overall energy consumption in Libya and the way it affects the peak demand, capacity, future trends, and national energy budget (Mohamed et al., 2015).

     summary: The currently started inquiry of the residents of Raudonė settlement, the aim of which is to find out what aspects of the living environment, functions, cultural values are the most important for the local residents and how they are related to the castles, is supposed to correct the research results of Panemunė landscape cultural value. However, the adjustment of high cultural value landscape merely for the purposes of visiting tourism and not for the needs of local community can result not in its revival but in irreversible degradation processes of the cultural value of landscape.

     summary: According to many studies water walls present a lower albedo than other building materials used. On one hand, architects use materials and forms to communicate ideas, while at the same time the use of water elements could become a point of gathering, a source of power, a place of culture and reflection, or a place of imagination.

     summary: According to E. Royall (2010), as natural systems evolving continuously to meet dynamic changes, biomimicry is considered to be a spiralling, continuous process, taking nature as inspiration to generate “organs” (individual products) or “organisms” (systems and processes) for the purpose of integration into a sustainable system. From that we can move to initiate new architecture.

Hence, RE income value in use will equal to the sum of discount future income and discount residual value (Aleknavičius, 2008).

     summary: Considering the issues discussed above - 1) uncertainty related with landscape planning and rurban Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering 2015/1/10 16 landscape as a particular landscape type, 2) precautionary principle requiring anticipatory action, right to know, alternatives assessment, full cost accounting, and research based participatory decision process (Environmental..., 2014), 3) multiscale approach to landscape research and planning, the ideas of 4) sustainability science and 5) landscape sustainability in the interrelated dimensions of environment, economics, equity, aesthetics, experience, and ethics (Musacchio 2009), the approach towards rurban landscape planning and related research based on four major interrelated scales - global, regional, national, local - was developed. Consequently the precautionary principle in rurban landscape planning under condition of uncertainty requires multiscale scientific sustainability-based approach in planning and related research ranging from global to local level and from abstract to very specific and concrete place-based information.

       title: Comparison of Calculation Methods of Renewable Energy Generated by Electric Heat Pumps
        date: 2015-06-30

      flesch: 50
     summary: Therefore, the calculated amount of renewable energy generated by heat pumps is higher than it should be. 49 Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering 2015/2/11 All renewable energy sources contain some non-renewable energy and for this reason, the re- quirement of the 2010/31/EU Directive, stating that more than a half of the amount of energy used by nearly zero-energy buildings should come from renewable energy sources, can only be related to the amounts of renewable and non-renewable primary energy used in the buildings, rather than energy in general, i.e. generated using renewable and non-renewable sources. The calculation results proved that using merely heat pumps in nearly zero-energy buildings will not ensure the necessary amount of energy from renewable primary energy sources.
