- 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: KEYWORDS: drain water heat exchangers, energy savings, domestic hot water Introduction Space heating and cooling and domestic hot water supply represent the biggest share of energy in residential buildings (Torio and Schmidt 2010). In Lithuania, despite the fact that the costs incurred in the preparation of water at the right tem- perature is relatively high, the use in residential buildings of heat recovery from drain water still raises a lot of controversy, and drain water heat exchangers are not generally available for sale.

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.

- 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: Another benefit of bituminous sand road pavements is the reduced mixing tem- perature. One may notice that in order for bituminous sand road pavements to be used instead of con- ventional asphalt ones, these have to be advantageous in terms of costs, while still fulfilling the physical and mechanical characteristics.

- 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: Table 2.The calculations results of the heat transfer coefficient with different heat conductivity thermal insulation Thermal insulation Heat-conductive connections Heat transfer U, W/(m²ꞏK) The calculation results also indicated: - the influence of thermal breaks is significant only for insulation systems with steel and aluminium alloys connectors; - the influence of heat conductive connectors increases with increment of thickness of thermal insulating layer. - the higher influence of thermal conductive connectors was determined when lower-conductive thermo-insulating materials are used; - the thermal transmittance of ventilated facade system increases up to 2 times when the aluminium connections are used, so they should not be used for low energy buildings; - the difference between heat transfer coefficients with different conductivity of thermal insulation show that 3-D simulation is more reliable method for evaluation of point thermal bridges because obtained results follow the trends of distribution of calculation results; - significant difference in results of the empirical and 3-D calculation method (the calculations with aluminium alloy connections gave even 130 % difference) require to corrected empirical method at least for calculation of the heat transfer through the building envelopes with high thermal conductivity connections such as aluminium alloy connectors.

- summary: The method will probably never substi- tute physical scale models but it is widely applicable to short term projects and proj- ects where many modifications need to be checked in almost real time. There are several ways of representing the final design in traditional methods – by architectural drawings (plans, facades and sections), renderings and scale models.

- summary: For example, in Mongolia, straw bale buildings have approximately 80% less energy consumption compared to the conventional buildings (Bainbridge, 2004; Garas et al., 2009). Despite of the concerns for the moisture, Steen et al. (1994) state that there are straw bale buildings which don’t have any problem of deterioration of the bales in Washington which receive 75 inches of rain per year from 1970s and 1980s (Steen et al., 1994).

Thus, walkability depends on an understanding of walking behavior according to the morphology of the spaces.

- summary: There are limited studies of hemp fibre as insulation material in the Swedish context, which may be due to the fact that hemp fibre has been illegal to grow in Sweden since the 1970s, but in 2003 certain plants can be approved for cultivation (Kunglig Majestäts kansli 1972). In addition to different climate impacts, insulation materials also have different costs, which can affect the choice of material (Kymäläinen & Sjöberg 2008).

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.

- 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.
