Peculiar features of light environment formation in northern urban planning

[摘要] The article presents the results of studying some problems arising in the development of the infrastructure of northern regions. We considered architectural and constructive solutions to the formation of a favorable light environment in order to accelerate the adaptation process and to reduce stressful human exposure in high latitude conditions. We presented the prerequisites of environmental, bioclimatic architecture: creation of architecture, adapted to the existing climatic conditions, causing minimal environmental damage and reducing the pollution of the surrounding space, compliance of the used building materials with the existing climatic conditions in order to significantly reduce energy consumption and improve the life quality of the people living in the building; careful use of the energy resources, even in the conditions of high-latitude construction. Taking into account today's trends, the aspects, highlighted in the article, are becoming relevant, and the proposed lines of solution take an increasingly high priority.
