description: Wind comfort plays an important role in selected urban spaces, influencing safety, well-being and the quality of use of outdoor spaces, therefore its consideration is crucial in assessing the quality of the built environment. The aim of this article is to comparatively analyse the impact o on the plot atf three common building typologies - detached (DD), block perimeter (BD) and organic (OD) on wind and thermal comfort on a plot at ul. Racula 5 in Zielona Góra, which was used to build models in Autodesk Forma.

description: Additional models were also prepared with an additional structure introduced in the form of small architecture and greenery to examine their impact on the obtained simulation results. A total of 30 variants were built (10 for each type of building) and subjected to simulations. Wind comfort was analysed taking into account the westerly wind and a speed of up to 10 m/s, as well as thermal comfort according to the (UTCI) scale.

description: WCI that allowed for the ordering and averaging of the obtained results, respectively: Wind Comfort Index (WCI) and Thermal Comfort Index (TCI). In the case of WCI, the best result was achieved by block perimeter development (BD) and the worst by detached development (DD). In the case of TCI, the best result was achieved by organic development (OD), while detached development (DD) again came out the worst. Adding elements in the form of greenery and low-rise development in the examples with the worst results improved them. The obtained results also allowed for the creation of design guidelines for these typologies.
