Statistical study of the influence of building architectural properties on scattered fields in urban environment

Abstract : Statistical studies on the reflection coefficient of concrete-glass building facades are conducted using a fast and an accurate method based on the Green's functions. The variation of different architectural parameters, such as concrete permitting and distribution, size and type of windows, are studied. The influence of selected parameters on the total reflection coefficient of the building is quantified for different incidence and observation angles as well as in different diffraction zones.
