The problem of residential buildings' insolation is one of the fundamental in the housing planning projects' development. Currently, two normalized parameters are estimated in Russia: the insolation itself and the coefficient of natural light exposure. These two parameters together govern the planning decisions' adoption, including from the standpoint of the premises and territories' natural disinfection. At the same time, these two parameters make it possible to regulate the spot development and prevent the cases of standards violation. There are several generally accepted types of buildings characteristic of modern cities: group, perimeter, lowercase, free. Each type of building is characterized by its own layout of buildings. Accordingly, each scheme determines the insolation mode and natural illumination of buildings and territories. Mathematical analysis and full-scale experiment will allow to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the considered types of residential areas' development. In addition to the planning structure, insolation and natural illumination of territories are affected by the number of storeys in the building. The higher is the number of storeys, the less are the considered indicators. Accordingly, when considering the issues of insolation and natural light, along with the planning structure of residential buildings, attention should be paid to the number of storeys in the building. The theoretical and field studies presented in this work will allow in practice, when developing the new planning solutions, as well as reconstructing the existing buildings, to adopt the type of residential planning that most fully meets the regulatory requirements for insolation and natural light.
