Abstract Natural ventilation is one of best way to solve the IAQ problem. But it is not easy to predict the amount of fresh incoming air in the design stage. Computer simulation programme is often used before design and construction without wind tunnel test. For the accurate input data of simulation, wind tunnel test is recommended. An apartment complex which is located in Kimpo, Korea was chosen and tested by wind tunnel in this study. The distribution of wind pressure in winter and summer was analysed and the result of study could be useful for natural ventilation design.
