Abstract |
Building wind refers to strong winds or circulating airflows formed around buildings by arrangement and shape of buildings. Building winds
occur around most buildings, especially high-rise buildings. Today, risk of building winds is increasing due to high-rise and high-density
cities. When designing a high-rise building, it is necessary to evaluate influence of building wind by building and take measures to reduce
building wind. However, in Korea, social awareness of building wind is lacking, and there are insufficient measures for wind environment
evaluation criteria and building wind environmental impact assessment. Therefore, in this study, wind speed and direction of target area were
evaluated through field surveys of building winds observed in pedestrian walkways near high-rise buildings. |
