Transcript of Example of Pedestrian Comfort & Safety study using CFD modelling software Urbawind
Green building and urban planning
NEW SOLUTIONS TO :
– Reduce energy costs thanks to natural ventilation.
– Respect environment thanks to wind and solar resource.
– Bring more quality to outdoor living spaces through studies of climate comfort.
For example, for a site study of DISCOMFORT FRECUENCIES
– Mappings of wind speed-up for prevailing wind directions at the pedestrian height (1.5 m above the ground).
– Mappings of frequencies of the gust speeds exceeding the speed of 3,6m/s at the pedestrian height (1.5 m above the ground).
To improve the projects according to the outdoor pedestrian comfort
